Summer 2008 - The website has gotten its semi-annual update! Apologies to those who had virus trouble with the site recently. I have no idea what happened, and neither does my ISP. I hope it's fixed now. Look for downloads of Sources scores in that section, as well as newly published works from Santa Barbara Music and Yelton Rhodes Music.

We are expecting the arrival of our 2nd daughter in late August. Please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers during this time of excitement and expectation.

The Sources Cantata was performed at General Assembly 2008, under the direction of Dr. Jo-Michael Scheibe. Video of the performance can be found here.
