The 20 pieces in Bel Canto were originally vocal exercises but have been adapted for brass instruments in order to help develop a musical and melodic way of playing. The human voice should, as it were, stand for the goal that brass players wish to achieve with the help of these singing etudes. This publication comes with a play-along CD featuring complete performances together with piano accompaniments. A separate piano accompaniment book is also available.

From the mysterious to the glorious, Biery perfectly captures the wide-ranging moods of this text, set to the enduring tune EBENEZER. This hymn concertato was written for the Schola Cantorum of Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Indiana in observance of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. So, it's no surprise that the setting has considerable sweep and gravitas, with some fresh harmonic twists. A beautiful choir-only section spans stanzas three and four in major tonalities that nicely complement the staid minor of the rest of the hymn. The sixth and final stanza is unison with descant and concludes with a choir Alleluia and Amen. Stirring and majestic. Duration 4:00.
