In The Light Of His Grace

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. (Sub Tenor sax for 3rd Alto)

(accompanied)

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.

“I Know Whom I Have Believed” starts out in a manner of joyful confidence. The parts are in basic triadic harmony and then offer solo lines for the various parts. The piece concludes with a sense of strong confidence that the hymn portrays.

A woodwind trio for flute; unaccompanied. Like a stately march the introduction uses a motif gravitating through several harmonic changes giving way to a modified thematic presentation with all three parts being in active counterpoint,and the tune passed about all the parts. The tune then moves about in a hocket fashion keeping all parts busy. The final section is somewhat in keeping with the first section coming to a solid “Praise Him” conclusion.
