"Sunrise Along Shore" (mixed choir version) was recently accepted into the prestigious PROJECT : ENCORE database administered by Schola Cantorum on Hudson, a leading professional choir based in Jersey City, NJ. With entries vetted by an international panel of prominent conductors, this acceptance represents a significant endorsement of quality as the project seeks to promote "beautiful, compelling, and powerful new works that have every right to be welcomed into standard performance repertory."

This version of the work recasts an original version for 2-part treble choir, commissioned in 2009 by the Syracuse Children's Chorus, Dr. Barbara M. Tagg, Founder and Director Emeritus, to celebrate 29 years of artistic collaboration with pianist Alice Valentine.

"I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say" was given a lovely performance by the choir at Bethesda Lutheran Church in New Haven, CT. Led by Music Director and Organist Lars Gjerde, the anthem appeared during worship service on September 8, 2013. The same work will also be performed on October 6, 2013, by the beautiful choir at The Original Congregational Church in Wrentham, MA, led by Music Director Marjorie Kellner.

Later this season, on November 3, 2013, the choir and instrumental soloists from Bethesda Lutheran Church, again led by Dr. Gjerde, will perform "Oh, What Their Joy" during worship service. This anthem pairs an alternate text with the music of "Faith is Believing, the Promise is True!" (available here).
