They’ll Know We Are Christians By Our Love
$40.00Back in the 1970’s this was the “most popular” Christian song with young people, as it expressed the true meaning of the Christian lifestyle. Written in a “rhapsodic” style with free treated variations, including 5/4 and 6/8 times, along with very unusual rhythmic counterpoint, this creative work will be a highlight with audiences and performers!

Battle Victorious
$65.00Written in the traditional sonata form this tone poem depicts the spiritual battle of the Christian against the powers of evil. The first theme of Sound The Battle Cry serves as a call to arms. The second theme shows preparation by way of the cross with Lead Me To Calvary. Suddenly, the Development section thrusts the themes into battle using devices such as the fugue, stretti, imitation, inversion, and augmentation. As with the promised victory, the themes reappear together in a glorious Recapitulation. Eph. 6:11.
