Good day,
I am a member of the Open in Spirit to God Prayer Group based in the Holy Spirit Parish located in Barrie, Ontario, CAnada.
I would deeply appreciate if you can advise how I can order on line a copy of the piano music sheet for Gary Ault's "All That We Have" music.
Thank you and God bless.

Alex, I'll take a look at it. Good to hear from you again. Blessings on your and yours.

Hi Richard,
I meant the church as a crutch in a way that it can help you walk through life even if you feel wounded. However in case it is misinterpreted by the listener I can change it.
Author: Richard Schletty
Hope is what we all need. You express it well – the gifts that God gives us all.
"Let GOD be the bandage and the church your crutch..."
I prefer to think of the church as a strong support for a person. I hope you meant it that way. "Crutch" can have a negative connotation.

Hi Richard,
I have just added lyrics for a track I wrote called "Stronger Together" which I think your voicing would do the words great justice. Good to hear from you again. Alex.

Hi Richard,
Thank you for taking the time to download and read my lyrics. I'm really glad you liked them and thank you for your kind words. I added a new link to Amazon.com where it's the same content just structured a bit better as the link I originally posted is the unedited version. I would love for you to do more voicings but I realise your a very busy man. So great to hear from you and GOD Bless to you and your family....

Alex, I downloaded your free anthology of hip-hop poems. Nice to see them all in one place. You pour your heart out in these, giving strong testimony to the power of Christ in your life. Best wishes to you and your loved ones. Let me know if you want more voicings. Sorry that I faded away for awhile. I've got too much on my three spinning plates.

Hi Richard,
I was thinking of recording a album with my own voice and beats. Once it's done I would like to share it online (here especially). I guess I just slightly doubt my ability to do good catholic hip hop by myself completely as my past experience with hip hop has only been the mainstream stuff before I was baptized last year and started changing things in my life including what I protitized. Thanks for...

Alex, it's been real busy here but I'll try to find some time to voice a few more tracks for you. I hope my recordings provide not so much a "template" for styling as they do an inspiration. I hope you or your friends will give it a go soon with your own hip-hop voicings. I'm excited to hear what you come up with. Be yourself!
Author: Alexander John
Hi Richard,
I have some more written rough tracks that I was wondering if you wanted to voice once I have gone over them and fixed them up? Hope you have been well. Kind Regards. Alex.

Happy New Year to you, too, Alex. I also hope to see more sharing and engagement here at TCS. I've been real busy with work, family and Christmas season music. But I want to get back to our Hip-Hop project. Expect word from me soon.

Ken;
The songs on your Adoration CD are beautiful. I play classical guitar solos as meditation pieces during our Catholic Masses here in Decatur, Illinois. I'm always looking for new arrangements to play especially ones that speak to me as yours did. Do you have the sheet music for your arrangements available for sale?
Your parish is fortunate to have you in their music ministry.
Thanks for your help and may 2018 bring you many blessings.
Thanks, Mike

Lumen Hilare sings with voices of angels. A nice, balanced blend that calms the soul. I went to the internet to read more about St. Louis de Montfort and Maria Boguslawska. Hardly anything in English can be found about Maria. I found this at Wikepedia about St. Louis de Montfort:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_de_Montfort
"While the saint is best known for his spiritual writings, he was also a poet and during his missions managed to compose more than 20,000 verses of hymns. ...

Jack, thanks for your kind comments, my good friend-in-music. Too bad we can't get this joint hopping the way macjams.com used to hop. Best to you.

Gotta say, the country (soft rock?) version grabs me. That said, both hit the right note. Wonderful lyrics. Sung and spoken spot on by Richard. Really nice guitar work on V2, Richard...

Yes, it is a song sent from on high. Both the organist and the vocalist on this recording are very good. Have you recorded pieces before?
If you don't mind, I'd like to post the credits and lyrics here (which you have in the YouTube video):
Love is Patient

Vocals by: Andrea Leluika

Song was written by our late Mother who died this year which was very divinely inspired! and being a musician recently recorded it for all to enjoy for free!
Author: Richard Schletty
Yes, I did see that in your description. I just wasn't sure if you had paraphrased anything. I should have listened carefully with my New Testament open to Corinthians. What is your goal with the piece? Is the sheet music for sale anywhere?

I agree...
Lovely and interesting words.

I'd like to redo some of the tracks I posted based on the things I learned along the way trying to do "God Hop" or "Hip Chant." Call it what you will, I think there are some particularly good moments. I'd like to replicate that groove consistently to create for you a resonant album of 10-12 poem-songs.

Alex, let me get back to you soon. I'll give you my ideas and recommendations. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing this song. Voice and organ are nicely composed and performed. It would be nice to see the lyrics. Is sheet music available?
Author: Richard Schletty
Congratulations, Mark! That s good news, indeed. Your band lives on.

Update! This song just won an award! Read about that here on our blog:

In the 1960s we lived in Shrewsbury MO. Bob was a family friend and frequent guest in our home.
I have been trying to track Bob down. When he lived in Shrewsbury his roommate was "Rod"...I don't remember his last name. I was about 15.
I have a grainy photograph of Bob playing a piano for my brothers and sisters.
any help would be appreciated.

Hey Richard, sounds good. Very old school hip hop feel. For somebody fairly new to the delivery of hip hop I'm very impressed. Hope you are well. GOD Bless.
