September 1, 2007
Added an SATB arrangement
entitled "Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me (Medley),"
which is a medley of the hymn in the title and "Jesus, Lover of My Soul."
Also added an SSA arrangement of "O My Father." October 14, 2006
Added an SATB arrangement of "Choose the Right"
and a moving solo piece entitled "Am I Ready?" July 21, 2006
Added lots:
Now it's time to rest (it's after midnight!) June 23, 2005
Added an SAB original song about Joseph Smith entitled "If
Any of You Lack Wisdom" (this is great for youth choirs!). Also added
an original SATB Christmas number, "Of Humble Birth,"
that uses the chorus of "Angels We Have Heard on High." May 29, 2004
Added a TTBB (a capella) arrangement of "Nearer, My
God, to Thee." April 21, 2004
Added an SATB arrangement of "Do What is Right."
Also added two solo songs for which I did the music for someone else's lyrics:
"He Has Set Me Free" and "The
Master's Canvas/My Relief Society." Also significantly updated "The
Son Will Come" and "Silent Night Medley"; discard
old copies of these if you have them and get these new ones.
January 10, 2003
Added an SATB arrangement of "Love at Home."
Hopefully the next addition will come sooner than this last one!
December 12, 2001
Added two TTBB (men's) a capella arrangments: a traditional-sounding
"Lead, Kindly Light" and a novel version of
"Master, the Tempest is Raging," with original
music for verses 1 and 2 and familiar music for verse 3 and the chorus.
I always thought verses 1 and 2 from the hymnbook didn't fit the music
very well; I think the new music brings out the meaning of those verses
better.
Also, various changes have been made to the website to comply with
copyright restrictions; I had previously misinterpreted these restrictions.
Three songs were removed but can still be sent via email--the web page
descriptions for these songs describe this simple process. Three
other songs were removed completely but may be re-posted; I am awaiting
permission from the copyright owners to distribute them. Word of
advice: In almost every case, copyright laws are more strict than
you think.
Finally, we're moving! I am changing jobs and we are moving to
Provo, UT. So perhaps no new song additions for some time while we
adjust to a new job and a new home. How exciting!
August 31, 2001
Added an SATB arrangement of "Silent Night,"
hopefully in plenty of time for Christmas. Also added "Joseph
Smith's First Prayer" as a violin or flute solo with piano accompaniment.
The piano part can be played alone as a piano solo too! Also added
an SATB a capella version of "Come Thou Fount,"
which was previously available in TTBB only. The SATB arrangement
can be sung with the piano or organ playing the vocal parts--this can be
done with all SATB a capella arrangements on this site. Better to
have the piano play along than to crash and burn without it. They really
do sound nice with the piano.
June 8, 2001
Added two vocal solos: "I Think When I Read That
Sweet Story" from the children's songbook and "Oil
for Your Lamp," an original song (includes optional violin or flute
accompaniment) about the need to prepare for the Second Coming. Also
added a flute or violin duet of "O My Father"
which also can be sung as a tenor/alto duet if you write in the words.
March 21, 2001
Four new things! 1) An exciting SATB arrangement of "Praise
to the Man," 2) An easy-to-learn SAB arrangement of "Love
One Another," 3) A TTBB a capella arrangement of "Come
Thou Fount," and 4) an optional piano part to the TTBB arrangement
of "Away in a Manger."
November 10, 2000
Added an SATB arrangement of the familiar hymn, "Did
You Think to Pray." Also added an arrangement of Janice Kapp
Perry's "We'll Bring the World His Truth" for
parents and children to sing. This arrangement includes additional
lyrics and a counterpoint part for the chorus. Also added a duet
version of the original song, "I Know My Savior
Lives," good for Christmas or Easter or any program about the Savior
(this song used to be entitled "I Saw His Face").
July 17, 2000
Added an SATB arrangement of the familiar patriotic hymn, "America
the Beautiful." Also added some information and resources for
a neat ward or youth service project you may want to try, a
Teacher
Appreciation Night. Includes a poem and some original songs about
teaching and the impact of good teachers.
April 6, 2000
Added the organ part for the piano/organ duet, "A
Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief."
January 14, 2000
Added three new arrangements: 1) "Your
Place in the World," an alto/high soprano solo with piano and optional
SSA accompaniment; this song is about serving others (originally written
by my mother-in-law for a Relief Society visiting teachers' conference),
2) "Away in a Manger," the hymnbook version,
for a TTBB (men's) quartet or choir a capella, and 3) "Oh,
Holy Words," an SATB a capella medley of two or three hymns about prophets
and revelation. What else is new? Alyssa Petrie was born on
November 30, 1999 and is just about sleeping through the night already!
August 27, 1999
Added an SATB arrangement of the LDS hymn, "Oh,
What Songs of the Heart."

With Me; 'Tis Eventide," from the LDS hymnbook.

Savior" (found in the LDS Children's Songbook and the LDS Choirbook).
Can be sung a capella or with the piano or organ playing the vocal parts.
Good for Easter programs!
December 30, 1998
Added an instrumental (flute or violin and piano) arrangement of "A
Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief." Also added an original vocal solo,
"I Saw His Face," a song portraying three experiences
of individuals from the Bible with the Savior.
November 25, 1998
Added an SSA arrangement of the LDS Sacrament hymn, "In
Humility, Our Savior."
October 28, 1998

a song expressing the need for a savior. Appropriate for Christmas,
Easter, or general Sacrament Meeting use. Also posted notices that
I am creating a "What's New?" mailing list.
October 7, 1998

a Christmas song from the LDS Children's Songbook. Nice as part of
