Your music is the only thing I want played at my funeral service someday. Every Easter morning I get up and play at the rising of the sun and sing probably my favorite song to save the world from sin thank you so much.

I found music audio for some of the songs to help learn the alto parts, but not for all of the songs. Do you have any downloads you can pass along?
Your music is so beautiful and inspiring. Thank you!!

I’ve been asked to prepare an Easter musical devotional for our Durango, Colorado stake. I love your music, and have been going through it to find the right possibilities. I know we cannot do a complete cantata, and hope that is acceptable to you. Because our stake is geographically challenged, it is difficult to pull together big choir practices. (Many are one or even 2 hours away from the stake center.) Most wards in our area do not have ward choirs, so, often, we just find people who sing and try to get together when we can and assign out solos and small groups for some songs. We have never had a musical fireside for Easter, but I feel like we

I wondered if your scripts for speakers are available as well as the music.

Thank you so much for answering. I know you must be very busy, but it would be very appreciated!

Sincerely, Kathy Callister

Thank you for this wonderful arrangement. The spirit is so strong as we learn this music. I was hoping to find audio help in learning either by parts or a utube of the performance that we could use to perfect our presentation.

I remember find alto part on the web for the Messiah and was hoping to find help for alto and bass parts for this contata. We perform in a week so this is too short notice but wondered if there is a place on your website to help with parts that I am missing.
