We were working on this before they split our ward. I hope that we can make this work for us.
Me, too! It’s a nice setting, but it will be a little tough without at least a few people on each part. Hopefully you can add numbers to the choir in short order! Good luck!
Hi Smith, I’m working on it and wonder if it’s possible to have a record of past choir as reference? Thanks!
@Ivis: Unfortunately, I don’t have a recording for this piece. I am in the process of making synthesized versions that may help, but it will be some time before I can get those created and uploaded. I’ll keep working on it, though!
Hi Steve, we had the first session of choir practice today & we all love the arrangement! Thanks for sharing
Great! You are, of course, very welcome. I’m so grateful that these are useful to you! Hope the choir is going well.
i enjoyed so much .
Thanks!
Just wanted you to know how your music has been a blessing to our ward. Our ward choir sang this for our ward choir. It is such a beautiful arrangement and we all enjoyed your setting of this song of praise and gratitude.
Thanks, Kendra! I’m really glad it helped your choir and I appreciate you taking time to post some feedback. May you continue to be blessed for your efforts!
Hey Steve,
I just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU….for sharing your wonderful talent with us. Our ward choir have sang a few of your arrangements but by far “For the Beauty of the Earth” is one of our favorite. Please keep doing what you do the Heathridge ward choir from Perth, Australia just love it……by the way is there any chance you will be arranging a Christmas Medley of songs?????…Thanks again
@rpaki: Thank YOU for trying out the music and stopping by with your comments. I’m so glad the music is helpful to your choir. I may have a few Christmas things coming up this year … stay tuned!
