  • Life, Joy and Peace (Solo Bb/C)

    Based on the wonderful old gospel song, “‘Tis so Sweet to Trust in Jesus” by Louisa M.R. Snead (1850-1917) and William James Kirkpatrick (1838-1921), this solo with instrumental ensemble accompaniment features one verse and two choruses from the song.
    After a brief introduction based on intervals from the song, the soloist plays an original melody by the composer prior to a light and energetic rendition of the first chorus. The verse appears in a more sustained style by the soloist, accompanied by a smooth, chorale-like background.
    The second chorus is played by the soloist while the opening original theme is juxtaposed underneath. The introduction is reintroduced prior to an ascending finale by the soloist.

  • I Want Jesus To Walk With Me

    African American spirituals are a rich part of our nation’s history – offering songs of hope for the oppressed as well as soulful hymns for the Church. “I Want Jesus to Walk With Me” is one such spiritual. While the text references many trials that must be endured, it maintains a sense of hope. It is a prayer to God to be with us throughout all our life, and with Jesus, we will overcome the trials.

    The tune follows a similar pattern. Even though the melody is in a minor key, the repetitive form and quick tempo portray an upbeat thought, despite the trials that are being depicted.

  • Happy Land

    Andrew Young (1807-1891) spent his life in Edinburgh, Scotland where he was a school teacher and head master. Many of Mr. Young’s hymns and poems were published in 1876 as The Scottish Highlands and Other Poems, which included “There Is a Happy Land,” which is included in many hymnals to this day. Its theme of eternal life and peace is summed up in the first verse:

    There is a happy land, far, far away,
    Where saints in Glory stand, bright, bright as day.
    O how they sweetly sing: Worthy is our Savior King!
    Loud let His praises ring, praise, praise for aye.

  • Fanfare Overture on St. Anne

    The hymn tune “St. Anne” was composed in 1708 by William Croft, the organist at St. Anne’s Church, Soho, London. The words, “O God Our Help in Ages Past” were written by Isaac Watts, also in 1708, as a paraphrase of Psalm 90. For a hymn, the tune is remarkably strong and resolute and has often been used by other composers, notably J. S. Bach and Handel, as the basis for different compositions.

    This particular “fanfare overture” setting of the tune is somewhat in keeping with the contrapuntal uses that were in fashion when the tune was originally composed. Instead of standard percussion, for example, timpani alone are used, a reference in style to the celebratory percussion and trumpet combinations of the 18th century.

    Never a friend like Jesus.

  • Come Thou Almighty King

    An 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.

The coda quickly shifts back to the original meter and the piece becomes quite rhythmic leading up to a final conclusive figure.

  • O Come To The Altar

    This popular worship song by the group Elevation Worship topped the charts in 2017 and is still widely sung around the world. The song is something of a modern-day paraphrase of the classic gospel song “Softly and Tenderly, Jesus Is Calling,” and this arrangement interweaves fragments of that melody with the melody of the newer song. The bridge of the song leaves for a moment the invitational quality of the text and breaks into a paean of pure praise – “O what a Savior, isn’t He wonderful? Sing alleluia, Christ is risen!” – making the arrangement particularly useful in the Easter season.
