O Salutaris Hostia is one of Eriks Ešenvalds' most popular pieces. Originally written for female voices, the composer later created a version for full choir on which this arrangement is based. It has a gentle meditation with the two soloists drifting across the soft band accompaniment, alternately echoing and imitating each other or joining together in thirds. The effect is quietly ecstatic, a brief moment of adoration and wonderment. This arrangement can be played with either two cornets or two euphoniums as soloists as the accompaniment works just as effectively with either.

Scored for standard brass quintet with optional drums, the relaxed intro of this contemporary original, I Gotta Funk, Buddy, gives way to a lively funk theme that everyone will love. Trumpets start the piece with Harmon mutes, and first trumpet is given the chance to stretch out on a solo midway through the piece. If a drummer is used, an open solo of 3--7 bars can also be featured.
