Fanfare on Alleluias
This is a brass trio with piano accompaniment. The brass scoring is for trumpet, horn or flugel horn, and trombone or baritone. The style is presented in a majestic manner first in block harmonies and then in a hocket structure. After a florid manner the piece follows a somewhat straight forward manner using fanfare motives in the upper parts the motion becomes more imitative. The final section is quite imitative and uses an overlayering of parts producing enjoyable passing around of the tune in a contrapuntal manner. With a final fanfare the piece concludes.
