The River’s Song
Another instrumental rendition of an SATB choral work, words and music by me. In this video the picture (me playing) is within the picture of the score which tracks with the music. Usually, it’s the other way around. #music
The Dream of Love That’s Come
Our move is finally over and I’ve got my office (and my mind) more or less tidy enough to start back to work. The first project was to finish this anthem/song/whatever…
You can download the score at this link:
And you can listen to it here:
I’d love to get a grant that would pay the musicians, conductor, and studio to make a recording of the couple dozen anthems (hymns) I’ve written, but I really don’t know where to even apply for such a thing. My stuff’s too commercial and, doubly damned, it’s religious. Not promising for grants.
Until such a utopian future, I’ll have to satisfy myself with computerized orchestral demos, like this one. The score gives the words, so you’ll have to use your imagination.

Organ and Choir
There are some recent additions to my website in the Organ and Choir listing. If you get a chance, please listen, especially to the newer organ pieces. Of course, if you know any choir directors or organists who might be interesting in any of this, please forward them the link to this post. I’d love to get some performances.

New anthem
I’m working on a new set of anthems, all extremely easy, all on American Transcendentalist poems. These texts work very well for liberal congregations of any denomination, whether Protestant, Roman Catholic, Judaism, etc., in that they are theistic but not necessarily in an Abrahamic tradition, which also makes them appropriate for denominations such as Unitarian-Universalist or Unity. This is the first of this set of anthems.
| I Look to Thee in Ev’ry Need

Brightest and Best of the Stars of the Morning
First new piece of 2013–an Epiphany anthem! Unison & EZ SATB choral-style
The full score of this individual selection is available on the Choral sheet music page; a screenshot of the opening page is below.
The River’s Song for 2-part mixed chorus
The River’s Song
words and music by Hilton Kean Jones
2-part mixed
Very easy 2-part mixed. Appropriate for services with ecological themes, this anthem uses the literary device of female personification of the planet (the Gaia Principle)–piano or organ accompaniment. A more difficult, a cappella SATB, version is also available
The full score is available on the choral sheet music page; a screenshot of the opening page is below.
The Lost for 2-part mixed chorus
The Lost
words and music by Hilton Kean Jones
2-part mixed
An easy, romantic, blended anthem with a strong Celtic feel and an original text based on the three parables of the lost (the shepherd who seeks the sheep that wandered off, the woman who lost her coin, and the prodigal son), with a different twist on the stories–piano or organ accompaniment.
The full score is available on the choral sheet music page; a screenshot of the opening page is below.
