Behold! A Royal Army
I just finished up my SATB choral piece of "Behold! A Royal Army." I am putting it on my blog before my website because I'm having some issues with my site. Anyways, here is the sheet music.

Music Competition
I am putting all crafts on hold for the moment to finish up a song I am entering in the annual music competition for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. If you want to enter at any time in the future here is the link for guidelines and an entry form.
Here is a primary song I wrote for the competition two years ago. It is themed for Thanksgiving.
The song I am writing to enter this year is for a youth choir and the theme I'm working on is stand in holy places. I will definitely post it later, probably sometime in the summer. Wish me luck!

Triplets

No, not 3 babies, I'm talking music! Here's my first post on a musical tip. When it comes to arranging music I've found that to really make the last verse (or the climax) of your arrangement more powerful , add triplets to the left hand accompanying the right hand's melody.
Going from eighth notes, or other rhythms, to triplets just gives the piece energy and movement. In the final verse of my Nearer, My God to Thee arrangement, I even added triplets into the melody while the left hand held half notes. This proved to be the most powerful part of my song. I get chills every time I play it.
Triplets, when used at the right place and the right time, can turn an ok piece into a memorable piece.
