Jacob’s Dream
A percussion quintet that is accessible for younger players uses several basic instruments. The original melody is present by the bells throughout with various percussive colors by the other instruments. The middle section is a rhythmic break up acting as a contrast to the earlier section. The final section goes back to the design of the first section with more accompanying activity in the non-tonal instruments. The coda section crescendos to an exciting conclusion.

O Thou That Tellest G/Tid’gs
Taken from the “Messiah”, this brass quintet is essentially a transcription of the original work. It features sufficient counterpoint between the various instruments.
