Product Description
With My Heart
Inspiration
In 2012 my wife
suggested we attend a church service at a Catholic church in town
called Holy Cross. It was unclear as to where this came from; my wife
has never been one to attend church services. I agreed though I was
puzzled. On our first attendance what caught my ear was the beautiful
sounds coming from the choir. There was a choir director playing the
piano and singing soprano, one alto, one tenor and one bass. They
sounded quite good especially the director; she had studied at
Julliard and there were several other choir members who were trained
musicians. It was only a few months later that I found myself singing
with the choir during lent. From this experience was born "With
All My Heart", written for the Holy Cross choir.
The Music
The music is
upbeat, contemporary, with lyrics modified from Psalm 103. Completed
in 2013, it was my first church piece in a dozen years. A simple
structure of ABABCB with a soloist for the C section.
Program Notes
I thank God for
leading my wife to this church as it lead to my resumption of singing
for the Lord and continued composing of church music to this day in
2021.
