It Came Upon a Midnight Clear (Gospel)

This is an original song I wrote, using text from the well-known Christmas carol. The recording was from a live performance on Christmas Eve at Odessa Christian Faith Center, 2023. Hope you enjoy!

Away In a Manger (for acapella choir)

This is an essay on the famous Christmas carol, performed live by the Odessa Christian Faith Center Vocal Ensemble, Christmas Eve 2023. It was an experiment in linear textual writing, as well as linear melodic part-writing. Added to the song are some theological thoughts.

Hope you enjoy!

Magnificat

This is a composition for acapella choir, using the famous text from the Bible, as Mary greeted Elizabeth. (Lk. 1:46-55) The miracle of The Seed being placed in her womb, the Word becoming flesh, Heaven touching earth is even more astounding knowing that it happened to a young girl who was unsuspecting of her destiny to bear the Child Who would be the Savior of the world.

This was a live performance by the Odessa Christian Faith Center choir, directed by Stephanie Carter, Christmas Eve 2021.

Hope you enjoy!
