Angels we have Heard on High
I released a simple, new harmonization of “Angels we have Heard on High” for SATB quartet on The Old Father Christmas Caroler's Companion. This version is identicle except that it adds an alternation between the men and the women on verses 2 and 4, just… more »
Beautiful Savior (SATB)
Though the text of this Hymn is not specific to the Easter season, I really like to program it at that time. Really, it is appropriate for any service of the year; it would even work beautifully for Christmas. This arrangement is an expanded version of t… more »

He Shall Feed His Flock from Handel’s Messiah (acappella)
He Shall Feed His Flock is one of the lovely solos from Handel’s Messiah that is appropriate for Christmas, Easter or any sacred concert or service focusing on the Savior.There are two options given of the solo in the original oratorio, this arrangement is based on the one that starts off with an Alto soloist and then, in the second half, a Soprano soloist takes over. I’ve arranged it here for an SATB acappella quartet (though there is no reason a larger choir couldn’t use it):The arrangement still features the soprano and alto solos (or sections if you desire). I hope you enjoy it. more »

Unto Us a Child is Born
This version of Unto us a Child is Born! is performed ABA. The middle B section is more difficult and will require some experienced singers. This is based on an old chant-like tune, Puer Nobis Nascitur, from a collection published in 1582 called Piae Cantiones (from which we find find carols like In Dulci Jubilo). I have played with the rhythms, the words and the harmonization. more »
