Composed two years ago, in the middle of covid, “13” is now available for purchase through J.W. Pepper. 

Based on Psalm 13, this text seemed to perfectly capture the feelings of anxiety, loneliness, and hopelessness that we were collectively experiencing. The psalm does end expressing hope, almost defiantly. I sought to weave all of these complicated feelings into a cohesive musical whole.

The piano and flute parts are more demanding than the choral parts, so it is accessible to a wide range of choirs. You…

I'm excited to be putting together a commission consortium for a new SATB and piano anthem for Easter. Day of Wonder, Day of Gladness will be a perfect opener/call to worship/processional for Resurrection Sunday. While 4-part, much of the choral writing will be 2-part and even unison, so it will be easier to learn and put together. Choirs of all sizes will be able to perform this new work successfully! 

Only $75 to join. Click here for more info and to join the consortium! Thanks! 

For a limited time, buy the sheet music PDF for only $10, and print however many you need for your ensemble! Click here for more info and to claim this offer!  (through my BuyMeACoffee page)

I'm excited to introduce Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus and Gentle Mary Laid Her Child to you! Both were written with church choirs in mind in regards to technique, but both also allow for a broad range of expression for school and university choirs. 

Follow the links to preview both of them, sheet music is available through J.W. Pepper.

Thanks! 

I was thrilled and honored to be sent this link by Rev. Mark Green, Minister of Music at First Baptist Church of Gainesville, GA. 

I can't explain the feeling of hearing a piece performed so well by musicians hundreds of miles away, when it started as pencil scribbles in my office...well, it's exciting, humbling, energizing...so many things!

Thank you, Rev. Green and FBC Gainesville!! 

I'm pleased to announce a consortium for new music! If you're unfamiliar with a consortium in the context of commissioning new music, it basically is a way of sharing a commission with other ensembles and performers. This benefits the musicians, as they don't have to carry the commission fee alone, and it benefits the composer, because he/she gets more performances! It's really a win-win. 

This consortium is for Incarnation, which will be for SATB choir and concert band. It will be a sacred Christmas work…

Composed last year, for Dr. Greg Zielke and the Tabor College Concert Choir. "13" is a musical setting/meditation on the text of Psalm 13. 

The choir produced this video, written and directed by Tabor alum Austin Calam. The video also features pianist Jennifer Epp and flutist Sarah Teichler. 

Now available for SATB and piano, Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven published by Chorister's Guild! And ideal anthem for Christ the King Sunday, but can work any time of year.

After a brief covid delay, Chorister's Guild will be releasing my anthem Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven sometime in April 2021! 

For SATB and piano, I gave this familiar hymn text a joyous, rhythmic setting in a 10/8 meter. It is very lively, and would work well as a Call to Worship. 

I'll be sure to make a more formal announcement once the piece is released, so stay tuned! 

Special thanks to Katie Houts at CG, who made this possible and gave me some great edit suggestions, and to Russell Almand who…
