Wendell Kimbrough’s Christmas album

If you haven’t heard WK’s new Christmas album yet, do yourself a favor and take a listen. It is a joyous acoustic trip through your favorite carols and two original songs. I am proud to have contributed six string arrangements to the album. It was so much fun to hear them in the context of the final album!

People have been asking where to find sheet music for his tunes and the string arrangements that accompanied the album. Look no further, my friend! Click here for all of my arrangements of Wendell’s music, including “Mary’s Song,” “Oh Rejoice in All Your Works,” and string arrangements of his hymn and carol renditions.

Disco Angels

I recently wrote some string arrangements for Wendell Kimbrough’s forthcoming Christmas album. One was a fairly straightforward Psalm song. The other was a funky version of “Angels We Have Heard on High.” I binge-listened to Chic, Donna Summer, Sister Sledge, and Silver Convention so I’d get the string sound just right. Behind the scenes, the arrangement went by “Disco Angels.” Here’s a picture of last night’s tracking session. I can’t wait to hear the final recording!

Music Unites Us w/ the Holland Symphony Orchestra

This Saturday (August 12, also known as tomorrow) is the premiere of four arrangements I wrote for the Holland Symphony Orchestra. Below is a documentary about the process. It really is an interesting project, with four global music performers partnering with the HSO for a musical celebration of local diversity.

Once you’ve watched the video, you’ll be so stoked about the concert that you’ll want to attend. It’s a free concert at Kollen Park in Holland, starting at 7pm. Here are the details: https://www.facebook.com/events/152084961141526.
