This cornet solo was written for Peggy Thomas, principal cornet of the Chicago Staff Band of the Salvation Army. It is tightly constructed and opens with material based on bare fourths & fifths, the soloist almost "arguing" with the band in places. A brief quote from the Salvationist tune "Joy Because of You" fails to appease the band but eventually a cadenza quietens the mood before the soloist introduces "If You Want Joy" and at last the band succumbs, restating "Joy Because of You". Th soloist takes this up and has finally won his argument, turning the opening mood of agression into one of joy.

Duration 8.56
