This is a meditative arrangement for organ of four Asian hymns from the New Century Hymnal: #72 TOKYO, #33 TŌA-SĪA, #333 SHENG EN, and #470 LE P'ING. The arrangement is perfect as a prelude or quiet meditation selection.

This is a meditation on the hymn "Be Thou My Vision". It is what most every church musician is looking for- sight readable and versatile! Dorian mode, 4/4 time changing to 3/4, contemplative in style.

Calixa Lavallée was a 19th Century Canadian composer best known for his stirring national anthem, O Canada. Meditation is a glorious lyrical solo in the romantic style, composed for the famous cornet virtuoso, Matthew Arbuckle and is about 4 minutes in length for advanced peformers.

This lovely arrangement for solo Cornet and Brass Ensemble by Angus Armstrong is dedicated to Karen Donnelly, veteran principal Trumpeter with the National Arts Centre Orchestra.

Instrumentation is for: Solo Cornet in B-flat, 2 Trumpets in B-flat, 2 Horns, 3 Trombones, Euphonium/Bass Trombone and Tuba.

The short performance example is a beautiful performance from Karen Donnelly as cornet soloist with the Capital Brass Ensemble.

Written for and first performed at the composer's great-grandmother's funeral, Samuel Labrecque's Méditation funèbre (Funeral Meditation) is a pensive short piece for organ where the true challenge is to give each voice its own character. Perfect as a short interlude or postlude for a funeral service.
