As this fall season begins, I'm receiving a significant amount of correspondence from
those who are seeking to find new arrangements of music that allow them to join with one
or more people to create something of artistic beauty. Even this week nearly every email
I've received through this website asks for a new piece that allows them to make music
with others.
Your correspondence has reminded me of 2 things:
1. I need to continue to write chamber music for worship services and concerts that
give opportunity for experienced vocalists and instrumentalists to work together.
2. I also need to understand more fully that many musicians are seeking to inspire
people by joining with others to achieve this. Maybe now more than ever.
This is really one of our important mandates as Christians, don't you agree? Joining with
others to bring beauty into our world is something that strengthens our faith, while at the
same time utilizes the gifts that God has given to us.
Keep asking and continue to let me know what your needs are. I'll do my best to continue
to create pieces of varying genres, while sharing as many of these new works as possible
from this website.
CONTINUE TO COLLABORATE WITH ONE ANOTHER!
This world needs it.
