Songs Of Faith and Hope

The effect of a parade coming and going… using: Jesus Loves The Little Children; Onward Christian Soldiers; I’ve Got the Joy, Joy, Joy

This flute solo begins with the piano playing a gentle motif of the theme and then joined in with the solo line playing the theme in a straight forward fashion. The theme is now stated in a modified manner while the soloist exudes a moving obbligato line which adds more excitement to the piece. The piece concludes with the latter section of the first section and then settles into a solemn repose.

This flute solo is highly reflective in nature and incorparates the titles of :At The Cross”; “There’s Room At The Cross For Me”; “Beneath The Cross Of Jesus”. The piece is gentle and offers the opportunity far a great deal of expression. While there is embellishment of the lines they are done with taste.

This piece would serve well as a meditation. Beginning with a quiet Celtic lilt, the center section is stronger and bolder. After several bell effects, the piece returns to the mood of the beginning.

This solo with piano begins with a bold march statement with an elongated rhythm of the melody. The middle section is more expressive while the final section imitates the beginning, with a solid statement of faith.
