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.

So for 2023, it is expected that I write a christmas piece or arrange one. I have nor the time or the creativity to do so. For our combined ward christmas program, I've decided to do one of Mack Wilberg's christmas pieces. I love his Wexford Carol as much as First Nowell but for the other I need an hand or 5 extra fingers because 10 doesn't get the job done. I have enjoyed Wexford Carol for over 15 years when I heard it on the first presidency devotional sometime between 2006-2010 (I know I had kids somewhere in that time period). So here is my attempt to make an organ solo out of it. I haven't had a chance to play it through on the organ- I'll have to wait til the chapel is empty. Also, the key is a bit tricky.
