Alleluia winner of Cincinnati Camerata 2002
Mother Mary Help Us
Who is He
Psalm 47 (rap)
Maria Wiegenlied
  One of my favorite Christmas pieces by Max Reger. I did a synth arrangement of it using only the Novation laptop and Catherine Fishlock sang.

from Together We Sing(Youth Choir)

You Are God  That’s Monica singing and Shamus doing the “rap”. Caleigh is the snooty girl who appears in the middle. Sara Hutchinson wrote the “rap” words when she was a 7th grader.
I’m glad I’m Home Again  Not exactly church music but what the heck. I had transcribed for banjo(painstakingly) an Irish bagpipe tune called the Gold Ring. I added chords and a vocal melody and Liette and I wrote the words. Dave Fishlock played the percussion. Shamus sang when he was just at the edge of not being a soprano anymore.

Other choir recordings:

Maranatha.mp3
From Advent Concert 08

Dominican chant.mp3
I wanted this piece in the Advent concert even though it is not strictly an Advent piece, although it is Marian. It's very clearly in the mixo-lydian mode which gives it a kind of folky sound. I added the cello part, which was mostly harmonics, to give it a bit more harmony, but not too much because keeping it sparse was important. Catherine Fishlock is doing the solo part along with a group of women from the choir.



I really wanted this to go on Voices of St. Gertrude but there were too many little things wrong with it.
