Hallelujah Choruses #16 Instrumental package

Three Plus Flutes for three soprano with opt. 4th/ob. with alto and bass. An opening with an active top voice giving over to the lower voices doing the same. Then in block harmonic movement the pieces moves along with subtle harmonic shifts. The middle section continues in much the same fashion with dynamic shifts. The next area is the same fashion only this time with the lower voices carrying the activity and the upper voice in more solemn movement. The final section is more active with the top voice using material from the introduction and slows to repose.

Three Plus Flutes for three soprano with opt. 4th/ob. with alto and bass & piccolo. An introduction using unrelated material leads the tune presented in voice two, supported by harmonies in the lower voices, then an obbligato-like motion added by the upper voice. A modulation upward makes room for a duet in the upper lines, later joined by the lower voices in a contrapuntal fashion. The final section becomes more vigorous and imitative until a solid, declamatory ending.

Three Plus Flutes for three soprano with opt. 4th/ob. with alto and bass & piccolo. The piece gins in a spritely duet in the upper voices and reverses roles with the lower voices carrying the melody and duet lines. All four voices now join in a smooth, serene fashion until it gains dynamic and harmonic strength. A modulation upward with the tune in voice two, and an obbligato-like movement in part one, while the lower parts underpin with a simplistic, though active line. In the last section the parts become more active and excitement abounds until a final flourish establishes the end.
