A sensitive setting of the traditional tune to a much loved Christian hymn.

Songs of Healing: Hymns for Classical Guitar

Amazing Grace

A quiet, reflective song reminding us that the Spirit is with us always, urging us forward.

By My Side

An arrangement for classical guitar of the tune for well-known and loved traditional Christian hymn. The tune is a Silesian folk tune collected and first published in 1842.

Fairest Lord Jesus

An arrangement for classical guitar of this well-known American folk song from the early 19th century, probably originating with fur traders along the Missouri River.

Shenandoah

A short interlude written originally for classical guitar; I decided to slow it down and record it on electric guitar with significant reverb. I think it works, and has an ethereal sound to it. Maybe this is what Dick Dale would sound like if he were alive today. :-)

Interlude 4 Arpeggios (Electric)

A short piece for classical guitar, over a recurring bass line, a technique used by composers for hundreds of years. One of a set of seven interludes I've written for guitar (so far). Scores are available for free on my website, magnoliaarts.com.

Interlude 1 - Passacaglia

My arrangement and recording, for classical guitar, of this classic Advent hymn.

Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus

A improvised guitar piece for my wife, recorded live. The guitar is a Collings steel string, OM2H German spruce, 2008.

For Lan Meng

An arrangement of this Christian hymn (tune=Gartan) I created for performance at my church. Since we're online now, I had the opportunity to double-track the recording. it was for the Offertory, so it's less than two minutes.

Love Came In At Christmas (GARTAN)

An arrangement for two guitar of the lovely second movement of this concerto for lute by Antonio Vivaldi, written in the early 18th century. The accompaniment, as much as possible, imitates the chordal sound of a lute or theorbo playing chords from a figured bass line, which is probably how it would have been done at the time, if it was played by two lutes.
