Onward Christian Soldiers
$9.00
An accompanied brass quartet for two trumpets with opt. horn and BHTC with piano. The opening is a fanfare with resolve. The first rendition of the tune is passed between parts in a somewhat hocket fashion where it continues throughout. The second section is more chordal with the accompaniment more march and fanfare like. Then a brief transition in the piano only is joined by the brass in a cascading series of entrances. Then the brass join the piano in a Q/A transition leading into a choral presentation of the theme. After a motivic interplay of the brass the piece concludes in an augmented statement in the brass.

$7.00A flute quartet which begins with a Q/A format and then breaks into a chordal structure with some gentle modifications. This format continues until it moves into a modulation where the piece once again uses a Q/A design- keeping the piece on the move. This flowing movement continues until it modulates into a section that is grand and declamatory. After some unctuated accompaniment the piece makes a final declamation then lies into repose.

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.
