history of world religions in 90 seconds

This doesn't show the spread of specific denominations or acknowledge any of the minor (yet significant) religions of the world, but it's quite interesting and worth the minute and a half that it takes to run.

New Noisebox today. This song had an interesting little process - David and I recorded our parts several hundred miles away from each other, and then I mixed them together here.

Miracle of Faith

You have already heard the piano music to Nathan Howe's new solo Miracle of Faith on the YFE 2006 video from BYU Idaho. Now you can download the MP3 and hear the full song with vocals by David Macfarlane and piano by Nathan Howe through LDSmusic.us. Miracle of Faith celebrates the contribution of the early pioneers and the importance of building our own faith for the benefit of future generations.


Thanks for Listening.

Here's the latest Noisebox. This one took quite a while due to the current busy circumstances of my life at the moment.

Volume 2 Issue 2
Abide with Me

It took a bit more than a week, but new music is back, with an arrangement of the beloved hymn Abide with Me now available on gratemusic.com and LDSmusic.us. Nathan Howe has arranged it for TTBB chorus and baritone solo, and this arrangement may also be used as a baritone solo with piano or organ playing the chorus parts.

During our long vacation, we have upgraded the site in several ways, including easier navigation and updated browser compliance. Also, we have added a song index to gratemusic.com. You can find any available piece on gratemusic.com or LDSmusic.us, listed by title.

back to work, almost

After our extended winter vacation, new music will begin once more next week on gratemusic.com and LDSmusic.us. While you wait, check out our exciting news!First, at 7:30 the evening of Friday, 9 February 2007, the annual Church Music Festival is happening at the Assembly Hall on Temple Square. A choir will be performing When Godly Sorrow Moves the Soul, which received an award of distinction in the Church Music Contest for 2006. If you are around Salt Lake, feel free to come and listen. It is not a large venue, so be sure to get there early. If you do come, please come and say hello after the performance. Both David Macfarlane and Nathan Howe will be in attendance. Details are on the calendar at LDS.org

Secondly, Nathan Howe has written a song, Miracle of Faith, to accompany a video produced by BYU-Idaho to promote its YFE program. You can view the video on their website: http://www.byui.edu/ce/youth/video/yfevideo.htm.
