This Christmas Night is a concise, highly practical sacred cantata consisting of an overture and six musical numbers, deliberately structured for rapid preparation and performance confidence, requiring as little as one focused rehearsal.

The libretto explores Christmas through multiple dimensions—cherished traditions, ancestral and cultural heritage, the birth of Jesus, and the season’s profound nostalgia. The text embraces both the collective and the intimate, celebrating generational memory, communal ritual, spiritual reverence, and heartfelt remembrance.

The work is vocally conceived for six solo voices (Soprano 1, Soprano 2, Alto 1, Alto 2, Tenor, and Bass), written with natural prosody, lucid phrasing, accessible ranges, and intuitively shaped melodies to ensure swift internalization and secure self-preparation.

Orchestrally, the score is streamlined yet timbrally distinctive, scored for: Flute, Alto Saxophone, Piano, Violins I &amp; II, Viola, Cello, and Double Bass. Instrumental writing emphasizes transparency, clear cueing, minimal divisi, and structural support over virtuoso display, preserving musical expressivity without inflating rehearsal demands.

Narration functions as dramatic linkage and structural pacing, easing cognitive transitions between movements and providing built-in readiness windows for performers. Many sectional transitions employ sustained or vamp-based designs, enabling real-time flexibility without destabilizing the score.

The finale expands the cantata’s frame beyond the stage, inviting the audience to participate directly by joining the performers in singing "Joy to the World." This participatory conclusion transforms the work into a communal act of celebration, reinforcing the cantata’s central themes—shared tradition, spiritual proclamation, and nostalgic joy—while ensuring a memorable, acoustically supported close that does not require additional rehearsal for ensemble execution.

At its essence, This Christmas Night is a work of artistic economy and emotional fullness—narratively vivid, spiritually anchored, nostalgically resonant, and engineered for dependable performance even under constrained preparation conditions. It is crafted to cohere quickly, deliver clearly, and conclude luminously as a shared expression of the Christmas spirit.

For ensembles that do not have the resources or infrastructure to engage a live orchestra, a full performance track of the orchestral accompaniment is available to you as well, separately.

  year. It features SATB solo work as well as a dynamic organ accompaniment.
  Nothing too difficult, but definitely a challenge.

Mass in G Major

SATB Vocal Score

This is a contemporary Mass of sorts constructed to fit into today's
  issues of God's people: Addiction, abortion, suicide, and the like. It's a
  heartfelt plea to God to grant us peace. Designed for a leader (priest) and
  the people (congregation). 
    
    
    
    It features a prayer from AA, and the Lord's Prayer is worded as
  "me" rather than, "us" throughout to make it quite
  personal.  Definitely a tear-jerker in
  many ways as we the people seek peace in our time.

Requiem Mass for the Living

Unison/Two-Part Vocal Score

6 FRESH HYMNS is a start to the hymnology Im working on.  I wanted to compose something that is
  unusual, but appropriate for various occasions in the church year, yes, but
  also on the issues regarding society. 
    
    
    
    For example, The Storm is about having faith in God regardless of
  circumstance. In this case, a horrible one. It speaks to the fear we all have
  in terrible, threatening weather. What will last  hope or doom? As
  Christians, we know its hope.
    
    
    
    Theres a song about Christmas, Happy, Happy In the Morn; a song for
  weddings, for peace, for harvest time, and for sheer happiness. Songs that
  are relevant, but difficult to find a setting for. . .

6 Fresh Hymns

This collection of preludes was sparked by a WELS organist who contacted
  me because she had a dickens of a time trying to find preludes for some WELS
  hymns. So, to her and all of you, I present these to you.
    
    
    
    Titles include: 
    
    Let All Together Praise Our God, To Thee My Heart I Offer, When Christmas
  Morn Is Dawning, Gently Mary Laid Her Child, Oh Come My Child, Behold the
  Lamb of God, Come To Calvary's Holy Mountain, When I Survey The Wondrous
  Cross, Deep Were His Wounds, and Sweet the Moments, Rich In Blessing.
