Written as a fanfare-like concert opener, bells announce the choir in the age-old tradition of church bells, but with the added possibilities of handmade or found-object bells, as people gather in a spirit of festive celebration, worship and art. The choir can use triangles of varying sizes, bells, or anything which strikes metal-on-metal, the number and variety are limited only by imagination and balance.

This lively arrangement for TTBB chorus and piano is based on a sturdy American hymn tune with a text by Reginald Heber. A banjo inspired piano accompaniment provides sparks while the tune is presented first in unison, then in canon, next adorned with mirrored countermelodies, with the refrains growing in intensity following each verse, culminating in a dramatic, a cappella outburst. Duration: 2:15.

Commissioned for the 2010 Southern Division ACDA Men's Honor Choir, David Brunner's broad and majestic music paired with James Broughton's powerful words, combine to make the perfect piece for men's chorus.

Created from the texts of live interviews, here is music that explores the notion of family by a community coming to terms with the creation of a family in a society that has not, until now, legally accepted non traditional relationships.
