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.

In The Garden
The piece begins with an arpeggiated paino (alla harp) and then joined by tutti flutes. The theme is stated in the fashion unilt it breaks into a flute trio harmonization, with more vigor. The piece gravitates to a new key where any of the parts can serve as the soloist. The final section is stronger and again uses the benefit of the flute trio harmonies. It progresses to a gentle and quiet repose as if in a pastorale setting.

Rejoice In The Lord
A four part percussion ensemble scored for Bells, Marimba (synth), SD/Tri/Bongo/Sys.Cym/Timp & Tamb. It is a straightforward medley using “Rejoice In The Lord Always” and “This Is My Commandment.” The flavor is driving with the melodic material presented in the mallet instruments while punctuated with the various rhythm instruments involved. A delightful arrangement from beginning to end.
