America, The Beautiful
$39.95
For full orchestra the piece begins with a straight forward introduction and then settles into a solemn mood. The theme is first presented in the horns and then joined with the upper woodwinds. A transition is carried by the brass and then modulates upward where the woodwinds and strings burst forth with a decorated version of the melody supported by the full orchestra. The chordal structure and rhythms become stronger until it concludes on a strong resolute chord.

He Is Born, The Divine Christ Child
$11.00Three 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.

Jesus’ Hands Were Kind Hands
$11.00Three Plus Flutes for three soprano with opt. 4th/ob. with alto and bass & piccolo. 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.
