All That Thrills My Soul is Jesus

This clarinet duet would be useful as a special presentation in a service. The nature of the work portrays great joy, variety, and dimension. The conclusive sections are deliberate and strong.

This duet is unaccompanied and includes both simple duet movement as well as contrasting contrapuntal activity between the parts. As the piece progresses more activity and joy is expressed and ends on a high note giving way to the essence of the title.

An accompanied saxophone duet (2-Altos with opt. Tenor) duet which begins with a melodic motif and then presents the hymn tune in unison by the two parts. The chorus then breaks into a duet harmonization in a straight forward manner. The next section presents the first part in a melodically altered rendition with the second part answering in an obbligato like fashion. The middle section is a Q&A form with the piano dropping out, followed by a piano solo section. A modulation now gives rise to the second part acting as a solo, followed by another modulation where the first takes over as a soloist. Then another modulation where the two parts present the chorus in a straight duet section., where it remains until the end.

A duet for flutes and piano and is presented as a suite. Titles include “Christmas Is Here- Weinacht Is Heut,” “Alle Jahre Wieder,” “Come, Ye Shepherds- Kommet, Ihr Hirten.” Can be performed as a solo.

Scored for two woodwind instruments with piano, the piece begins with a solo line and then adds the duet line. The ending section does much the same only with more rhythmic enhancement. An easy piece but gives opportunity for much expression.
