These variations are based on the choral Freu dich sehr, o meine Seele. Variation I, Maestoso, presents a solemn, canonic statement of the theme enveloped by dense, closely-knit harmonies. Variation II, Allegro, is clothed in polyphonic lines reminiscentof Bach's Orgelbuchlein chorales. Variation III, Vivace, is a playful bicinium with the cantus firmus featured in the soprano line, as the bass bounces along in a staccato duet. Variation IV, Adagio, displays rich chromatic harmonies which form a lush backdrop for the pedal solo. Variation V, Vivace, features the chorale in detached left hand notes while the right hand and pedal provide a playful accompaniment. In Variation VI, Andante, the melody vacillates between minor and major keys as syncopated left hand chords and pizzicato bass accompany the cantilena. In the concluding Variation VII, Presto, the left hand proclaims the theme in block chords as the right hand provides an exuberant garland of sixteenth notes while the pedal provides rhythmic drive with tympanic accents.

Of Things Hoped For begins with a modest arching phrase, supported by a descending pedal line. The ensuing meditation develops a new melismatic idea along with toccata elements, leading to a grand statement. A dance follows, based on the melisma, which stretches and flips the material. The little bass line from the opening re-asserts itself as a soprano tune, first in a quiet B-major episode, then triumphantly and in D major in the trumpet. Thomas was commissioned to write this work by Marilyn Biery in honor of James Biery's birthday in 2001; it was premiered by James in May, 2001, at the Cathedral of St. Paul in St. Paul, MN.

Thomas Trenney has composed a suite of six brief movements based on the hymn tune SURSUM CORDA filled with contrasting moods and fresh harmonic language. The first movement provides the opening statement of the tune and is followed by a lyrical Andantino cantabile, a lively Scherzetto, a light Quickstep dance, and a full-organ Toccata brevis. But that's not the end; the suite effectively concludes with a simple and reverent movement titled Benediction.
