This page exists to provide unpublished arrangements of songs and compositions. As I have navigated church leadership positions, community events, and professional performances my skills for arranging and composing have always come in handy.
For instance my position as Albright-Bethune UMC had a particular group of teen musicians who played instruments that were not ever scored together. So I arranged hymns for them to perform as a "Christmas Band" each year.
After building a praise and worship team I set my heart to present a special performance for Easter. We couldn't have our musicians on Easter weekend, so I coined it Easter 2.0, held on a following week. I brought together a praise team of contemporary musicians, the PSU graduate student brass quintet, and a handful of singers from Essence of Joy to accomplish this task. I arranged multiple popular hymns and notated a few original compositions to present a wonderful celebration in concert.
