This is a song for Primary children about the importance of family history work. It was written for the Fort Morgan Ward primary children in June 2014.
This song is one of Nathan Howe’s collection of songs for Primary children.
This is by far the most requested piece by Nathan Howe. The Other Prodigal is a song about redemption, forgiveness, and the power of a father’s love for both of his sons. The song was written in 2003 in the coastal town of Ulladulla, New South Wales, Australia. The text was inspired by a 2002 address by Jeffrey R. Holland.

This beautiful hymn by David Macfarlane has been set in an exciting anthem arrangement by Nathan Howe. The anthem includes optional divisi for men and women. This piece received an Award of Merit in the 2013 Church Music Submissions.
When Ye Shall Receive These Things is a piece for SATB choir and piano. The text is based on the text in the tenth chapter of Moroni: “…when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that you would ask of God…”
The music features accessible, modern harmonies for choral singers over a beautiful flowing texture in the piano part.
When Ye Shall Receive These Things received an honorable mention in the 2013 Music Composition Contest sponsored by yourLDSmusicstore.com, and it is a part of their compilation titled Reflections. You can buy the entire book or this piece alone here.
Okay, it might not be the most traditional Valentine’s Day date venue, but the Church Music Festival at the Assembly Hall on Temple Square will be great this Friday. The concert features winning entries from the annual Church Music Submissions. You can see a list of the honored pieces here.
My anthem arrangement of David Macfarlane’s Like Sunlight Gleams Thy Grace, O Lord will be performed. (Sheet music for that piece is coming soon.)
So why is this festival a good Valentine’s Day option? If you’re in a relationship, here’s your game plan:
5:00 pm – Take your date to dinner in downtown Salt Lake City.
6:45 pm – Go for a romantic walk around Temple Square. (Free and romantic – two for one!)
7:30 pm – Listen to beautiful music. (Also free!) (Pro tip: The Assembly Hall has pews instead of seats with armrests, so you can sit close.)
9:30 pm – Go out for dessert.
Single? No problem:
5:00 pm – Go to dinner with friends
6:45 pm – Take a leisurely walk on Temple Square (keep your eye out for others who may be doing the same thing)
7:30 pm – Listen to beautiful music (perhaps while sitting near a beautiful stranger?)
9:30 pm – Make casual conversation after the concert, and go out for dessert with someone you’d like to know better.
Church Music Festival: Everyone wins on Valentine’s Day. Stop by and say hello if you’re there.
[Edit: If you do plan to bring the family, remember that most Temple Square concerts, including this one, only admit children ages 8 and older.]
