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!
Jesucristo, esperanća do mundo/Jesus Christ, Hope of the World
My choral arrangement of this beautiful Brazilian song continues to find its way into worship services, this time at the 2024 Calvin Worship Symposium with Pearl Shangkuan conducting the Calvin Capella choir. You can purchase the anthem for yourself at GIA.
