Silent Night
Traditionally scored with an opt. third violin part for viola. The piece presents itself with the melody in tact but with little thematic motifs passed are the various parts for interest. Gently presented and moderate in difficulty- very adaptable.

The Birthday Of A King
For string quartet with optional third violin the piece opens with mutiple entrances and alternates between those devices with more solidly scored, traditional material. Simpe. Rich. Meaningful.

I Wonder As I Wander
This cello solo starts out with piano motive that will be used throughout the piece and is then joined with the solo using the last phrase of the song. The next section uses the tune pretty much in its original form with the piano adding various arpeggios and thematic motives. The piano then presents a flowing version of the song while the soloist adds a idiomatic obbligato… then the final section has the soloist presenting the melody while the piano punctuates an underlying accompaniment. The coda section is much like the introduction and the soloist gives one final thematic motive.

Pastoral Symphony
An accompanied violin duet taken from Handel’s Messiah. After a two measure introduction the violins (in duet form) present the tune in simple form with occasional trills. It starts softly and builds climatically and progresses back to soft stages where it goes back to the beginning and jumps to a abbreviated coda.

What Child Is This
A violin solo with piano accompaniment. The pieces starts out with piano only and allows the entrance of the solo violin and a rather straight forward rendition of this beloved song. After a brief transition the solo is modified with a constant modified and moving line while being supported by a single voice counterpoint in the left hand of the piano. The chorus is then a bit more staid and the accompaniment more chordal. Another brief piano interlude is stated with melodic material and the piece becomes more fragmented and motivic with a gentle settling to the end.
