Program NotesFantasia on American Hymns (1999-2000) for alto saxophone and piano was commissioned by Jay Pierson for Jim and Esther Steele.

The work is cast in the form of a free fantasia based on three American hymn tunes: "Land of Rest" (American folk melody; common text: I Come With Joy To Meet My Lord), "New Britain" (from Virginia Harmony, 1831; common text: Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound), and "Foundation" (American folk melody; common text: How Firm a Foundation). All three are pentatonic and similar in style. The hymns appear in a variety of guises throughout the work, often in combination with material derived from the others. --Carson Cooman
