Holy, Holy, Holy

This sextet takes a different twist on what is typically a reverent piece and makes it majestic. From the tradition 4-4 meter it is presented in 6-8 giving it a lilt. The trumpets weave in and out with the melodic material while the other brass parts punctuate the lines. The second section is much in a fugal structure and then swaps the thematic between the upper and lower parts. The contrapuntal activity increases as the tension increases ending with a bold proclamation.
