The Spotlight Song

Children’s voices and piano

I play the piano for Primary every Sunday, where I get to hang out with kids ages 3 to 11. When I was in Primary, they had a “child of the month” or “child of the week” or “star child” or something, which was basically a way to help the kids get to know each other. In our ward, we now do a similar activity called the Spotlight.

Promises

Medium voice with piano

This song was written for the baptism of our niece Zoey. It describes our relationship with the Savior by discussing what we promise him, and what he promises us in return.

P.S. There are a few notes on my process for this recording here.

I Have a Garden

SSAA a cappella

A good mother-in-law is hard to find. I got one. She’s a member of an elite squad of singing ladies called Come Saturday Morning (perhaps because they practice early on Saturday mornings). To honor them, I arranged this little ditty for four-part women’s voices.

Resurrection Hymn

Vocal Solo with piano

This solo was written for use in a sacrament meeting on Easter of 2010. The song was subsequently revised and performed for “Reflections on Christ,” a Good Friday cultural event sponsored by the Loveland, Colorado Stake in 2011. It is a musical testimony that through the Atonement and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we will all one day be resurrected and stand before God in the flesh. Also, the song affirms that because of the sacrifice of Christ, we may be comforted and healed through the power of the Holy Ghost.
