Sacred Summer Songfest

Who: YOU

What: Commission composer and arranger Andy Davidson to write a FREE customizable sacred arrangement for your voice, instrument, or ensemble. Your arrangement will then be published on this website for all to enjoy!

When: Request submissions are open all Summer until September 23, 2024.

Where: Submit your request with no hassle directly from your phone or computer.

Why: My mission is to further develop my composition technique by providing quality hymn arrangements for musicians of a variety of levels looking for new music to perform in the concert hall, in church, in the school, or in media. I believe that music is a gift from God to be enjoyed in a world of darkness as we joyfully anticipate the coming return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

How: Simply fill out the brief form below and submit! I will reach out to each requester to consult on their arrangement as necessary. Once finished, the requester will receive an expirable email containing a copy of the score and parts for their new unique arrangement. The sheet music will then be published on this website for everyone else to enjoy!
