"Spirit of Our God" Published by OCP
OCP (Oregon Catholic Press) has accepted "Spirit of Our God" for publication! I am thrilled and grateful to have one of my pieces available in their collections, and will update you as to timetables for release in their catalog.
This does mean, at least for the time being, that "Spirit of Our God" will not be available from me. I hope to be able to offer it again soon within the terms of my contract.
Finally, I do have the necessary permission to include it on the upcoming album, so even if it's temporarily "out of print," it won't be out of earshot. =)

What is "the Colossian Call?" It's the call to let the Word of Christ dwell richly with us; to teach each other in God's Wisdom; to sing "hymns, psalms, and inspired songs;" and to give praise to God through our Lord Jesus Christ. A new and dynamic song of gathering, inspired by Colossians 3:12–17. Visit the Compositions page for demos and sample scores today!
