Nearer My God to Thee — Jacob’s Dream

This hymn has been a favorite of mine since I was a teenager. And because I know how beloved it is, not just for members of The Church of Jesus Christ but for Christians everywhere.

Piano & Vocal Arrangement | SATB Choir Arrangement

I began writing this song in April 2021 after discovering Elder Wirthlin’s talk, ‘Sunday Will Come.’ At the time, it had been nearly a year since Eli passed away….

This beautiful Christmas Carol was recently added to the LDS Hymnbook. This arrangement features a violin & vocal solo along with SATB harmonies. Thank you to members of my Ward and Stake at Church who joined with me to record this arrangement!

I have been wanting to arrange more of the newly added LDS hymns and this was one that someone in a comment from another video had recommended I do, this and Gethsemane. I finally was able to do them both!

Amazing Grace has been added to the new LDS hymnbook! Yay. I remember that the first time we sang it in my ward in sacrament meeting about 6 months ago, it was a powerful experience. Everyone already knew the hymn well and we just sang it out. It is a powerful song.

Today I want to share a song I worked on with a family friend. Korene reached out to me this summer with a few songs she had written and hired me to help her work on them and write a piano accompaniment for them so she could submit the songs to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

I am hoping the song will speak for itself. But in writing it, I tried to inspire action on the topic that I was asked to write about…”How can we come to know Jesus Christ in the scriptures so that one day, when he comes again, we will actually know him and have a close relationship with him?”

This video is an instrumental lyric video of the song “Shine On” from the LDS Children’s Songbook. This song talks about allowing the light of Jesus Christ to shine through us everyday, just as the sun rises each day.

This is an upbeat arrangement of the LDS Hymn “Praise to the Man” with a new refrain and second verse centered around Jehovah/Jesus Christ. This arrangement was created for a group of Primary children to sing for their Primary Program during sacrament meeting this coming fall. We wanted to share it with whoever else might enjoy it!
