Big News: We've Won a Grant! - June 11, 2008

We have received word that the Louisville Institute is supporting our "Psalms Without Words" project with a generous grant. The Institute is a grant-making organization of the Lilly Endowment, based on the campus of Louisville Presbyterian Seminary.

This is wonderful news! We will use the funds to convene and record our cohort of musicians as they interpret Bill's new compositions.

Stay tuned. This will push the project fast-forward, and we'll have much to share in the near future.

New Video Uploaded - March 28, 2008

Hi everybody - here's a fun little clip that we've compiled from a recent rehearsal session for the Psalms Without Words project. The accompanying tune is "Everybody Dance," an instrumental version of Psalm 150 that I've enjoyed putting together.

Just click the clip, and enjoy the tune!
