Several friends have recently been twisting my arm...

...hard enough for me to finally listen.

So, I have a fun announcement to make.

But I'll get to that in just a sec.

First, a quote from my musical hero of all hero's, J.S. Bach, who said...

"The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God!"

That's one of my favorite quotes.

And it's the center of all I do when writing music.

So, what have you been working on during lockdown?

Have you started any new Sacrament Meeting music projects?

Maybe you've been practicing a new piece for church, whenever we get back to congregating in chapels?

I've been writing a couple of things, and practicing a few things too.

If you're writing a new arrangement or original work... and if you could use a little help... I hope you'll take a minute to consider getting this 341 page practical guide to hymn writing."

It's only volume 1 of 3. But it's my own picking apart of the first 100 hymns in our LDS hymnal.

This is a compliation of daily posts I published back at the end of 2018.

Now you can access all 341 pages in one, easy to access PDF for just $39.

It was a total accident, but I'm pretty tickled that this fit into exactly 341 pages, the same number of hymns in the 1985 hymnal... not that this matters at all.

But, anyway, if you've got some time and are working on your next hymn, I think these reveiws could really help you.

And now that this is out of the way..

...I'll get back to the announcement.

My LDS hymn reviews will SOON be returning! Woohoo!

BUT...

They will NOT be in blog/written form.

I'm still working out the details of these audio... and possibly even video reviews... but I'll let you know soon how they'll work.

Hope you have a great day!
