New York City-based composer Paul Richards works with diverse musical genres, and this is reflected in Medium Funk Prelude, a brief dance in which a small group of figures are transformed and tossed about in the ensemble. Its title was in fact inspired by tempo markings in a jazz fake book. An unconventional yet challenging and exciting work for the advanced high school or university ensemble.

Traditional form meets modern melody: Raaf Hekkema's 'Suite' is based on the classical form of Bach's French dance suite with Prelude, Allemande, Courante, Saraband, Minuet, and Gigue. Hekkema gives each movement its own modern character: The Prelude is based on a free melody, like the tradition librement opening of a French suite for lute from the 17th century. In the Allemande, an improvisatory melody develops over an ostinato bass whereas the Courante is a fast, softly swinging movement. The Saraband with multiphonic chords resembles a thoughtful etude, and the Minuet plays with the complexity of three long musical eras. The final dance, the Gigue, turns out to be really 'funky'.

Nun danket all ist mit seinem gemassigten Schwierigkeitsgrad gleichermassen fur das Konzert und fur den liturgischen Einsatz geeignet. Das Rock-Prelude und die Toccata in 'Funk', als erster und letzter Satz, sind typische Eingangs- bzw. Auszugssatze, mit denen ein feierlicher Rahmen gesetzt werden kann. Kontrastierend und eher meditativ in ihrer Grundstimmung verhalten sich der 2. Satz mit typischem Walking-Bass und Blues-Elementen sowie der 4. Satz, im typischen Groove des Jazz-Waltz auf einem Orgelpunkt uber g.
