Amazing Grace
This solo opens with a gentle, Celtic fashion in a duple meter. It progresses through a series expressive obbligati giving a sense of elevation. As it nears the end it modulates metrically and harmonically to a triple meter, and then final repose.

The Trumpet Shall Sound- Aria
Taken from the “Messiah”, this duet (trpt. and tromb.-opt bar/tuba) with piano is essentially a transcription of the original work. The balance in the writing between the solo and the accompaniment allows for great flavor.

Face To Face
An accompanied clarinet trio which begins with a flowing motif setting up a sense of serenity. The first statement allows all three of the clarinets to intertwine for a constant, gentle movement- this action is a common denominator throughout the piece. A modulation takes place where the pitch is elevated, but also the rhythms more intense as the piece becomes more fluid even as the three solo lines are unaccompanied. The final statement is strong, bold and resolved.
