This saxophone quartet is portrayed in a crisp and cheerful manner. The theme is passed around among the various parts and gains excitement as it passes through several keys. Surely a delight as a special number in any venue. (S/A-A-T-B)
An accompanied flute solo which begins with a piano introduction and then presents a modified melody with an extended cadence in the piano. A modulation occurs where the solo line presents a variation of the original theme to a higher register giving a sense of intensity and then ends with a solemn motive.
This quartet is in a solemn legato style throughout featuring melodic materials in each of the four parts. It is graced with gently moving accompaniment lines that further enhances the reflective spirit which is so evident in this hymn. It peaks in different portions of the composition and then reflects itself in a quiet repose to end.
A 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.
