What Wondrous Love Is This
This piece begins with a single violin, then adds a second, then adds the viola, and then opens up with the richness of the full ensemble. The simplicy continues with two violins with light accopaniment and then blossoms u with the full ensemble once again. The harmonic and countrapul tension builds to the end with the establishment of a picard third, chord.

The Old Rugged Cross
This moderately easy violin solo begins with a soulful harmonic progression in the accompaniment (alla Moonlight Sonata) that introduces the melody in a 3-4 meter. The theme is presented in its entirety. After a brief modulation the accompaniment takes over in a rich melodic/harmonic interplay of the tune and supporting lines, only to be joined with a simple counter line in the solo. The piece gains strength with the rhythmic interplay between the soloists and the accompaniment and then calms to a style presented in the opening measures. Final rest.

The Old Rugged Cross
The introduction of this brass sextet (3 Trp., 3 Trom.) begins with strong choral movement and then settles into repose. The first presentation of the tune is in the trombones with a subtle counterline in the trumpets which then opens up to a stronger movement with the melody in the trumpet. The tune then reverts back to the trombones and then transitions to a move active support pattern in the trombones with a solo in the second trumpet. The final section gives way to a powerful presentation of the tune and immediately settles into a sensitive climate, much like the beginning. After a DC the piece ends with the strong motifs of the introduction giving a sense of finality. (Opt Horn for 1st Trom.)
