This second volume of Hymn Fanfares for brass, organ and percussion continues the festive mood presented in the first volume. In keeping with other collections in the Fanfares series, each piece in it can stand alone in concert or in a service, or serve as the introduction to the congregational hymn. This collection includes: Fanfare on Azmon • Fanfare on Ein Feste Burg • Fanfare on Lyons • Fanfare on Madrid • Fanfare on Melita. Brass instrumentation is for two trumpets and two trombones (opt. fr. horn subs for trombone 1). The book includes a CD with instrumental parts so organists can practice or perform on their own.

Church trombone or cello soloists will find a wealth of usable material in these arrangements of classic hymns, praise and worship choruses, and gospel songs. The book contains keyboard accompaniments plus solo and duet lines in separate, detachable inserts. Those performing solos will play the top line in its entirety. For duet use, a second player can perform the bottom line. All of the upper parts from Volume 15 will work with the bottom parts from Volumes 11-15 of the Instrumental Solotrax Series, thereby allowing duets of virtually any two instruments.

This is the second incarnation of a work I first composed in 1994 for symphonic wind ensemble. The earlier version was intended to be the summation of three-part suite, each part being named for a different national park in the Western United States. This orchestral version, commissioned in 1999 by the Utah Symphony and dedicated to the memory of Aaron Copland, is more than a re-scoring of the earlier piece; it is a re-thinking of all its elements. Zion is a place with unrivaled natural grandeur, being a sort of huge box canyon in which the traveler is constantly overwhelmed by towering rock walls on every side of him -- but it is also a place with a human history, having been inhabited by several tribes of native Americans before the arrival of the Mormon settlers in the mid-19th century. By the time the Mormons reached Utah, they had been driven all the way from New York State through Ohio and, with tragic losses, through Missouri. They saw Utah in general as a place nobody wanted, but they were nonetheless determined to keep it to themselves. Although Zion Canyon was never a Mormon Stronghold, the people who reached it and claimed it (and gave it its present name) had been through extreme trials. It is the religious fervor of these persecuted people that I was able to draw upon in creating Zion as a piece of music. There are two quoted hymns in the work: Zion's Walls (which Aaron Copland adapted to his own purposes in both his Old American Songs and the opera The Tender Land) and Zion's Security, which I found in the same volume in which Copland found Zion's Walls -- that inexhaustible storehouse of 19th-century hymnody called The Sacred Harp. My work opens with a three-verse setting of Zion's Security, a stern tune in F-sharp minor which is full of resolve. (The words of this hymn are resolute and strong, rallying the faithful to be firm, and describing the city of our God they hope to establish). This melody alternates with a fanfare tune, whose origins will be revealed in later music, until the second half of the piece begins: a driving rhythmic ostinato based on a 3/4-4/4 alternating meter scheme. This pauses at its height to restate Zion's Security one more time, in a rather obscure setting surrounded by freely shifting patterns in the flutes, clarinets, and percussion -- until the sun warms the ground sufficiently for the second hymn to appear. Zion's Walls is set in 7/8, unlike Copland's 9/8-6/8 meters (the original is quite strange, and doesn't really fit any constant meter), and is introduced by a warm horn solo. The two hymns vie for attention from here to the end of the piece, with the glowingly optimistic Zion's Walls finally achieving prominence. The work ends with a sense of triumph.
