PUBLISHED WORKS (SELECTED)

THE POOR AND THE REFUGEE

SATB

Campbell's anthem is a powerful call to show God'south beloved for all, with opportunity to do expressive singing. God calls us to intendance for refugees, and it is in showing clemency and beloved that God is found in our midst.

JESUS KEEP ME Virtually THE CROSS

SATB, oboe, piano

This piece is a lilting setting of a familiar hymn by Fanny Crosby. The oboe represents the prayer, rise like incense to God. Cross-relations (gentle dissonances) are woven throughout to add poignancy to this setting.

GOD HEALS THE BROKENHEARTED

SATB, piano, clarinet

A beautiful SATB setting of Psalm 147, the through-composed slice carries the text with grace, agreement, and dignity. Advisable for any time of the year, this Psalm proclaims the arable power of the Lord.

THE FINAL HARVEST

SATB, piano, ii violins

This setting of the stewardship hymn "Come, Ye Thankful People, Come up" is given a fresh estimation in "The Final Harvest." A mournful opening gradually blossoms into an flare-up of thankfulness and praise. The terminal "alleluias" reinforce the blithesome themes of resurrection and salvation.

JESUS CHRIST IS RISEN TODAY

SATB, handbells, brass quintet, organ, timpani, bass drum, and congregation

A musical "crown" for EASTER HYMN, this concertato setting will brand Easter Dominicus m and thrilling.

ALL FOR CHRIST

SAB, piano

An expressive, intense anthem.

Come K LONG-EXPECTED JESUS

ii-function mixed, organ, tambourine, optional string quartet

This slice begins with a artistic introduction and followed by a statement of the melody in a more than traditional manner. The rhythmic aspects of the accompaniment make this a fun piece without a great deal of work for the choir.

O SAVIOR REND THE HEAVENS

two-office mixed, organ, handbells, optional cord quartet

A creative setting of this not bad hymn. Specially effective with the apply of the optional handbells.

DAKOTA SUMMER

flute quartet.

Dakota Summertime is a precious stone of Americana, charmingly portraying the landscape of a Midwestern summertime afternoon. The 9-minute work for mixed flute quartet evokes moods, feelings, and imagery of a hot summer day, also equally the musical depictions of a Dominicus prayer, a barn dance, and a silent cemetery.

Fair AND ELOQUENT FLOWERS

ii-office treble, piano, oboe

This is a reflective slice to consider for later in the Palm Sunday liturgy. The refrain presents the image of children laying flowers before the King; the verses reverberate on the vanity of life, merely likewise on the constancy of the Discussion. The music seems to strike a happy medium between recalling the joyful procession and anticipating the doleful crucifixion.

HUSH THE Bounding main WILD

SATB

This text belongs to a rich tradition of hymns that draw upon sea imagery to constitute the relationship between the laic and Christ (Hopper was known for his ministry building to sailors). In the composer'southward ain words: "In times filled with personal strife, global instability, and other struggles, we expect to Jesus Christ to 'hush the sea wild' and to guide u.s. safely to a peaceful shore." A lovely canticle, with subtle dissonances to create a lush harmony.

HODIE

SATB, ii trumpets, optional mitt drum

This dancing ballad is full of harmonic surprises that are hands mastered. Parts for trumpets are included in the choral edition, as is an optional mitt drum part effective for guiding singers through the meter changes.

WHEN TWILIGHT COMES

SATB, piano

A call for God'southward help in our daily living is elegantly set to DAPIT HAPON, written by i of the Philippines' most important composers. Transparent scoring lets the tranquility that comes from confidence in our heavenly Father shine through.

COME, Allow United states EAT

SATB

"Come Let U.s.a. Swallow" is a joyful invitation to dine at the banquet God has spread for united states of america. This energetic a cappella piece in vii/8 time might offer a bit of a challenge rhythmically, but after some rehearsal time it is attainable for any SATB choir. The lilting cadency and vigorous tempo set a festive mood every bit nosotros are chosen to the table for Eucharist.
