This substantial collection of five- or six-page trumpet tunes opens up some great new possibilities in this genre. Creatively written so that although the hymn tune is in there (thus the word quoting in the title) it is often not what the trumpet voice is playing. Fun and useful throughout the church year. Contents: A Tudor Trumpet An Easter Trumpet Palm Sunday Trumpet Tune The Holy Trumpet The King's Trumpet Zion's Tuba

A majestic fanfare gives way to the melody played on the solo Great. A flowing interlude follows in a minor key on the Swell strings building to a restatement of the opening material a full maestoso setting of the melody with big crashing chords and again the fanfare material to close the voluntary. Duration 4:00

Jesus Shall Reign

Eucharistic Acclamations on Diademata

Fanfare Introit and Procession for the Dedication of a Church

After a short preamble the soaring original melody is passed back and forth between the women's and men's voices I am the resurrection and the life. The middle contrasting section has the voices singing homophonically and then the alternating material returns. A coda reminiscent of the preamble contains the title text. An easy effective anthem which is useful at several points in the liturgical year. Duration: 4:30

Psalm 139

This flowing SATB piece for Pentecost has a simple but effective piano part and the choral writing is lyrical and approachable with moderate tessitura. The first of four stanzas is marked as a solo. Stanza three has contrasting music. A nice contrast to the usual bombast of Pentecost this piece is prayerful and lovely. Duration 3:00

Up Through Endless Ranks of Angels

Set in 6/8 with a sparkling organ accompaniment the hymn tune MARION appears in a dance-like sometimes ornamented fashion. Straightforward and exuberant this anthem is easy to sing yet sounds more difficult. Duration: 3:00

This is the kind of piece that might sound more difficult than it is. Michael Trotta employs an economy of choral writing: The SATB parts are sometimes unison move often by steps are repeated in the outer sections and have only occasional divisi in the treble voices. The text is an innovative combination of Old and New Testament passages put in a question-and-answer format with the question sung in a subdued matter and the answer intensifying in range complexity and volume. The piano and flute parts flow more quickly than the voices—save for a short contrasting middle section—and provide an underlying momentum to this expressive work. Duration: 4:30
