More about Brian Richey:
I have been ward organist for over twenty years. Recently, I decided to start arranging hymns during service to enchance the spirit and overall feeling of the sacrament service. It was during my mission to Salt Lake City that I came to know Mack Wilberg and his beautiful arrangements. I started looking forward to GC just so I could hear his new music. Then Ryan Murphy came along and the music became better and better each conference. Just so everyone knows, what I do is write arrangements for each Sunday to accompany the congregation as they sing and I share it with you. My goal is to have my own hymn book. I'm at about 100/350 so far. Thanks to Jim Kasen, with or without his encouragement or scolding critiques, I wouldn't be doing this. I hope you enjoy. P.S. I've been doing this for about 3 years now. Its obvious which ones I did 3 years ago and what I'm doing now. With the new Musescore 4, I'm sure the pieces will become more and more dynamic.
So here's the background on this piece. I heard the tab choir sing this piece and fell in love with it. Last year I arranged this piece but never played it due to ice storm we had on Christmas Day (Sunday). Then, after Thanksgiving, I planned on this piece for this year but expanding it and making it even closer to Wilbergs version with introduction, interlude and postlude. Then, 2 weeks ago a Tornado ripped through our town and church was cancelled. No big deal, I was planning on playing it for the Christmas eve service as it was my wards turn to conduct the combined service. Only to find out a week ago (week prior) the other ward took over and their organist is playing. Ugh. So, after hours of rewrite, I never finished it until today. I spent the second half of Christmas making this version easy enough to play on the organ while keeping it in the same key of G. I guess there is always next year unless there is a Respiratory Syncytial Virus Pandemic of 2024!!
