For more than ten years I have been a singer, chorus director, and arranger. I am not performing live in 2020–21, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
I previously sang with Constellation. That group is now retired.
Arranging: I arrange songs primarily for barbershop quartets, but my musical tastes often lead me far astray from typical barbershop songs. Below is a list of complete arrangements I have written. Several can be purchased from Harmony Marketplace. For all others, contact me, since either I’m selling them directly, or they are pending copyright clearance (in which case, clearance will need to be obtained before I can offer copies) — or are drafts that I wrote for my own enjoyment or education and haven’t officially published. I’ll be happy to help with obtaining the appropriate licenses for those, if your group wants to perform them; license costs usually run $50 to $75, plus a $1 to $2 per-copy fee.
Email me if you have questions about any of the following charts, or if you would like to commission a custom arrangement for your group.
“Who Will Sing For Me” is currently a special-order chart; to obtain it, you’ll need to contact the music library at BHS directly, as the terms of its license require it to be re-cleared for each group that wants to obtain the sheet music.
