Majestic Flute Trios, Vol. 1

This flute trio with piano accompaniment is presented in a solid, determined manner. It makes a definitive statement in the “Power in the Blood” of Christ. The middle section changes meter while maintaining the character of the opening.

This trio for Easter renders a simple and gentle movement that is continually flowing with tontrapuntal 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.

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.

An unaccompanied saxophone trio for three altos (and optional tenor sax) part. The introduction is based on a exuberant motive that leads into the first section which is a straight-forward melody with straight-forward harmonic support. This leads into the next section which gravitates to a different meter as well as key. The parts interplay giving a sense of constant movement. Another modulation takes place and the mood is one of victory and solidification. This continues until a triumphant motive of celebration and victory.
