Crown Him with Many Crowns
A trumpet trio with organ that starts out in a fanfare fashion, followed by a block harmony in all instruments. Next are flourishes in the organ versus trumpets. The next verse is in the bass of the organ answered by the trumpets. A stacked motif in the trumpets, alternating with the organ followed by more trumpet flourishes. A modulation takes the trumpets into a higher range and altered melodic materials until it all ends in a majestic conclusion.

My Country ‘Tis of Thee
For three trumpets and piano the piece starts out in a fanfare fashion and quickly settles down into an expressive mode with the piano creating a flowing pattern. Two trumpets at a time play in unison, switching off between parts. The first then adds a obbligato fanfare, then adding all three parts in harmony. The next section alternates between easy flowing sections and vigorous additions. The piece quickly concludes in a stately fashion. The piece would serve well as a fanfare in various venues.

America, the Beautiful
For trumpet trio and piano, the trio begins with a majestic statement and soars to a high point where it then settles down to a more solemn style. The three solo parts now exercise smooth contrapuntal interaction and then abruptly becomes more agitated. After coming to a strong climax the three parts, unaccompanied, become very expressive and tentative only to be followed with the piano joining in a strong sense of resolve.
