I would love to do this with my cello player myself, violin and an accompanist.

From a longtime follower and user of your arrangements. Thanks, Eva Hooper

I was wondering if there is a written flute part? We have a wonderful harpist who loves to perform.
Thank you for sharing your talent and impacting so many us with your amazing music.
Sincerely,
Fiona Phillips

Thank you for your lovely message – I hope that Sally recovers well from her stroke.
The Nottingham stake choir are loving the music and looking forward to sharing it with those who attend.

Johnathan, normally Sally would love to send a note but she’s steadily recovering from a stroke (https://defordmusic.com/a-new-christmas-carol-and-an-unexpected-helicopter-ride/) and temporarily less able to say everything she’d like. Perhaps you could use her comments on the stand-alone page for the Jesus the Very Thought of Thee finale at https://defordmusic.com/song-list/jesus-the-very-thought-of-thee/.

Good luck on your performance on Sunday.

Sincerely,
Dennis & Sally DeFord

Thank you for providing such wonderful inspirational music.
If you could send a message to our choir that I could share with them ahead of the performance next Sunday that would be most appreciated.

As a fellow composer/arranger, what a fantastic setting and poetic choice!
