If Only I Had Wings

I was feeling a little droopy this morning, so I decided to write a little music. After all, nothing cheers the soul like notes. Right? So here’s a new song in collaboration with Colin Gordon-Farleigh called “I Only I Had Wings.” You can view the PDF or listen to the cheesomatic-computer-automated MP3. By the way, if anyone wants to record their own rendition of this–or any song posted here–rest assured that I’ll gladly listen to it and most likely post it to my music blog.

Your Forever Friend

Poor Colin. I told him over a month ago that I had a draft of a new song and that I’d get him the completed song soon. Well, lately “soon” for me can take months. But soon has finally arrived! Listen to an MP3 of “Your Forever Friend” or play it yourself using this handy-dandy PDF.

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Here’s a little something I whipped up this afternoon: Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing. Okay, “whipped up” and “this afternoon” makes it sound too easy. I’ve actually been carrying around a rough draft of this in my backpack for the last 6 months and finally got a chance to complete it yesterday and today. The recording is one of my trademark cheesy Finale playback renditions, but it gets the point across.

A Great and Mighty Wonder

Due to popular demand (okay–one request) I just wrote a piano accompaniment for my Christmas song “A Great and Mighty Wonder.” I also took the opportunity to update the text a little and write out a descant. The descant is kind of cool in a musically geeky sort of way–it uses the refrain of “O come All You Faithful” as counterpoint to this song’s refrain. (Do I smell a Christmas medley?) You can hear a demo MP3 here or download the lead sheet and piano score at my main site.
