Merry Christmas

I love Christmas! I especially love the sacred music this season brings, because it bears witness of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. There is something magical about hearing the voices of little children singing Christmas songs. Years ago I directed a children’s performance group consisting of three different age groups. For the youngest group of children to sing at the first Christmas concert, I wrote a short, delightful little song, entitled, “One Bright Star“. I decided to put it on my website this Christmas, and so I asked my adorable little 5 year old granddaughter, Lindsy Sue to learn and record it. Every time I listen to her singing this song, it makes me smile, because Lindsy is like a bright, shining star. She has been singing and amazing listeners since she was barely three years old. At just age four, she also recorded “Nowhere Else On Earth”, found in the children’s album and in Volume Two.

Joseph Smith Choir Arrangements

It has come to my attention that both songs, “This Is Joseph” and my arrangement of “Praise To The Man“, about Joseph Smith, need to pull up when a person is looking for an LDS song about the prophet Joseph Smith. I bear my witness that I know he was a true prophet of God and that he restored the true Church of Jesus Christ to the earth!

PEACE

“The Rock of Our Redeemer“, another recent conference talk about peace, was beautiful and comforting. “Through The Prince of Peace” in Volume One, “So Will I Comfort You“, compliments this talk so perfectly.

Conference Talks

Sharon — Thu, 27 May 2010 03:00:31 +0000

I loved the April 2010 General Conference talks, and I am gaining so much from reading at least part of a conference talk every morning, after I read in the Book of Mormon. I especially loved Russell M. Ballard’s talk, entitled, “Mothers and Daughters” and his talk two years ago, “Daughters of God“, (found in the May 2008 Ensign, p.g 108-10); and realized that my song, “Daughters of God Above“, complimented these beautiful talks perfectly. This Mother’s Prayer and Young Women’s Mission are also a perfect compliment to these talks.

LISTEN WORLD!

A terrible tragedy occured here in Utah, where an innocent little boy was tortured, killed, and his little body desecrated by his stepfather and mother. Every decent person has been affected and appalled that such a crime could ever take place! We all pray for comfort and understanding. The world needs to listen to the words of this beautiful song, “Jesus Loves The Precious Little Children.” Let us all protect and watch over the Lord’s little ones.

HAPPY REUNION!

Sharon — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 12:45:10 +0000

My heart is rejoicing this morning, because our youngest son is returning this Friday from his mission to Hong Kong. What a happy reunion it will be! It makes me think about the wonderful reunion we will have, when if we repent and live righteously, we return into our Heavenly Father’s arms. Also, how grateful we should all be for our Savior’s resurrection, which makes it possible for all of us to live again after death. What glorious reunions we will have with those of our loved ones, who have passed on to the other side! One morning a few years ago, I awakened early on a spring morning, hearing the birds singing their little hearts out, just outside my bedroom window. The melody and lyrics to a beautiful, new song began streaming into my mind. “Joy Cometh In The Morning” was born that day. It’s an inspired song about the resurrection and will be coming out, as part of Volume Three, “Believe In Christ”, within the next couple of weeks.

HAPPY EASTER!

Sharon — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 14:27:02 +0000

Happy Easter to one and all! I bear my witness to the world that our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ lives! I know this! I also know that because He lives, we too, will be resurrected. Take a few moments to listen to and read the lyrics to Easter/Millennial Hosanna, That Easter Morning, I Know That My Redeemer Lives, and He Sent His Son.

Choral Edition, Volume Three

Sharon — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 13:01:22 +0000

Those of you, who are searching for new sacred choir music, will be excited about my next new volume, “Believe In Christ”; which is forthcoming within the next couple of weeks. An album full of exciting new, original SATB and SSA musical gems, some of the songs are suitable for ward choir and sacrament meeting performance, and others will be thrilling numbers, when performed by larger SSAATTBB choirs in Stake Conference and larger settings. All of these pieces have two things in common: They are scripturally and doctrinely correct, and they bear witness of the Savior’s truths. This new upcoming volume differs from the other ones, in that scriptural referencing and vocals will not be present. However, piano recordings of each piece will give everyone a good idea of tempo and interpretation. These sound recordings will be attached to each song purchased, for the price of the sheet music alone. Then, hopefully, people will be honest, by purchasing additional .50 copy licenses for the number of copies they need for choir performance.
