I'll try to come up with a post or two about the recording process, particularly as it pertains to choral music these days. Keep an eye out for it. hopefully, it won't take me my usual two months... :) Matthew – You’re welcome – and thank you for the kind comment.

I'd love to see something detailing the recording session process someday - I'm a composer of choral music along these lines as well, but I'm just getting my feet wet in the publishing/recording arena.

I'm honored. Please tell your choir "thanks" for me. And I'll pass this along to Chris Machen, who wrote the song. I know he'll be pleased to hear this as well. Allen – Thanks for that info.

Our choir (FBC Nederland, TX) is presenting a Favorite Anthem Concert this Sunday. Thought I'd let you know that the choir selected your arrangement of "Bow the Knee" as it's favorite anthem from the past three years. -Allen Cade , Minister of Music Hey Robert,

Point well made. And now Baylor may want to recall my degree for not paying attention in Music History class. :) Still waiting on an official response from the publisher. If they don't take it - I'll look elsewhere. I'll keep you posted. Ha! Point well made. And now Baylor may want to recall my degree for not paying attention in Music History class. :)

A "two-hit wonder" maybe; but that's probably not fair either. Besides Finlandia, which is a much more substantial piece than people know (most only know the tune which has been used for a couple of different hymn texts), he is also well-known for his Violin Concerto. But, enough of that.... Please let me know when you're finished with the piece. I enjoy his texts.

That's a 100% increase! With improvement like that, I should be running a major corporation, or something. Thanks for reading, Julie. I'll try to be a little more consistent. But generally speaking, my most consistent trait is my inconsistency. A second reader! That’s a 100% increase! With improvement like that, I should be running a major corporation, or something.

I came across your blog last year and have been following it ever since, and yes, Ed is right, it was time for another post. Keep them coming! (FYI- I don't write music. I'm a classically trained pianist, who injured her arm in college. God has graciously placed me in the Heartland of America teaching children's music in a Lutheran church.) I’m regular reader #2!!

The CS is a lot of work for me - but I always enjoy the week. I'm glad to hear I was a help to you. It's a good sign (to me, at least) that you are still working thru the ideas and concepts we talked about at the symposium. That tells me you went home with more information than just one week's worth. Keep writing! Becky – Your’e welcome – and thanks for the nice comments.
