My Anchor Holds
$8.00
A brass quartet that begins with delightful counterpoint and then breaks into the tune in the trombone with a horn counterline which in turn is punctuated with the trumpet lines. The middle section opens with the horn offset by the other voices and then the melodic material is passed around among all voices. The final section becomes even more active and ends with a solid resolve. (Opt parts Trp for horn and Bar. TC for trombone.)

What A Friend
$9.00Scored for Saxophone quartet (A-A-T-B) with opt. Soprano for first Alto. The introduction starts with the First Alto playing a melodic motif, ever rising to a climatic point and then settling down to the theme- first presented in the First and Tenor parts weaving in and out producing a flowing texture, then joined by the Second Alto and eventually the Baritone. The chorus section of the hymn is a constant weaving of the four parts both harmonically and rhythmically. The next section becomes more active rhythmically adding tension until it settles down into a sweet aura of sound with gentle nudges of harmonic alteration. The final measures give an atmosphere of rest and solace.
