Christ the Lord Is Risen Today 2023.
03.07.23: NEW Arrangement: Christ the Lord Is Risen Today 2023. Due to some delays with my vocalists, I'm late getting Easter music out. Here are some basic files for

08.01.22: NEW! Great Is Thy Faithfulness. It's finally here! Sorry this arrangement took so long, I wanted to make sure I could make it the best it could be!
Incidentally, Great Is Thy Faithfulness only came into the public domain in 2019 (I only can publish public domain music on the website.) I worked out this arrangement in my head over a year ago but was still getting better from all my health issues and didn't want to tackle it until now.
