Night of Nights
“Night of Nights” is my Christmas carol for 2022.
There’s a New Star Shining Tonight
As I thought about the individuals involved with that holy night, I wondered… for whom was that star shining? And for whom does it shine today?
Child in a Manger
Words by Sally DeFord; Music by Katherine Wright. This lullaby is my Christmas Card Carol for 2021.
Peace, Peace, Be Still
He who made the rising storm can bid its fury fail.
There Was No Room
Is there room in my heart, or is every chamber full?
Holy Is the Lord
The Lord is “the light which shineth in the darkness.”
My Heavenly Father Watches Over Me
Words by William C. Martin (1864-1914), adapted; Music by Sally DeFord
City of David
My Christmas Card Carol for 2019
Rock of Ages
For some reason, the 3/4 time always made me feel like the traditional music just didn’t give the words the weight they deserved. So this arrangement got the 4/4 treatment.
Will You Come to the Manger?
My 2018 Christmas card carol.
O Little Town of Bethlehem
A very simple SATB or Solo arrangement of the familiar hymn.
He Loves His Little Ones
A very simple song, about a very basic concept… and one of the more challenging things I’ve written.
With All My Heart
“O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength…”
Close as a Quiet Prayer
Heavenly Father is never far away from us, and He will hear us pray anytime, anywhere.
Take Time to Be Holy
Text written by William D. Longstaff in the 1800s; and set to an old Irish tune called “Slane.” For solo or SSAATB choir.
