November 2, 2010
Added two SATB arrangements, both a little majestic! See “Hold to the
Rod” and “High on the Mountain Top”.
September 27, 2009
Added an SATB arrangement of "The First Noel."
February 15, 2009
Added an SATB arrangement of "Does the Journey
Seem Long?."
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:
·
an original SATB song
entitled Feed My Sheep (great for missionary
work!)
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."

Songbook and the LDS Choirbook). Can be sung
a capella or with the piano or organ playing the
vocal parts. Good for Easter programs!

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

New?" mailing list.
October 7, 1998

Children's Songbook. Nice as part of a Christmas program; should be
