All Creatures Praise Him
SATB with some divisi   accompanied

Medallion Music

Pearl Singers sing for the annual Community Thanksgiving Service.  Appropriate text.  This piece lends itself to easy sightreading for the beginning of the year.  It reads easy yet sounds involved and impressive.  Perfect for a community religious service.

Voice Dance

I was looking for a lighter piece to program opposite several heavy pieces.  “Voice Dance” offers some challenging tuning issues, but is very enjoyable for both the singer and the listener.

Lux Aurumque
TTBB    a cappella
Eric Whitacre
Walton Music

The 1st tenors soar and the low basses plummet. The all-male timbre is a refreshing twise for the harmonies that are indicative of Whitacre’s writing.  A challenging yet enjoyable piece.
