LWCP – Other Horizons Open Up I managed to write a couple of new songs… but “only two” was distinctly unsatisfying. So I really need to put out some more effort next season! I decided that a bit of diversion might be helpful;between circumstances and the amount of energy I’d been expending on choral writing, …

LWCP, 2000-2001
LWCP – Hoping This was another high-load year, especially with going through being laid off for the first (and hopefully the last!) time – the tech sector’s downturn cascaded through a huge number of companies, and so I was a victim of the economic situation. But God continued to provide, and now I’m in a …

LWCP – A Bit More Progress This was a difficult year to write music because I found myself fairly involved with administrative duties at church, plus all the other “normal” responsibilities I assume and I took a job with a dot-com. But we all know the story of the dot-coms… too bad! Thankfully, there are …
LWCP, 1998-1999
LWCP – Looking Back I have to admit that I was really, really busy with other things during this season – eight tutoring students, plus some fair level of involvement with my brother’s company as the head geek. But maybe it was good for me… I needed a sort of sabbatical after nine straight years …

LWCP – Rejoicing The ninth year of the Living Water Composition Project seemed to be more of an extension of the previous year’s work than a separate entity of its own (well, duh…). But in many ways it did indeed have a character of its own. For one thing, two of the songs, “No Matter …

LWCP – Explorations The eighth volume of the Living Water Composition Project was a more satisfying one. I made time to write a decent number of songs (Volume 7 was a little disappointing in this respect – only!). Also, I think that the music in this set of songs has more of the peculiar charm …

LWCP – Seeking New Vistas The seventh year of the Living Water Composition Project was a busy, busy one in many ways other than music. I got into working on Choraegus more (and actually made some sales!), worked quite a bit on this website, and returned to the Valley Church handbell choir, among other things. …

LWCP – More Adventures The sixth year of the Composition Project definitely was an interesting one in that there was a lot more stylistic exploration on my part. The five songs were in Gospel, contemporary, Sixties traditional choral, a cappella choral, and quasi-hip hop styles; I found this to be rather remarkable in retrospect – …
LWCP, 1993-1994
LWCP – Well-Established Although there were “only” five songs in the fifth volume of the Living Water Composition Project, it was interesting because they covered such a wide style range. The LWCP songs appear to be remarkable in their stylistic latitude, but the new entries this year stretched the envelope even farther. For instance, “Sojourner’s …

LWCP – The Fun Continues The fourth set of Living Water Composition Project songs was smaller than any of the previous three years; in fact, it was only slightly more than half the numeric output of the year before and only a third of the second year. As far as I could tell, however, the …
