Sacred Brass Quartets- Junior Collection

Score for four flutes the piece openings with a quasi round device and then establishes a more straight forward rendition of the tune. The final section becomes quite florid with intricately woven countrapuntal voicing.

A unaccompanied flute quartet that begins with an extensive introduction with moving lines in all four parts. The next section is carried in the fourth part with counter lines in the upper parts. The interest then shifts to the upper parts with counterlines in the lower voices. The last section is carried by the upper line but is shifted around the various voices giving much interest to the piece and a sense of constant movement

(2fl/ob, 2cl/a.sx, unacc)

Written for Flute quartet, this pieces creates a solemn presence by the way it interweaves the various parts together. It would work well for a meditation.

A quartet for 2 flutes and 2 clarinets with opt. parts for oboe, B. clar., bassoon and Alto sax. After a brief introduction the flutes carry the melodic material and then shifting the chorus to the clarinets. A modulation shifts the attention to the clarinet melody with punctuation remarks in the other instruments. Further transition moves to another modulation where thematic motifs are passed around in a fughetta fashion where it then becomes more choral in nature ending in a solemn statement.
