Proclamation Medley
$12.00A brass sextet with opt. parts for flugelhorn and BHTC. The beginning presents a vigorous fanfare where it settles down into solemn rendition of “We’ve A Story To Tell To The Nations.” After a modulation the piece continues with “I Love To Tell The Story” with more open scoring passing the tune around amongst the parts. Another modulation, another tune- this time “Send The Light” in a march style giving purpose. Another modulation leading into “Since I Have Been Redeemed” in the upper parts, only to be followed with the theme in the lower voices. Then after a sequence of cascading entrance the piece concludes on a resounding sense of resolve.
