Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre;
Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings.
Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
~ Psalm 33:2-3
Chorals, Carols, and Calls to Worship
Of all the styles of music represented at Scripture Release, I am most at home with choral and orchestral music. From conducting Rossini on my living room couch as a 10 year old, to later playing and singing in concerts of all kinds, I have enjoyed the “serious” framework in which choirs and orchestras operate.
Chorals showcases compositions for choirs ranging from Easy to Advanced. Most have piano accompaniments, others…brass, etc. Carols includes a number of Christmas songs I have written over the years (an ongoing tradition). There are solos as well as choral pieces with orchestral accompaniments.
Calls To Worship is a series of songs I’ve written that lend themselves as solos in a traditional church setting where a “tone” is being set for service. In reality, a number of these songs could also be sung in unison by a choir. I encourage you to use your own creativity in the way you want these pieces presented. The point of all this is that God’s word is manifested in such a way that people can hear it and respond.
