Let Us Write One For You!

(We BELIEVE in junior bands!)Jesus Loves Me - This is a set of easy variations progressively growing more difficult. Approx. 2:00 This was written for Ken Davis' San Diego Philharmonic Junior Band.
Strong Promise! - This is a March written on Jesus Loves Me! and Every Promise In The Book Is Mine! The tunes are even heard in counterpoint to each other! Approx. 1:20, comes with optional 5th Bb part (cornet or trombone). Moderately difficult, featuring some "grown-up" sonorities. Commissioned by The Salvation Army Eastern Michigan Division. Play the little rascal!
Teach Me How To Love Thee - This is a tender treatment of this old favorite Sunday School chorus. Not too challenging, but needing a fairly strong 3rd part. Approx. 1:50
