Shepherd Me, O God

Please enjoy this outstanding musical expression of Psalm 23 by Marty Haugen, one of my favorite praise musicians.

Ave Maria

In the Catholic tradition, May is the month of Mary, Mother of God. Of the many songs written to celebrate and honor her, Ave Maria is one of the most popular. There are many different versions: Biebl, Schubert, Gounod, Bach, Caccini to name a few. My personal favorite is Gounod (the one in this video), with Schubert closely behind. Last Sunday at my church our choir director sung the first verse of Schubert with organ accompaniment, and I and another clarinetist dueted melody and harmony on the second verse, also with organ accompaniment.
