Not that anyone will notice, but . . .

I have moved my "LDS & other Christian Sheet Music" link-list to my Choir blog.

Oh yes.  I have a choir blog, because (as anyone who knows me can attest to) I take Ward Choir very seriously.  :)

In case any of you are serving as your ward choir director, or are friends with your ward choir director, take a look at my super-fantastic ward choir blog, "Preachin' to the Choir".

Primarily, I post background information about the hymns the choir sings in our ward's Sacrament Meeting, but I also have other stuff on there like links to recordings of some of the pieces we've done, and the hand-dandy link-list for LDS sheet music (most of which are for free music, in case your ward doesn't have a ward choir budget.)

I also just posted the Christmas program our choir is doing this year, and intend on posting the other two Christmas programs I've written just to throw ideas out there for anyone who's looking.  I should clarify that when I say I've "written" Christmas programs, what I mean is that I have selected a variety of great music (in my humble opinion) and tied it together with narration.  I'm not a big fan of the Christmas Cantatas you can buy, because so many of them are just CHEESY!   Inevitably, I don't love all the music in the cantata, and I don't like paying for music that I don't like.   So I "write" my own.  I choose Christmas music that I love, and then spend a lot of time searching the scriptures until I find the perfect blend that ties all the music together.  It just so happens that this year, my songs fit perfectly into the basic Christmas story in Luke 2.  So I didn't actually search very hard this year.

Anyways . . .  Preachin' to the Choir.  Check it out.
