"Seasons Through My Window" began when my oldest daughter
  starting writing a poem about Fall when she was six.  
    
    She suggested that we might "sing her poem". Thus, the seed was
  planted for this work. The process would typically include Erica writing a
  poem about the season, singing it to me, and then I would notate it and then
  create a harmony and accompaniment. 
  
    
    Throughout the process I would give her choices about what I was writing as
  she sat next to me, singing along. 
  
    
    Here are some performance notes about the piece.
    
    Fall
    
    The opening and closing vocal part is meant to be the sound created by the
  wind.  
    
    So, a "whoosh" sound with some swells would be fun.  
    
    The scoop/slide/gliss on "pumpkins scary" is crucial. Please
  exaggerate.
    
    Winter
    
    This movement is rather wordy. Please take at a tempo in which your choir
  can articulate all of the words. 
  
    
    The neighbor's dog is found in the accompaniment. He comes back to end the
  movement.
    
    Spring
    
    This movement is pretty straight forward. 
  
    
    The gliss at the end can be taken out of time as long as it is still in
  tune and key.
    
    Summer
    
    The ﬁreworks found in the accompaniment were written by Erica.
  Please approximate and improvise. 
  
    
    Play with the imagination of a six year old.  
    
    Thanks for considering this piece. If you perform it, we would love to hear
  about it. Please contact us at

Concert Band Score & Parts

An exciting and fresh setting of the theme from Maurice Ravel's Bolero
  for string orchestra.  Set over a funk
  groove in 4/4 time rather than 3/4, each member of the string orchestra has a
  chance to be in the spotlight! tylermerideth.com

Funky Old Maurice

This unique setting of a beautiful 15th Century Christmas text for SATB
  voices and piano will serve as a great concert opener or call to
  worship.  The dynamic piano part allows
  for your collaborative pianist to shine without covering up the voices.  A well placed cathartic A Cappella break in
  the last verse makes this arrangement one that will not be forgotten!

In Excelsis Gloria

In the summer of 2004 I participated as a choir member in the
  International Church Music Festival in Coventry, England. It was the first
  time that I traveled outside of the United States and also the first time I
  had a chance to collaborate with musicians from all over the world. The
  experience made quite an impression on me. 
  
    
    
    
    
    
    One day after rehearsal, I purchased 12 different postcards from the gift
  shop and got onto the choir tour bus. While I studied my newly purchased
  mementos, I realized that I was hearing music when I looked at a specific
  card. I quickly sketched a compositional concept on a scrap piece of paper
  for Agnus Dei. The postcard featured a sculpture of Christs countenance
  made from the remains of a fatal car wreck. 
  
    
    
    
    
    
    I sought out other latin prayers outside of the Mass Setting to align with
  the other postcards. Once those were selected, short bursts of creativity and
  productivity over sixteen years brought us to today: July 5, 2020. The day I
  completed setting all twelve texts in twelve different keys.
    
    
    
    
    
    I would love to hear how you used this music either in a concert or worship
  setting. You can find my contact info and pictures of all the postcards at my
  website:

Reconciliation

SATB Vocal Score

This setting of Paul Laurence Dunbar's poem represents the emotional toll
  of not being able to speak to, hold hands, wrap your arms around your loved
  ones during the pandemic that started in 2020.  The line "Ah, today is like a dirge,
  place my arms around you.  Let me feel
  the same dear joy as when I first found you" is highlighted in a brief a
  cappella section bookended by a repetitive somber drone and ostinato found in
  the piano part.

Yesterday and To-morrow

The traditional Christmas Hymn arranged for TTBB a cappella choir.

Lo, How A Rose E'er Blooming

TTBB Octavo

Voice Subcategory

Quick to learn, this very accessible arrangement of the famous tune will inspire audiences with it's thick, singable harmonies and opportunities to showcase dynamic range.

Poor Wayfaring Stranger

SSATTB

This arrangement of "In The Sweet By and By" was written in response to the sudden and unexpected passing of a member of a church choir. This particular choir member was very gracious with her time and always opened her home for large get togethers after the biannual Cantata. On the rare occasion that she missed rehearsal, she could be found Sunday, lightly playing her part on the piano before anyone would arrive. The beginning single line piano introduction of the piece is a nod to her diligence in learning her part so she wouldn't let the group down. The piece ends with the single piano line returning playing "We shall meet on that beautiful shore" a gentle reminder that life is short and greater things await those who place their trust in Christ as their Savior. This SAB arrangement is well suited for adult choir but also would work well with a Junior High choir, honoring the passion she had working with the conrmands at her local church.

In the Sweet By and By

SAB Octavo

My first exposure to this piece came as an accompanist for violin
  studios. "Chorus from Judas Maccabeus" is a well known tune in the
  Suzuki repertoire. In my first teaching position, I was looking for music on
  a very minimal budget and remembered this piece. After some research, I
  arranged this gem for my beginning Freshman Choir.
    
    
    
    This arrangement of "Canticorum Jubilo" from Judas Maccabeus
  works well with a beginner group of middle school voices or early high school
  changing voice. Please feel free to adapt the notes to what works best for
  your group. I have provided some suggested optional notes. The Latin is not
  difficult and the opportunity to sing such rich harmonies in an A Cappella
  setting is a very fruitful endeavor for young singers.

Canticorum Jubilo

"Dominus Vobiscum" is one movement from a larger work entitled Reconciliation, a set of 12 Latin prayers. Each movement takes it's inspiration from individual postcards containing pictures of St. Michael's Cathedralin Coventry, England. When performed in sequence, Reconciliation can serve as a worship service however, the individual movements also can stand alone. This opening movement is a call to worship containing the following text:

Dominus vobiscum            The Lord be with you
Et cum spiritu tuo               And with your spirit. 
Pax vobis                           Peace to you. 

When performed, the piece should be taken at the suggested tempo or slower depending on the pianist's
comfort level with the accompaniment. However, the piano part is just a backdrop and should never
outdo the text. There should always be a ritardando the end of a phrase and a return to the original tempo
throughout the piece with every phrase as demonstrated in the opening choral phrase.

Dominus Vobiscum
