Recently featured on the Black On Track - Radio Show with Matt Black, here is my "Justitiae Domini" outstandingly performed by my ensemble the Rocky Mountain Chamber Choir - Virtual Singers. I'm pretty proud of this piece and performance. Channeling some of my favorite living composers I think I created something engaging to listen to and really REALLY fun to sing! Thanks again for a really fun interview Matt Black!

As you look for music to program music for this coming winter season, I would be honored if you would consider checking out my arrangement of the Irish-language Christmas Carol "Don Oíche Úd i mBeithil" for SSAA featuring a solo.

Irish version comes with pronunciation guide and IPA transliteration. Also available in English.

As graduation season approaches, if you are looking for a quick learn for a graduation ceremony or advancement situation, here's a nice easy arrangement I did for North Davis Junior High many years ago. It became a nice tradition for them to sing every year.

ALERT! A brand new arrangement, and this time it's a tribute to none other than our Saint Dolly.

Looking around one day, I was SHOCKED that I couldn't find a single choir arrangement of this Dolly Parton classic. Some projects insist upon happening and this is one. Give it a listen, you'll enjoy the folksy tune and pleasant vocals. It really is a perfect addition to so many different kinds of performances and pretty easy to learn!

Plus, who couldn't use more Dolly Parton on their programs?!
