Some Christmas, some Lenten/Easter, but most are general purpose.Some titles you may recognize: Hark The Voice Of Jesus Crying (4-Octaves), Angels We Have Heard On High (3-5 Octaves), Beethoven's Joyful, Joyful (swings using 3-5 Octaves), Wondrous Love (3-5 Octaves), Jesus Loves Me (3-5 Octaves).5-Part Fugue is a huge piece which incorporates "sniblets" of Lenten and Easter hymns in true fugue style. The 3-octave with SATB piece is an eerie combination of "Jesus Christ Is Present" and "Beautiful Savior." Minor to major key switches.
