Based on Te Deum by Marc-Antoine Charpentier (1634-1704), Fanfare and Flourishes for a Festive Occasion was originally commissioned for the 1991 European Brass Band Championships held in Rotterdam, Holland.

Pure joy is at the center of Fanfare Brilliante. Both exuberant and reflective, this fanfare pays tribute to the simple joy of making music.

This brief, energetic festival or concert opener was commissioned by Wright Brass of the Air Force Band of Flight, WPAFB, Dayton, Ohio. It features all of the wonderful characteristics so familiar to those who enjoy the dexterity, flexibility, high energy, rhythmic contrast and drive of brass quintet music.

This scintillating music was composed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908). Procession of Nobles is an excerpt from his unsuccessful ballet Mlada, composed in 1892. This stately processional march is the only surviving excerpt from the ballet still remaining in the standard orchestral repertoire.

This setting of the hymns We Gather Together and Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus for brass quintet strives to maintain the original integrity and majesty of the hymns while frequently delving into a new and fresh accompaniment. They can be used effectively as a congregational accompaniment or stand alone as a solo brass quintet hymn of praise.
