God Of Our Fathers
For brass choir, percussion and organ. This is a massive work in expression. It begins with the brass in a fanfare opening. The theme is then presented in the middle and low brass with the trumpets adding splashes of punctuation. The thematic material then alternates between the middle and low brass with the organ. The trumpets then add in with a sweeping transition and the organ goes to work supplying most of the action. The brass alternate between high and low instruments to make color shifts. They all join in together leading up to a massive conclusion where a congregation or vocal ensemble can sing the final verse with the brass and organ alternating by adding fanfare motives right up to the final punctuated chords.

Battle Hymn Of The Republic
For brass choir and percussion- this is a very strong and ambitious work. With a firery and fanfare like beginning the introduction then breaks into a solid full ensemble sound. The first section is carried by the horns along with trumpet and percussion punctuations. The second section features the trumpet with the remaining brass supporting it with pyramid chords. The next section is more like a processional where it comings to repose. Moving on to a chordal rendition of the tune the flow of the piece is broken up in to phrase like sections. After a flair of the trumpets the piece becomes solid in its structure coming to a massive conclusion.
