While my role is to perfect the audio fidelity, I’ve been wholly edified by the years of Dan’s research and writing of this daily production.

We were blessed to record an excellent Easter concert for the combined choirs Trinity Lutheran Sheboygan - Church, School, Childcare, and Sheboygan Lutheran High School.

Vierne's "Messe solennelle" was particularly challenging, with massed choirs, a chamber orchestra playing the choir organ in arrangement, and a grand organ.

It's the big day! The new CPH Music has been released for choir, handbells, organ, and keyboard. Check out the choral recordings I completed for them in the updated playlist, and the rest of their releases are available on Youtube and music streaming platforms.

We were pleased once again to record new choral pieces for CPH Music. With the 16-voice choir, we delighted in a ca****la works and a diversity of instrumentation: piano or organ, horn, oboe, and a 20-piece orchestra. These will be available later in the spring of 2024.

Happy Reformation Day! Enjoy a hymn setting recorded by yours truly.

This was one of my favorites of recent years. It's fragile and tenuous initially but ends with great confidence and strength.

I loved the opportunity to record a little Praetorius piece. Delightful!

Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne-CTSFW’s Good Shepherd Institute is an annual event promoting church music, liturgy, and pastoral care. This year’s events posed particular challenges for varied instrumentation, including congregational singing, brass, percussion, wind band, and the majestic organ. There are the practical challenges of avoiding camera angles for the livestream. The off center tall stand is less than ideal but the spot mics and ambient capture balances the mix well.

I recorded organist Richard Ewert playing improvisations and works on two hymns. These selections will be used for musical interludes on a future audiobook project for Lexham Press.

Gear: Merging Technologies Anubis Premium, Pueblo Audio pres, Josephson Engineering C617 distant omni pair, Sennheiser MKH8040 close cardioid spaced pair.

We'll once again be capturing these events for archival use. It's a joy to attend and new challenges each year!
