A straight forward trio for trombone (with optional horn and baritone TC parts) that is well balance in the scoring. The melody is tossed around between the various parts while the piano tends to act is an obbligato. Solid and functional.

A simple statement with beautiful harmonies begins this arrangement. It modulates to a stirring Maestoso section, giving the low saxophones the melody. A return to the “A” section follows with a big, harmonically colorful, ending.2 asx, 2 tsx, bsax,

My Country ‘Tis of Thee
A brass quintet that is score for two trumpets, horn and two trombones. The introduction uses an imitation format while at a soft expressive feeling. The first section is somewhat straight forward that passes the tune around amongst the various parts while sitting on chordal movement. This format continues on into the next section of the piece with the parts moving in and out of the texture. The third section essentially shows the first trumpet in an obbligato fashion concluding into a Maestoso feel. After several modulations the piece immediately becomes solemn and resolves oh so peacefully.

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.
