Trouble The Water
$29.95“Wade in the Water” is a well-known spiritual that was one of the songs associated with the Underground Railroad. Since its first commercial recording in 1925 by the Sunset Four Jubilee Singers, it has been widely performed and recorded.
This arrangement stylistically emulates the theme of the popular 2017 television show The Chosen, which also uses this same spiritual. The title is taken from the last line of the song: “God’s gonna trouble the water.”

As Lately We Watched
$11.00A woodwind quartet with optional parts is presented in a joyful manner giving a sense of expectation. After a pert introduction, the melody is stated with a solo clarinet with answering figures rotated amongst the other voices. A joyful bridge section gravitates towards a modulation with the tune stated in the lower voices. The piece goes into a free, flourishing motion where it heads into yet another modulation. The tune now is doubled in the flute and clarinet with accompaniment figures moving in hemiola sets. After a set of imitation figures passed about the ensemble the piece goes into a coda section with more joyful figures.

Come Thou Almighty King
$10.00An accompanied brass trio for trumpet, horn (trumpet) and trombone (baritone horn TC). The piece begins with a motive that is imitative and builds in intensity until the theme is presented in the trombone with punctuations from the upper voices. It continues much in this manner until the chorus erupts in block harmonies. After a modulation and meter change, the trio presents a fanfare style until it abruptly reverts to the original meter. And then a more solemn manner, all the while gaining strength until a conclusive ending.
