I arranged this piece many years ago for a stake conference and subsequently for the BYU Men’s Chorus (Homecoming Spectacular) where Nate Hofheins arranged the orchestra (see the video on YouTube).

My Heavenly Father Loves Me »

For SATB Soli (or Chorus) and Piano
My-Heavenly-Father-Loves-Me-SCORE.pdf

Requested by close friend, (and talented Sleepy Hollow director) Courtney Knight, this piece was a joy to complete.  This has long been one of my favorite primary songs and I jumped at the chance to arrange it.  The intended performers are four soloists but I think this would work just as well with a choir.

For SATB Chorus, Piano and Flute

My friend, Brenda Baugh, in the Lehi, Utah Stake, asked for this arrangement for an upcoming stake conference.  Every so often when arranging, a musical idea comes along that truly seems at one with the text.  Such was the case with How Gentle.

For TB Chorus and Piano.

With only a handful of music-readers in the group, our ward priesthood quorums (adult and young men) received a call to sing this hymn at an upcoming meeting. 

I Need Thee Every Hour »

For SATB Chorus and Organ, Three-Hands
I-Need-Thee-Every-Hour.pdf
I-Need-Thee-Every-Hour-CHORAL.pdf

Through this piece I find one of the best expressions of how I feel about the Atonement of Christ.  As I grow older and, hopefully, more humble I realize how much I need the power of the Atonement every hour, every moment of mortality. 

Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee »

For SATB Chorus and Piano
Jesus-the-Very-Thought-of-Thee.pdf

This is one of my earliest “published” arrangements; somewhat revised and updated for this year’s stake conference. 

Love at Home »

For SATB Chorus, Piano and Violin

As a husband and father of four, I’ve really come to appreciate the powerful message of Love at Home.  Consider one of my favorite lines: Sweeter sings the brooklet by / Brighter beams the azure sky / Oh, there’s One who smiles on high When there’s love at home. 

Peace »

A combination of Where Can I Turn for Peace? and Be Still, My Soul
For SATB Chorus and Piano
Peace.pdf
Peace-CHORAL.pdf

I first arranged this many years ago but revised it for our Stake Conference last year.  I smoothed out the harmony and added a rolling piano accompaniment to give the arrangement a sense of forward motion – moving from worry and longing to comfort and confident peace.
