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 – 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, 1996-1997
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, 1995-1996
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, 1992-1993
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 …
LWCP, 1991-1992
LWCP – The Real Fun Begins! After three seasons’ worth of LWCP songs, I was out of the woods. The number of members who had not yet had songs written for them was under twenty (possibly under twelve), and so the frantic feeling based on realizing the magnitude of the task at hand was largely …
LWCP, 1990-1991
LWCP – Gathering Momentum The second volume of the Living Water Composition Project expressed a greater level of compositional maturity (at least in my own thinking). The previous year’s experience in writing music had been a good education, and so I had new tools and a better perception of what could (and could not!) be …
