Three for 3 or 4 (or More)

For three like instruments, accompanied by piano, the piece is largely homophonic in nature. There are various phrases that are rhythmically altered for interest-active, yet sublime.

“I Know Whom I Have Believed” starts out in a manner of joyful confidence. The parts are in basic triadic harmony and then offer solo lines for the various parts. The piece concludes with a sense of strong confidence that the hymn portrays.

A saxophone trio with piano accompaniment that is gentle smoothly moving that carries a lyrical flavor throughout. On occasion there are brief alterations of the melody to add variety and movement. A good piece for tender moments.

This trio begins with a joyful piano introduction which leads into a three part harmonization of the instrumental parts. The second section is a lilting (waltz feeling) in block harmonization and then goes into a bell-tone rendition of the tune. A brief transition in a slower, expressive style comes to repose where it concludes in the joyful style that the piece began.
