Fanfare For Thanksgiving Day

For three like instruments, accompanied by piano, the piece is largely homophonic in nature. There are various phrases that are rhythmically altered for interest-active, yet sublime.

This trio for Easter renders a simple and gentle movement that is continually flowing with contrapuntal lines that exudes wonderment- truly a piece that causes reflection. There is activity in each of the parts and the melodic material is passed around for interest. If you want a piece for reflection this might well be the piece for you.

This trio begins with a joyful piano introduction which leads into a three part harmonization of the instrumental parts. The second section is a lilting (waltz feeling) in block harmonization and then goes into a bell-tone rendition of the tune. A brief transition in a slower, expressive style comes to repose where it concludes in the joyful style that the piece began.

(accompanied)

A clarinet trio with piano accompaniment that is gentle smoothly moving that carries a lyrical flavor throughout. On occasion there are brief alterations of the melody to add variety and movement. A good piece for tender moments.
