Away In A Manger (acc)

This saxophone trio is presented in an exciting, straight forward fashion; moving continually in a statement of joy and revelry. It ends on a high note of praise.

This clarinet trio begins with a delightful moving motive in the piano to be joined with the first part, then a duet with part two and then a trio with all three parts. The next section is solemn as the piano drops out and then all join in for an active presentation. The last section begins the theme in the third part with some imitation from part two until the first part takes over the theme and continues in this manner. The coda is simple giving a sense of peace.

A clarinet trio that expresses the joy of redemption through melodic embellishment, some trills, and harmonic changes. The hymn tune, “Redeemed”, is passed around amongst the parts of this unaccompanied trio.

An accompanied saxophone (A-A-A/T) trio beginning with a piano introduction. The first section is a blocked harmony in the saxes with the first carrying the melody. The second section uses the same underlying rhythmic patterns but now the structure is in a different meter (quadruple vs the previous triple) which gives an extended feeling. A couple modulations take place and the style becomes smooth and expressive. This all leads towards the Coda where the whole premise shifts the moods of the beginning where it increases in tension and ends with solid impact.
