"Self-Accompanied" Vocal Works
It’s official! I’ve been asked to sing my 2001 setting of “The Lord’s Prayer” in church on Sunday. This time the pastor wants me at both 8:30 & 11:00 services. I'm honored to share a sampling of this Psalm setting. I say “sampling” because, originally, the music was composed for a multi-voiced choir and orchestra. Hopefully, I can provide at least a “flavor” of my music’s intent.
To simplify matters (and to avoid multiple rehearsals), I will accompany myself on piano. This isn't the first time for such singing without an accompanist. Here is a recording of "O Divine Redeemer" (Charles Gounod) with me playing the piano and singing baritone with a soprano from choir one Sunday. Even without the "real" pianist, "the show must go on." Enjoy!
