Land of Rest
Just released by PBA Music Publishing of San Francisco.

"An arrangement of Jerusalem My Happy Home, this piece is stunning and beautiful to hear. The harmonies are close and sonorous at times and clear and spacious at others. The composer masterfully weaves in echoes of Amazing Grace in the third verse. The overall tone of the piece hearkens to English Choral writing that is fresh and clean."
