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:

Yeah so its been like six months since I've made anything. I moved to Idaho back in May and haven't been an organist since I left Tennessee. The ladies that play in my ward do not like me. Put it this way, they wont even make eye contact with me. So petty jealousy aside, I volunteered to accompany the youth choir and was told to do a duet with a high school clarinet player. I was told it had to be a hymn with lyrics. Since it was just added to our new hymns, I chose what child is this. I took several creative liberties. The program isn't until the first Sunday of December so I'm sure I'll make changes but this is what I've thrown together in two days.
