Since I’ve started going back to school at BYU full time, I haven’t had time to work on my music site till I had a break between semesters. Our ward choir sang an arrangement I wrote of “Once in Royal David’s City” and I just had time to post it on the site. It is quite a departure from the solid hymn style and works more like a light lullaby.
While it wasn’t posted soon enough for Christmas this year, it could be an excellent addition to next year’s Ward Christmas program. I also made some changes in “Hark the Harold Angels Sing” and fixed a couple of small errors in “Now Thank We All Our God.” You might want to try out the new versions!
In addition to going to school full time, I have been released as our Ward Choir director and am now serving in our Young Women’s Presidency. I still plan to work on various arrangements in between semesters.
In the mean time, I’ll be conjugating Spanish verbs and studying the words of Isaiah!

Our ward Christmas party was last week, and just let me say that nothing says” Christmas like three ten-year-old boys in bathrobes with towels on their heads.

Hey everyone! I’ve started going back to school at BYU, so I have been bad about writing my blog. Can you say “forty page research papers?” I also have a new calling in our ward, so I’m no longer choir director. That means I haven’t had time to tweak my arrangements or work on new ones.
I do still sing with our ward choir, though, and have noticed a few more little changes I would like to make. One thing I want to change is to have the men sing the second verse of “Hark the Harold Angels Sing” in unison instead of splitting into parts. Maybe I’ll get a chance to do some tweaking during the Christmas break.
If I don’t, don’t expect anything to get done until Spring. Winter semester is going to be even more hectic than Fall semester was, plus I’m taking a class on the words of Isaiah! Pray for me!
