March 10, 2009: A couple of odds and ends this time:

--An Angel To Watch Over Me, arranged for Men's voices--although the arrangement will also work for any solo voice. A demo recording with vocals by James Loynes is available, as well as an accompaniment track.

--He Sent His Son has a new obbligato part for two C instruments, added for the YW broadcast at the end of the month. There's also a new demo recording with vocals by Denise Pearce, along with an accompaniment track.

February 4, 2009: New this time is a song titled "A Believer's Prayer," written to support the 2009 Youth Theme: "...be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity." (1 Timothy 4:12) It's voiced for solo or unison, with optional harmony for equal voices. There's a demo recording with vocals by Jessica Nielsen Ebersohl (a beautiful young woman whose voice I first heard while she was a missionary in my area), and also a piano accompaniment track.

Also new is a lovely recording of "If the Savior Stood Beside Me" performed by Allyse Smith Taylor and Marvin Goldstein. I think you'll love Allyse's beautiful voice and Marvin's superb interpretation--I did!

December 16, 2008: It's been a snowy couple of weeks, and though snow is certainly very Christmassy, it tends to keep me home by the fire (usually with hot cocoa to warm up the inside too) not getting much accomplished. So I spent these particular snowy days concocting this arrangement of "Once In Royal David's City" for intermediate solo piano. It's a bit late to be useful for performance, but you pianists can still play it for fun.

There are also several new recordings for your Yuletide enjoyment:

"Beautiful Savior," performed by Heather Prusse;
"Baby In a Manger," performed by newcomer Denise Pearce; and
"Born Is the Light Of the World" and "Love Knows No Borders" performed by the Sydney Chamber Choir

I've also made available some new MP3 playlists for those of you who like to listen radio-style. You'll find links to them on various pages throughout the site, as well as on the new "MP3 Playlists" page.

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas season!

Addendum: Since this update, I've also added two new recordings (in Spanish) by singer Arnaldo Heresmann of Viña del Mar, Chile--"O Ven, O Ven Emanuel" and "Escribe Tu Nombre En Mi."
