Pilgrim Medley
A brass sextet with opt. parts for flugelhorn and BHTC. The beginning introduces stacked motives building to full chords. Following is a rendition of “When I Can Read My Title Clear” with melody broken down into fragments passed around to the various instruments. After key changes the quintet presents “I Am Bound For The Promised Land” in much the same fabric of the earlier section. After a brief transition in a new key we find “Just Over In The Glory Land” in a more flowing style than the earlier tunes. The Coda section becomes my rhythmically active where it ends on a solid chord .

Power Medley
This brass sextet is a medley including I Sing The Mighty Power Of God; All Hail The Power; Power In The Blood; and, A Mighty Fortress. It begins with a full ensemble fanfare in a regal fashion breaking into the first theme. It continues in this fashion until a stately rendition of A Mighty Fortress with an answer in a smoothly, reflective style. It ends in an ambitious fanfare much the way it begins.

Jonah
A brass sextet scored for two trumpets, horn, trombone, baritone and tuba (and opt. trp for horn). The style is a takeoff of traditional naval tunes. The first section presents the tune in a jovial manner with interludes by the upper brass and continues with motives passed around the various voices. A modulation takes place with thematic material in the lower brass. Now, little snippets of patterns passed around until another modulation leading to material like the beginning. Then a playful exchange of lines leading up to a final kicker.

Alleluia!
Scored for various mallet instruments as well as general percussion. The piece begins with tutti percusion overlayed with vocal narrations giving a dramatic effect. The piece then explodes with a mallet ostinato and then joined with tutti mallets on the theme. Next, after a ritardando, the mallets present a calm thematic rendition supported by gentle effects of the other percussion. It builds to a strong climax and the ostinato returns with the theme to follow. The final section uses imitative devices with the general percussion becoming more active. Until it all leads up to a stirring conclusion.
