This Is My Father’s World

This flute duet with piano accompaniment is presented in a solid, determined manner. It makes a definitive statement in the “Power in the Blood” of Christ. The middle section changes meter while maintaining the character of the opening.

This saxophone duet is presented in a rather simple two part fashion. Subsequent verses engage contrapuntal diversity of the melody line versus the harmony. A stirring rendition for any venue.

An accompanied clarinet duet which begins with a melodic motif and then presents the hymn tune in untision my the two parts. The chorus then breaks into a duet harmonization in a straight forward manner. The next section presents the first part in a melodically altered rendition with the second part answering in an obbligato like fashion. The middle section is a Q&A forma with the piano dropping out, followed by a piano solo section. A modulation now gives rise to the second part acting as a solo, followed by another moduation where the first takes over as a soloist. Then another modulation and then the two parts present the chorus in a straight duet section. Where it remains until the end- as a strong final ending.

This duet with piano uses some expressive, interactive cadenza work between the duet parts in the beginning and during the work. It is vigorous in nature otherwise and ends with a torrent of joy!
