Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory is part of a growing collection of Americana Miniatures, short, mostly instrumental arrangements of characteristically American folk music. This arrangement is set for four trombones, or three trombones and tuba, but is also suitable for any combination of four low brass instruments in ‘C’. The music is instantly recognizable and appealing to broad audiences and playable by musicians of moderate skill.

Reflections on MATERNA
For Brass Quintet
A Prayer of Beauty is a re-imagining of “America, the Beautiful” written for professional, college, or advanced high school brass quartet. Independent lines, mixed meters, and adventurous harmonies will challenge musicians. But the familiar melody, rich colors, and glowing resolutions provide a delectable reward for the effort. The pathos, introspection, and hope found in the music will also leave listeners feeling enriched for the experience.
The music’s message is timely and urgent and works well for programming as commentary on current events but is also sufficiently broad and deep to complement varied concert themes. It has sufficient artistic merit to hold its own with other art music while still holding wide audience appeal.
