Battle Victorious
$65.00
Written in the traditional sonata form this tone poem depicts the spiritual battle of the Christian against the powers of evil. The first theme of Sound The Battle Cry serves as a call to arms. The second theme shows preparation by way of the cross with Lead Me To Calvary. Suddenly, the Development section thrusts the themes into battle using devices such as the fugue, stretti, imitation, inversion, and augmentation. As with the promised victory, the themes reappear together in a glorious Recapitulation. Eph. 6:11.

I Want Jesus To Walk With Me
$11.00Three Plus Flutes for three soprano with opt. 4th/ob. with alto and bass. A beginning that is yearning in emotion and subtle shifts in harmonic and linear lines. A modulation to a higher tessitura in strong block chords gives a feeling of strength. The piece then settles back into the original key with a series of imitation of the various parts. The piece becomes more solemn as the pitch levels drop until settling into a final cadence.
