Endurance

This flute solo begins with the piano playing a gentle motif of the theme and then joined in with the solo line playing the theme in a straight forward fashion. The theme is now stated in a modified manner while the soloist exudes a moving obbligato line which adds more excitement to the piece. The piece concludes with the latter section of the first section and then settles into a solemn repose.

This flute solo is highly reflective in nature and incorparates the titles of :At The Cross”; “There’s Room At The Cross For Me”; “Beneath The Cross Of Jesus”. The piece is gentle and offers the opportunity far a great deal of expression. While there is embellishment of the lines they are done with taste.

The effect of a parade coming and going… using: Jesus Loves The Little Children; Onward Christian Soldiers; I’ve Got the Joy, Joy, Joy

A solo instrument with piano accompaniment? Can an arrangement capture the essence of the original with the majesty of full chorus and orchestra? This piece really does- it is amazingly complete!

Although the melody is gently modified, this solo with piano displays both a sensitivity along with an elevated soaring quality expressing the need for divine interaction on the part of humanity.
