I’ve written a number of pieces involving organ recently, and I’ve been immensely enjoying this medium. One of these pieces is a chorale prelude on “Jesu, Meine Freude,” one of the great German chorale tunes, written last year for organist Shannon Murphy, director of music at the First Presbyterian Church of Rutherford, NJ. The piece will be premiered on 21 April at 7 pm at The Church of St Paul the Apostle, NYC.

The piece was commissioned by Lee Ryder on the occasion of Shannon’s Master’s graduation. Lee has been a generous advocate for my works for many years now and I’m honored by her support!
