bass, then continues with a return of the original theme.

Laudation
Brenda Austin.
This exciting original shows that music that is not overly difficult can still
be moving and meaningful. Rhythmically challenging in some areas,
with smoothed-out rhythms in others, there is enough repetition to make

driving tempo, this work is suitable for almost any venue: school, concert,
church, or festival.

arr. Ron Mallory.

popular first by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell and later by Diana Ross.

driving malleted bass line. The message has never been more relevant:
there "ain't no mountain high enough" to keep strong spirits from making
their way through and helping others through tough times.

Carillon Celebration
Chris Yiu.
This original work emulates the sound of a carillon pealing its joyful
sounds. The lyrical melody is supported by a syncopated bass line,
which then picks up the melody while the treble bells mart lift. An
expressive middle section features LV passages with bells and chimes
ringing the melody in octaves for a nice change in texture. The piece
is nicely developed and returns to the original energy with syncopated
accompaniment, a key change, and additional optional two-octave
handchimes (opt. D2-C3) supporting it all. This is an amazing piece
suitable for worship, concert, or any celebratory occasion.
