 I began
arranging hymns shortly before leaving on an LDS mission to the California,
Santa Rosa Mission. I found a love for taking hymns that have common
themes and working them together into medleys. Occasionally I associated
with people while in California who would ask me to make a tape of
a few of my arrangements, so on my preparation day I would take a
little tape recorder to the local church and record myself. These
kinds of things continued after my mission, so I decided to fulfill
one of my dreams of producing my own CD.
 When
I arrange hymns, I will often read through the lyrics to internalize
the message of the song. I then mold my arrangement around the feelings
and impressions I feel so that whoever listens to it will hopefully
receive the same message through my solo piano arrangement.
 In the medley,
Praying More Earnestly, I take the hymn that tells Joseph Smith's
story and tie it into a song that pulls out a principle I feel strongly
about - prayer. I see Joseph going through struggles trying to figure
out which church to join. Then, one day he was taught an important
principle in James 1:5. And his story teaches us an important principle
when we have questions: Did You Think To Pray?
 Most hymns
are reverent and somber, but there are a few that are upbeat and
highly motivating. I arranged the hymn Choose the Right to inspire
confidence in what D&C 21:4-6 promises - that the Heavens Will Shake
for your good when you obey the commandments. I think you'll feel
that power when you hear this arrangement.

"Wonderfully written, very poignant and beautiful variations of hymns and other music. You will be amazed at how peaceful this music makes you feel! All the pieces are beautifully written, and calming - but very poignant. Feelings are very powerful and real in this music."
