O Sacred Head, Now Wounded
$9.95
Four Plus Brass Series- for two Trumpets and two Trombones (with opt. Horn and Tuba for color). Without any introduction the piece begins in four-part harmony and in a deeply reflective expression. As is the original, there are many meter changes. The second section is carried exclusively in the trombones until it is taken over by muted trumpets until consummated with harmonic divergence. The final section is established by the trumpets with subtle underpinning by the trombones. With one final strong presentation of the tune the piece concludes in repose- as one might expect.

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.
