Description
for SATB and organ or piano
How excellent is an upbeat and celebratory work setting the composer's own paraphrase of Psalm 8. It features exciting and declamatory opening and closing sections with a contrastingly calm and legato central section, evoking this well-known scriptural text. The accompaniment should ideally be played on organ, but piano may be used if necessary.

His work as a pianist, as well as his artistic collaboration with Grammy-award-winning vocalist Cynthia Clawson, has taken him around the world, performing in churches, conferences, and leading concert halls. He and lyricist Keith Ferguson have found success through their popular musical adaptations of It's a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol.
