No, You are Not Seeing Double

After claiming to write pioneer music in the winter, I just rewrote Come, Come Ye Saints for a three part men's choir.  So now there is an SATB and a TTB.

If you start now, there is time for your choir to learn this easy arrangement for the last week in July.

The First Noel SAB

I know. I know. Choir directors are planning pioneer music this time of year, not Christmas music. But if I wait till the season is upon us, it is too late to get the music out there in time for Choirs to practice. So, I write pioneer music in the winter and Christmas music in the summer.

You can check out the newest Christmas arrangement at http://www.freewardchoirmusic.com/customs/songs/196.pdf

Let me know what you think!

Several Updates

OK,
So I keep writing the ending of The First Noel and then changing it. First, I migrated into a key that has six flats. No. That just won't do. I don't want accompanists showing up at my house with torches and pitchforks. So I try something else. Boring!

Not sure where I am going to end up, but as soon as the last verse is finalized, I will post it.

Another concern I have is that I keep receiving emails from the website with nothing written! There is no return address or comments - or ANYTHING! So, if you are trying to contact me and I have not answered, try emailing me directly at:
ltg.pratt@gmail.com

One more thing!
A observant Ward Choir director noticed that the audio file for Battle Hymn of the Republic SATB cuts off before the last verse. I have tried to replace the recording, but so far have been unsuccessful. I recently switched hosting servers and wonder if that is the cause of all my problems.

It CAN'T be me, can it?

Christmas in May

Anybody in the mood for Christmas music?

An SAB arrangement of The First Noel is coming soon!

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!

It's Up and Ready

Finally. One of my favorite hymns. I Stand All Amazed SAB is ready for download and rehearsal. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!

Finished and Tweaked

I am recording I Stand All Amazed SAB today and will post it.

Make a Joyful noise unto the Lord!

I Stand All Amazed SAB

Alright. I wrote I Stand All Amazed for SAB. Then I went back and rewrote it to save all you accompanists from the trauma of six flats and jumping octaves in the right hand.

You're welcome.

I will finish tweaking and recording it and post it sometime this week.

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!
