Amazing Grace
Moving and affective this solo begins unaccompanied and then later joined by the piano in a Celtic style. A second statement of the tune is further embellished and gains more complexity as it progresses. After a brief modulation the solo line becomes more plaintive- even though still embellished. The Coda is based on a brief motif where it ritards into a gentle repose.

The Palms
A great prelude, offertory, or postlude for Palm Sunday, this brass sextet arrangement of the famous song by Jean-Baptiste Faure is a two-stanza setting that moves the melody perfectly between instruments, adding counterpoint and a flowing accompaniment in the non-melody instruments. Everyone who knows this song will be mentally singing along as the brass (with optional percussion) lead in celebration of the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem.

America The Beautiful
This stirring arrangement of the Samuel Ward tune is perfect for any patriotic service or concert. A dramatic introduction gives way to a legato first stanza, followed by a more dramatic second stanza. A short interlude leads to the final stanza, which starts slower and legatissimo and concludes powerfully and marcato in the original tempo.

Stand Up, Stand Up For Jesus
A rousing trumpet trio arrangement of the gospel hymn with piano accompaniment. Stanza 1 is a straight-ahead setting, stanza 2 uses melodic variation, stanza 3 moves the melody to the piano while the trumpets play fanfare figures, and stanza 4 uses triple tonguing in the trumpets. A dramatic ending brings the arranging to a strong conclusion.
