Overture on a Hymn TuneJohnnie Vinson.
Overture on a Hymn Tune is based on "The Old
Ship of Zion," found in the early American Sacred
Harp songbook. A fast-slow-fast overture format is
used to give this wonderful melody an appealing
setting with plenty of variety and musicality. The
slow middle section is a rhapsodic treatment of
the main melody, while the two fast segments
offer appealing and upbeat settings sure to be
enjoyed by all. Skillfully scored to sound full with
inexperienced players.

4 ParticlesMichael Sweeney. This unusual work
portrays the transformation of matter from solid
to liquid and ultimately to gas. A single musical
theme transforms throughout, starting with a very
rigid and dense opening statement (solid). The
theme is then treated in a lyrical style (liquid),
and finally frantic and energetic as the melodic
particles transform into gas. Using unique scoring
techniques, a few aleatoric sections and dramatic
percussion effects, this descriptive work will stir
the imagination!
