MY ARRANGEMENTS

On this list you’ll find a number of songs whose titles are unfamiliar to you. I love to go through old sheet and find “gems” that make good material for our singers. If a song’s description sounds interesting to you, please feel free to request a preview copy. Everyone loves to sing a song that not everyone else is singing yet!

Song designations: (E) easy; (M) medium, (D) difficult If your quartet or chorus wishes a custom arrangement, please send me the sheet music. Fees for commissioned arrangements are determined prior to creation of the work.

E-mail me at [email protected] to request to see and/or hear “snippets” of some arrangements.
