Update May


What a uniquely enjoyable experience last October working with South Korea's Ansan City Choir, led by the excellent Shin-Hwa Park. Seoul was overflowing with music. Here, their choreographed version of Lord I'm Free from the Gospels set:



Roads was the encore, with all participating choirs in Korea's choral conductor's annual event:



Much of 2013 is being devoted to updating the archives. A major part of which entails the recording of demo versions of over 100 jazz/pop songs from the 80s and 90s (mostly in the Charts jazz book) that have been lying dormant and neglected for decades. Work is progressing nicely - here and here and here, for example. Charts is undergoing a much needed overhaul and will be available in a streamlined version in the fall.

Mass (1992) is now published in a newly revised, highly upgraded edtion. For choir/piano/string orchestra, choir/piano/string quintet, or choir/piano.
Price information at the Score Shop.

Stabat Mater for choir/strings/piano/soloists will be premiered in Hiroshima in September.
