Written in memory of the lives lost in the May 16, 2025 tornadoes in Somerset and London, Kentucky, An Appalachian Elegy is a moving choral tribute that blends original folk-inspired melodies with sacred hymn tradition. Featuring a powerful quote of My Old Kentucky Home and a poignant reference to the hymn tune Cleansing Fountain, the piece reflects on loss, resilience, and hope. It builds to a stirring climax before fading into a soft choral hum, with an off-stage soloist carrying the final strains of Kentucky's state song. Deeply expressive and rooted in Appalachian musical language, this work is ideal for memorial concerts or meaningful community performances.

Amazing Grace

SATB Full Score

This SSA arrangement of Loretta Lynn’s iconic anthem celebrates Appalachian heritage, resilience, and pride through the voices of young singers. Drawing from the song’s country roots, the setting blends folk-inspired harmonies with moments of reflective simplicity and energetic drive, allowing the story to remain front and center.

Accessible ranges and idiomatic voice leading make this arrangement well-suited for treble choirs at the middle and high school level, while thoughtful dynamic shaping and expressive opportunities invite singers to engage deeply with the text. The result is a powerful tribute to working-class families, generational strength, and the enduring spirit of the coalfields—told through a choral lens that honors both tradition and storytelling.

Ideal for concerts exploring American music, regional heritage, or themes of identity and perseverance.
