A Rich Heffler Music arrangement of a Hubert Parry song. The introduction is straight forward in the piano and shortly thereafter joined by the soloist. The theme is well decorated- yet in a sensitive manner. The middle section of the piece the roles are reversed with the piano carrying the tune and the solo line providing an uplifting obbligato incorporating much flourish. The piece continues in a similar ever increasing in dynamic and melodic power ending with a strong conclusion.

A Rich Heffler Music arrangement. Basically a straight forward presentation of the melody in the first and third verses which are more staid. The middle section is quite florid. The accompaniment has the flavor of the impressionist construction and harmony.

This solo with piano begins with a straight forward introduction in the piano and then sets a solemn mood for the soloist. First plaintive and then with more deviation of the tune. The second section of the piece is stronger and with an almost obbligato treatment of the tune increasing in activity until it concludes on a strong high point.

This bassoon piece is sheer delight from beginning to finish. It takes the basic hymn and embellishes the tune in such a way that gives it a whole new flavor. It incorporates scale and arpeggiate movements along with some trills to enhance the exciement. Look! Listen! Play! It is a glorious piece!

A Rich Heffler Music arrangement. The piece begins with a statement of “Flow Gently Sweet Afton,” in the piano and is restated by the soloist in a ritornello format. The second statement is made in the piano while soloist soars above it with an obbligato. The piece then switches to “Luther’s Hymn” and then breaks into a variation-like presentation and then begins a free form. The final section imitates the beginning one and then becomes solemn and peaceful.

It then breaks into the tune in a rather matter-of-fact manner and then adds more embellishment as it progresses. The middle section is extended to give a solemn meditative mood and then breaks into more action for contrast. The piece ends with a quiet, slow and determined repose.

This is a level three solo with piano accompaniment that exudes majesty, tenderness and elegance all at the same time. While it abounds with melodic embellishment the song itself is never lost in the mix. It is simply delightful from beginning to end. It will make a service, concert or contest enhanced because of its presentation.

This solo piece opens with a sense of reverence presenting the melody in a gently modified fashion. The middle section gains intensity rhythmically with a rhapsodic form of theme variations. It continues to elevate only to relax into final peace.

In a Bach fugal style

A solo with piano accompaniment. After a solid introduction the arrangement presents the melody with a simple statement. After several melodic statements the soloist then presents itself with a delightful counterline. It is finalized with declamation.
