Children’s Hymn (Jesus Loves Me)
Children’s Hymn begins with all metallic percussion sounds (Sus. Cym., Trgl., & Bells) and flutes. Other sections of the band are gradually added until all instruments are playing. The melody is passed around to various instruments and the chorus is played tutti. The work ends the way it began with all metallic percussion and flutes.

Take Time To Be Holy
The piece begins in a subdued fashion (in F). The theme is then presented by upper woodwinds while supported by contrasting brass accompaniments. The middle section is an episode based on the texture of the opening theme. The form is an overall ABA with a reflective coda.

Nothing But the Blood
Beginning with a fanfare motif (in Eb) the theme alternates between dynamic shifts as though a question and answer. The lower instruments then augment the melody, followed by imitation in the upper voices. The ending mirrors the fanfare of the beginning.
