While I think the best setting of this text is undoubtedly John Rutter’s, this simple melody by Conrad Kocher brings an enjoyable 19th century folk hymn quality to the text.

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.

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.

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

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 »

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