Jesus’ Hands Were Kind Hands
A Woodwind quartet for two flutes and 2 clarinets. The first phrase is stated in the top voice, then adding the second voice, further adding the third voice until all voices are in agreement. The next section moves in a rather jaunty motion going through various meter changes. The middle section is stated with the tune in the top voice with accompaniment figures presented in a syncopated manner. All this happening in a modulated key. Further modulation takes place with a motive stated in the second voice, followed the third, then first until it settles into a final statement of kindness.

Jesus, Lover Of My Soul
A Woodwind quartet for two flutes and 2 clarinets.An opening with an active top voice giving over to the lower voices doing the same. Then in block harmonic movement the pieces moves along with subtle harmonic shifts. The middle section continues in much the same fashion with dynamic shifts. The next area is the same fashion only this time with the lower voices carrying the activity and the upper voice in more solemn movement. The final section is more active with the top voice using material from the introduction and slows to repose.

Through The Love Of Christ, Our Saviour
A Woodwind quartet for two flutes and 2 clarinets. Opening with the upper two parts and then adding the lower voices gravitating to a block harmonic structure. The middle section starts with lower voices using a extraneous motif and stacked with upper voices doing the same in imitation. Then with more vigor all voices join in block harmonies until the final section where again imitation takes place until the final block harmonies take place.

He Is Born, The Divine Christ Child
Three Plus Flutes for three soprano with opt. 4th/ob. with alto and bass & piccolo. The piece gins in a spritely duet in the upper voices and reverses roles with the lower voices carrying the melody and duet lines. All four voices now join in a smooth, serene fashion until it gains dynamic and harmonic strength. A modulation upward with the tune in voice two, and an obbligato-like movement in part one, while the lower parts underpin with a simplistic, though active line. In the last section the parts become more active and excitement abounds until a final flourish establishes the end.

I Want Jesus To Walk With Me
Three Plus Flutes for three soprano with opt. 4th/ob. with alto and bass. A beginning that is yearning in emotion and subtle shifts in harmonic and linear lines. A modulation to a higher tessitura in strong block chords gives a feeling of strength. The piece then settles back into the original key with a series of imitation of the various parts. The piece becomes more solemn as the pitch levels drop until settling into a final cadence.

The Master Hath Come
Three Plus Flutes for three soprano with opt. 4th/ob. with alto and bass & piccolo. An introduction using unrelated material leads the tune presented in voice two, supported by harmonies in the lower voices, then an obbligato-like motion added by the upper voice. A modulation upward makes room for a duet in the upper lines, later joined by the lower voices in a contrapuntal fashion. The final section becomes more vigorous and imitative until a solid, declamatory ending.

I Wonder As I Wander
This solo is plaintive throughout as it begins with a simple melodic motive. The first verse is simply stated in the solo while supported with broken chords in the piano. The second verse is much like the first but the piano not supports the tune with gentle punctuations. The third verse is in the piano while the solo line produces a ebb and repose obbligato- the two line join together in a dramatic cadence and then settles down to a quite repose where the piano continues in a solemn flavor. The final statement in the solo is much like the first where it is joined with moving scale patterns in the piano. The two players sweep upward one last time to then settle down into solemnity.
