I absolutely love your music! Do you have a Mother’s Day piano solo?

“If the Savior Stood Beside Me” is a big hit with my duet. Do you have other close harmony for High Tenor/ Bass?

In reply to Susan. You *could* just do a quick search for "carpool," since I haven't used it in all that many songs... :D j/k It's this one: https://defordmusic.com/song-list/an-angel-to-watch-over-me/

I thought I saw a song about all the things mothers do. You said carpooling you couldn’t rhyme with.

I can’t find it now.
Could
You tell me where to find it?

Please answer

Sally – I have just come upon your lovely music which is a blessing for our small (12) choir. We will include a couple of your pieces for the Christmas season. God has blessed you with the gift of song! I so appreciate your music with the permission to copy, as it is a challenge to purchase music with the smaller church budget. Please keep writing. Blessings —

Hi,
I am now the choir director for the traditional services at Mount Olive Lutheran Church in Lake Havasu, Arizona.
A couple years ago one of my singers found your site and started doing a couple of your solos. They were beautiful with well written music and lyrics as well as a musically realized accompaniment.
Then I started looking through your compositions and found several moving numbers for choir or ensemble.
It is very telling when we perform your music at a service that I do not change the accompaniments, ad lib, or alter parts. That is how well written they are.
Thank you for inspiring Biblical texts wedded to inspired musical settings. Truly, God has blessed you with an ability to carry His praise musically to many others outside your immediate circle of family and friends.

In reply to Trina Belbin. Dear Trina Belbin: I saw your wonderful tribute to Catherine Leauga Fatu Prior who died last year. I am very sad that I missed speaking or emailing her as her husband is a member of the Prior family who is connected with my research on her husband's father's brother Percival Benjamin Prior (1884-1949). Percival may have been a writer who contributed phantasy stories i the 1920s from England, before moving to Australia and then New Zealand. I would very much like to contact her children: Anita, David, Evelyn, Geoffrey or Rex to see if there is a family member who might know the answer to my research question. I would appreciate whatever information you can give me to contact them.

I love what you share here about the mothers in your life……
I was born naturally extremely shy…..and was born into a family that perhaps has become to awkwardly common,where dysfunctional,and noncommunication,or misunderstood and suppressed and silent love existed somehow…..My greatest desire has to be a Good mother.Your music inspires me always to do this and more.My mum passed near on8 yrs now and my Father has passed 3 yrs before her.I have never reached out to another musician like you,as academically perhaps I never completed more degrees…but I was born singing,and I teach piano and voice.I was trained in Trinity and Royal Conservatories of Music….And I have been teaching since I was 15….and I will be 64 on my next birthday…..My life is just beginning and I have so much to learn……there are too many things that have held me back…..but I would love to converse more with you,… about so many musical things,as I see music in evrything…..and lyrics rythmn,stories resonate strongly with me…..I am German,Chinese,Eng,Samoan etc.born in NZ.married to an Australian who’s a Scifi TEch Computer genius….and we have 3 grown children,living in NZ,,Canada and TX kingsville…..My daughter and I are extremely artistic,creative in music,and movement…and someday I would like to build an International cultural arts School,where people can explore music,art ,food,dances,and cultures……sorrry to go on…..but I love your music and seek your experience,wisdom and guidance…..I am a surviver of trauma most would not believe,….and I have died and returned because the lord needs me here……My life has always been guided and protected….My first vocal teacher found me and taught me Leider,Italian Arias and so much more when I was nearly 9…Then my mum found an amazing piano teacher,who I soared with and felt like I did 4 yrs work where I ..sat my first Trinity exame in grade 3 passing with honours…..I skipped over a few grades and completed 5 and 8 and then qualified to teach at 15 …..My first piano teacher was married to a severely hunched back woman….he also loved me so much….I believe his great compassion for God,life,and others….was music to my soul.
And my last piano teacher was blind…..she was a child prodigy with another prodigy…They were known as the 2 Nancys …Nancy Ward ,taught me practical works,studies,scales,etc…And Nancy Wardell taught me theory….
too much . too write,sorry…I Wish I could chat with u in person,….as its all overwhelming,but with Global warming,….our universe changing …..continual diversity and warring and satan basically basking with delight,…..Inviting Good change thru more love and unity is needed….even though I am more classically trained,I feel the history of music from it’s meagre primitive,..roots …..
I strive to open hearts to the music that seals our path eternally…..and hopefully allows us strive for better ways to see each other as God sees us all…..I love to improvise …..knowing that living specific order and truths gives me this freedom and sureness to move like water freely and easily…..Music is Heavenly Father’s Great Gift to All his children,….Spiritually it nurtures us so Divinely with influences and Nature so sublime and ubiquitously, teaching us ,…. we are all God’s children,learning to be guided with his love and truths.God Bless You Sally Always….Thankyou for being U….
My hubby and I arrived here in Houston TX …The Woodlands 2001….and 2 months later September 11.
we have lived here 20 yrs.
All my Love ,and prayers go out to you…..
