Mary Lou, Sally hasn’t done an SATB arrangement–but she’s happy for you to add parts to the solo or trio version.

(I once asked if I could add a kazoo part, but she said emphatically NO.)

Hi there I was wondering if there is any chance you would have satb voicing to go with O Come, O Come Emmanuel? Our choir would like to sing it or could I add parts myself to what you already have written for solo or trio? I would appreciate any feed back. Thank you . I love your music and appreciate what you do.

In reply to Joyce Walnum. Joyce, I don't have an exact answer but recommend using the Search feature on the Song List page. You can search for TTBB or Tenor or Duet or "dudes with low voices". The Sheet Music pull down at the top of this page will take you to the Song List. Good luck!

Hi, Sally. Thank you for your music and for being so generous with it. I’m wondering if you have ever written a song using the melody “O Waly Waly”? It was made popular many years ago as the choral piece “The Water is Wide” and has been used as a setting for a variety of hymn texts including the text of “Amazing Grace.” I imagine that one of your accompaniments with a vocal or instrumental solo of that melody would be lovely.

In reply to Viki Clark. Hello there, Sally. First of all, your compositions are, to say the least, magnificent, and I have sung a good number of them in church to wide acclaim. My problem is I really want to sing "What I believe," and I can't figure out how to use the personal composer, can't even see the demo. Would you be able to transpose it yourself (In what little spare time you have)? I need "What I Believe" to be transposed one or two notes down, the first note starting on G or A below middle C. Thank you so much for all your inspired music through the years. Laurie Donovan

In reply to Diane. You are an incredible composer! I play the flute and have performed several of your pieces over the years, and I’ve loved every one of them. However, Gethsemane is truly one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Thank you so much for composing and sharing this remarkable piece. I have the privilege of accompanying it with a group of singers for Easter, and I can’t wait to share this beautiful piece with others! Your music has been such a gift—thank you again!

Some sisters in our Ward RS are singing “Write Thy Name Upon My Heart” for our birthday celebration in March. We are singing the SSA version. However, we cannot figure out how to adapt the “flute” accompaniment with the SSA version. The flutist and I have read through your instructions, but we still cannot figure out how to make them work together. Can you please help us?

Do you have any arrangements for tenor and bass duet?
