Two Canzonas for 10-part Brass Ensemble and Organ (optional) are based on two well-known tunes: Handel's MACCABEUS, generally associated with the hymn, Thine Is the Glory, and LLANFAIR - a Welsh tune most often used for the well-known hymn, Jesus Christ Is Risen Today. Both are melodies with Easter related texts. Pethel's style is reminiscent of Gabrieli's canzonas but sprinkled with more modern harmonies. For 4 trumpets, 2 horns, 2 trombones and 2 tubas plus optional organ. -the publisher
