Christmas For Brass
$12.00
Scored for traditional brass quintet the piece incorporates material from Pat-a-Pan with the melodic material in the upper voices and then passed to the lower voices. After much rhythmic activity the piece becomes more legato and flowing, and modulates to a new key using material from “O Come, O Ye Faithful Him,” in a fugal style After a new modulation the fragmented theme is broken into entrances by the various instruments- the tune_ “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,” where it is broken into more syncopated renditions. Another modulation? Yes and this time introducing “Angels From The Realms Of Glory” The final section is imitative with brief snatches of “Joy To The World!”

The second setion in a different key is reminiscent of the opening only this time in the middle voices and again moves in a Q&A type of dialog. Again modulating to a new key the theme is bounced around with rhythmical interest only to finalize in strong chordal patterns and ending on a bold declamation.

I Will Sing Of The Mercies
$9.00A woodwind quintet with opt. parts for Alto Sax and Bass Clar. This piece presents itself with a sense of joy throughout with the introduction itself in a motivic manner setting the tone The piece passes through several modulations where the upper voices carry the melodic material while the lower voices support the ensemble with strength.

Brighten The Corner Where You Are
$12.00A standard brass quintet with optional trumpet for horn. As one might expect the piece is cheerful from beginning to end. After a bright intro, the trumpet carry the tune until handed over to the middle voices with flourishes in the trumpets. After a transition that leads upward to an exciting climax. The piece abruptly shits to a quiet and expressive section lead by the trombone on the theme where it all builds to another zenith and once again abruptly goes quiet. A modulation and meter shift and the piece becomes countrapuntally gentle.. A meter shift back to the beginning and an exuberant building to a joyous conclusion.
