Publication of Hymn Introductions

04 September 2024

I am excited to announce that MorningStar Music is going to publish a collection with 10 of my festive hymn introductions and reharmonizations for organ.

The introductions are all short (30seconds to 2minutes) and specifically written for use in the liturgy. They are in various styles (from Bach and Beethoven to Wagner and Gospel) and cover frequently sung hymns such as 'Joyful, Joyful', 'I Love to Tell the Story', 'O Come All Ye Faithful', and 'In the Cross of Christ I Glory'.

The collection will be available for purchase in early 2025.
