“Abide with Me” / “Bleib bei mir, Herr! Der Abend bricht herein” is arranged by Chris Woods for eurobrass to perform in surround-sound as an encore at the end of concerts.
Canzon per sonar noni toni à27 is arranged for 27 brass players in 6 choirs. It was written for the 40th anniversary alumni tour of eurobrass in 2018. Each of the 6 choirs has 4 parts and there is one tuba for every two choirs.
This arrangement of the tune “Old Hundredth” musically illustrates the connection between our worship here on earth and the continuous worship going on in heaven. In addition to Old Hundredth, there are snippets of two other classic worship hymns, “O Worship the King” and “Praise My Soul, the King of Heaven,” sung antiphonally by the “saints” (trombones) and the “angels” (trumpets) respectively. A collage of all the phrases of the tune played simultaneously is followed by a final boisterous statement inspired by the vision of heavenly worship. This is the version performed by eurobrass. See also the original Dominion Brass version (14-part with percussion) and the version for Brass Quintet.

Das “Intermezzo Sinfonico” aus dem italienischen Oper Cavalleria Rusticana von Pietro Mascagni hat mich persönlich durch meine einsamsten Momente der Pandemie geführt, als es keine Konzerte gab und Gemeinschaft mit anderen Musikern war nur digital möglich. Als ich mit diesem Stück arbeitete, kehrte wieder Ruhe ein und ich spürte, wie wieder Hoffnung aufbrach. Das Intermezzo wurde in 2022 von eurobrass aufgeführt.
This composition is based on a theme by Marty McCall – a chant which says “Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world.” It was written for Eurobrass and performed on the 2012 tour of Germany. It begins quietly with the low brass and goes through several variations, concluding with the tune EASTER HYMN and a brilliant coda.
This arrangement of Jack Hayford’s “Majesty” was recorded in 1996, but it has been enjoyed by eurobrass fans for decades.
This setting was written for the Dominion Brass on the first anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks. After the brass introduction, the congregation sings 4 verses, building to a grand climax in praise of the God who is “Our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home.”
Prayer of Ukraine was arranged for the 2022 eurobrass tour. I first heard this song performed by Roger McMurrin and the Kyiv Symphony Chorus. This is considered the national spiritual song of Ukraine and was written in the 19th century. My arrangement is done as a prayer for peace and a tribute to the people of Ukraine.
