Basses and altos, rejoice! In response to popular demand for solos written for lower voices, Grate Music presents Nathan Howe’s new solo arrangement of the Crusader’s Hymn, also known as Beautiful Savior or Fairest Lord Jesus. A higher version for baritone and mezzo types will be released soon. Get it through our solos page.
You have already heard the piano music to Nathan Howe’s new solo Miracle of Faith on the YFE 2006 video from BYU Idaho. Now you can download the MP3 and hear the full song with vocals by David Macfarlane and piano by Nathan Howe through LDSmusic.us.
It took a bit more than a week, but new music is back, with an arrangement of the beloved hymn Abide with Me now available on gratemusic.com and LDSmusic.us. Nathan Howe has arranged it for TTBB chorus and baritone solo, and this arrangement may also be used as a baritone solo with piano or organ playing the chorus parts. Get it through the Choral Music page.
Also, we have added a song index to gratemusic.com. You can find any available piece on gratemusic.com or LDSmusic.us, listed by title.
After our extended winter vacation, new music will begin once more next week on gratemusic.com and LDSmusic.us. While you wait, check out our exciting news!
First, at 7:30 the evening of Friday, 9 February 2007, the annual Church Music Festival is happening at the Assembly Hall on Temple Square. A choir will be performing When Godly Sorrow Moves the Soul, which received an award of distinction in the Church Music Contest for 2006. If you are around Salt Lake, feel free to come and listen. It is not a large venue, so be sure to get there early. If you do come, please come and say hello after the performance. Both David Macfarlane and Nathan Howe will be in attendance. Details are on the calendar at LDS.org
Secondly, Nathan Howe has written a song, Miracle of Faith, to accompany a video produced by BYU-Idaho to promote its YFE program. You can view the video on their website: http://www.byui.edu/ce/youth/video/yfevideo.htm.
Sorry for the long delay in releasing new music. We have been quite busy on the technical end of things. Gratemusic.com has been completely redesigned for easier navigation and future growth. Have a look around and contact us with your feedback.
We proudly announce the release of a new Christmas carol, Peaceful the Night, available through our hymns page. With lyrics by David Macfarlane and music for SATB voices by Nathan Howe, this carol addresses not only the nativity of Christ, but his role as our creator and redeemer as well as his second coming.
