Alleluia for Chorus A  Cappella
SATB Chorus  (2:41)
I tried to capture the reverence and awe of the Resurrection
rather than the jubilation and joy it normally
inspires.

Ave Maria
SATB Chorus (2:55)
A full choral arrangement of the
Bach/Gounod  classic.

These  Holidays
A  cappella  TTBB Men’s Chorus (3:00)
Published by Yelton Rhodes Music, also  available  for SATB
An upbeat non-denominational holiday carol.
The Bird Song
Soprano (or tenor), flute and piano; also available for flute choir (3:20)
This is a humorous piece  where the singer (voicing the thoughts of the flutist) complains about  always having to be the bird. The flute part was inspired by some of the  "birdy excerpts" in the symphonic literature and isn't easy.
CoRTEX
Flute, trombone and percussion (1 player) 3:14
A fun piece that uses  non traditional sounds

Spirit

Bamboo flute and drums (2:54)
This very lively work can also work  with piccolo or clarinet. A drum track is available
.

Half  of Two Plus  Two
Bb  Clarinet, Marimba and Piano (2:15)
This is a very  exciting work. Too much so  to name it "Trio" which was the working title. In my thinking, half  of two plus two is  equal to three, but most people seem to  come  up with two. Maybe it's one of the sings that my brain works differently.

Let the Children Come to Jesus
Children's  chorus, SATB chorus, flute and piano (2:50)
This charming piece begins with a
simple, yet memorable melody in the children's choir followed by a nice  counter melody in the flute solo. Then the adult chorus omes in with a  black gospel feel and all three come together in the end. The words are  inspired by Mark 10:14



Miracles
(poem by Arna ontemps)
Soprano,  flute and  harp (2:40)

A beautiful song about Christian faith from an   African-American perspective






Holiday Kiss

SATB Chorus and Flute (3:00)
Also TTBB Chorus and Flute

A tongue in cheek non-denominational holiday song about using the season of giving as a legitimate  excuse for kissing.

TTBB Men’s Chorus and Piano  (3:00)
