My third collaboration with the Hamilton’s has yielded some more Budaful music. This time in the form of the annual Patch the Pirate adventure. I arranged 7 of the songs for the adventure.

I got in touch with my fun, kiddy sound for several arrangements but a few of the  sacred songs will probably end up as full church choir arrangements. Some of my favorites include Treasure of my Heart and God Said, “I Love You”. It can now be downloaded at Sacredaudio.com or purchased at Majesty Music’s website.

Btw, those who grew up with Patch before the popularity of CDs know just what the title of this post means!

Back by popular demand, Funny Faces will have a second showing this Wednesday evening at 5 in Stratton Hall. I don’t remember seeing the 700-800 seat hall that packed before this past Saturday. Every seat was taken and there where people standing in the back. The ushers had to turn away a large number of disappointed people. Some even watched on the new view screen in the back just outside the hall.

I decided to post a few more clips for your enjoyment including a sappy theme I wrote for one of the characters in the hilarious Chick Fil-A video. Alas, most of the music I wrote for this creepy old man was not used in the video. Eat your heart out, Chuck!

I posted a section of this already, enjoy the whole thing.

Also, one of my favorite sections from Mimes the Word, a 10 minute Pantomime sequence!

In all the business with travel plans for Thanksgiving I neglected to mention something from a few weeks ago. I was privileged to co-orchestrate a choral piece entitled ‘My Jesus, Fair’, a new hymn by Chris Anderson and Greg Habegger, for a praise service that was held in BJ’s chapel hour. Listen to the entire song at BJ’s site. The printable hymn is a free download at churchworksmedia.com.

I recently had the privilege to compose incidental music for an upcoming Graduate speech recital. Sounds really academic, huh? Well don’t take it too seriously. This program is not for the long of face. In short, the extremely talented Allisha Sperr will be performing a series of short, absolutely hysterical comedy routines. I cannot begin to describe how funny this recital is going to be. You just have to see it for yourself to believe it.

This program takes place in Stratton Hall on the campus of BJU this Saturday, December the 5th at 7 o’ clock pm. Here are some audio samples:
