More about Brian Richey:
I am not a professional musician. My background is medicine. I just happened to learn piano when I was 8 and despite only a few years of piano lessons (because my piano teacher suffered from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or ALS) my theory and technique never got past the "Bastian Level 3 series." That, however, did NOT stop my branch president father from calling me to be primary pianist at age 9 then sacrament pianist at 12. When I turned 19 and called to a mission in SLC-South, I came to learn Wilberg's music as well as James Kasen. I listen to their compositions and try to emulate in my works. After being ward organist for over 22+ years, I take the hymn from the hymn book and "embellish" it as Wilberg, Murphy, and other talented musicians do for us at every General Conference and/or Music & The Spoken Word. I try to add dynamics to the meeting and bring out the spirit with my music. Am I professional? No. Am I any good? Well that depends if anyone else can play in my ward. In this instance, they don't. There are several hymns that I have not arranged yet. As hymns are selected (like over the past 4 years), I try to create a new arrangement in time for Sunday's service. I believe music should be shared and this is to enhance worship- it is not mine but the Almighty. This is my way or praising and I hope you see it my way as well. Cheers.

Song background:

I heard an arrangement from James Kasen over a decade ago and instantly feel in love with this sacrament hymn. It became my all time favorite. But how in the world do you arrange something when someone else done so perfectly? Its hard. I tried incorporating his arrangement when sung during sacrament but have been told that it takes away from the meaning of the lyrics when you alter. Just as other organist do, they ignore critics and continue with what they feel best brings out spirit in a piece. Knowing James Kasen brings out tears in those singing his piece, this is my attempt to replicate (not DUPLICATE) his work. Enjoy.
