Kjos is pleased to present this beautiful cantata from best-selling composer Bradley Ellingboe! In this new three-movement work, Ellingboe masterfully draws texts from Psalm 27 (I. Psalm 27), The Revelation to John (II. The Light), and Luke 2:14/Psalm 118:24 (III. This Is The Day!). Scored for SATB Choir and Organ, Revelations may also be performed with the optional accompaniment of Brass Quintet, Timpani & Organ. This composition would be a truly glorious addition to any All Saints or Lenten service! Includes: 2 trumpets, french horn, trombone, tuba, timpani, and organ accompaniment.

For 2 trumpets, horn in F, 2 trombones, tuba.

This Sonata features the trumpets and the trombones with the horn and tuba filling in harmonies representing a part of an organ. 2 b-flat trumpets and 2 e-flat trumpets are used to allow the brilliant lightness of the e-flat trumpet to float above the foundation set by the remainder of the ensemble. This is an example of idiomatic brass music that has been altered slightly in instrumentation to produce a new sonority. The figures found in this three section work are elegant and far more interesting than the standard trumpet/trombone ensemble pieces of this era.

The Death of Ase is a sombre death song that features the euphonium, horn and flugelhorn with the tuba and piccolo trumpet colouring at the octave.
