Change My Heart, O God (solo Eb/F)

Opening with a fanfare, the first section is in block harmonization with some moving lines. It then moves into melodic statements in the lower instruments with supported obiligatti in the trumpets and horn. The structure again becomes solid in scoring only to return with similar trumpet obbligati. The obbligati is next introduced in the lower voices and then increased rhythmic activity in all voices builds to a solid ending.

A traditional quintet with optional sixth part baritone, this driving arrangement passes the melodic material constantly around the ensemble. A fun piece to play!
