When I Can Read My Title Clear
$4.50This horn solo begins with a fanfare styled motive of the theme and then calms down to a florid presentation of the tune with a sweeping counterline in the piano. The second section is an imitative interplay between the parts moving into an extended presentation of the melody. The final section is a rather pompous march based on the tune and then moves to a more lyrical movement- much the beginning.

The First Noel

The final section concludes with much of the opening flavor and establishes the story with a solid cadence.

Of Honor and Duty
$49.00Of Honor and Duty is an overture suggesting two traits of dignified character.
A brief, slow introduction in F Major featuring a horn solo over a timpani roll, is followed by a rhythmic, accented, brass figure supported by percussion and colorful woodwind embellishments. The second part of this section features a contrasting melody in woodwinds braced by an alto saxophone solo. The brass return, and the first section of the overture slows to a meditative 3/4 section in Bb Major. The main theme then returns in F Major, culminating in a final noble punctuation by brass and percussion with woodwind flourishes. Dedicated to Mr. David E. Smith -

Holy, Holy, Holy
$13.00This sextet takes a different twist on what is typically a reverent piece and makes it majestic. From the traditional 4-4 meter it is presented in 6-8 giving it a lilt.

The second section is much in a fugal structure (in 4-4) and then gravitates back to 6-8 swapping the theme between the upper and lower parts.
