Hello. I'm Jay. This site was designed with the LDS Ward Choir Director in mind: Statistically, you have little or no budget, and could always use new ideas for getting more out of your choir during rehearsals. We offer

- Free, tasteful music

- Free articles about conducting and rehearsing.

- Links to other free, tasteful music and conducting or rehearsing ideas.

RECENT ADDITIONS:

- Music: As The Dew From Heaven Distilling original SATB a cappella setting. Colonial American harmony, fugeing second section. (11/2009) LISTEN

- Music: Our Savior's Love original SATB a cappella setting. (10/2009) LISTEN

- Music: It May Not Be on The Mountain Height reworked for SAB and piano. Pensive, walking tempo. Linear harmonies, in the spirit of Bartok's folk music but without the dissonance. (9/2009) LISTEN

-Music: High On The Mountain Top written for my brother John's ward conference. VERY easy to learn arrangement for 3 part men. Simple but interesting piano accompaniment. (7/2009) LISTEN

- Article: Solving Choral Problems shows how to use vocalise and other rehearsal warm-ups to fix common problems (2008)

- Music: BeStillMySoul lyrics fit perfectly with the renaissance gem "The Silver Swan" by Orlando Gibbons. I inserted (2008) LISTEN
the new text, and voila, another public domain work ready for the more ambitious choir.
