Nicaea (Introductions, Interludes, Modulations, Reharmonizations)
Holy, Holy, Holy! I was out of town on Trinity Sunday so I’m glad for another appropriate week to use it. Elizabeth’s Choice:Dan Miller’s arrangement pretty much slaps.

Duke Street (Reharmonizations, Introductions, Interludes)
Elizabeth’s Choices Catch-All – This arrangement has a great intro, interlude, and reharmonization.
