“Little Niagara” is beautiful. Anne’s virtuosity streams over the falls and runs the delightful course of the river. Thanks for sharing!

Maranda Carpenter
Love this arrangement of “How Great Thou Art” for piano duet! I’m using it for a competition piece next year.
Chad Staten
One of the sisters played “Master, the Tempest Is Raging” in our stake conference adult session last night. This is not one of my favorite hymn tunes in the book, but I quite enjoyed this arrangement. The symbolism and imagery apparent in your piano setting really transform an otherwise tedious melody and really make it engaging and fresh! Thank you!
Kathy Dalton, Willis, VA
I absolutely love “Silver Creek” – it’s very beautiful. You have a gift for movement of harmony. I will be on the lookout for your book.
Steve & Irene Bergstedt, Central Point, OR
Thank you for the gift of your beautifully arranged CD and how you interpreted the music! What a gifted pianist and musician you are! Your music brings such peace and comfort, and invites the Spirit into our home. We love the selections and the inspirational way you play!
Raymond Griffin
Thank you so much for this arrangement of “Does the Journey Seem Long?” After learning about the life of Joseph Fielding Smith and his experiences which inspired the words he wrote for this song, I can’t hear it the same anymore. This arrangement invites the Spirit in such a way that it is hard to keep my composure. This arrangement is simply beautiful. Thank you so much for putting in the time to make an ordinary hymn that very few know about into something special.
Julie Markham, Provo, UT
I have been working on music from your “Christmas Eve” book for several months. I deeply love “We Three Kings.” Several other favorites in this book are “Mary’s Lullaby” and “Away in a Manger/Infant Holy, Infant Lowly.” The latter goes through my head all day long, in a good way. I am now working on “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.” I had to get out my metronome, but it’s been worth it. Of course “The Messiah Medley” was the first I learned, and some of those melodies, such as “He Shall Feed His Flock,” should be a separate arrangement of their own (please!). This has been an unusual Christmas season for me, with enough time to practice and learn these pieces. I attend church in a small branch where there is no organ, just a piano, so I have been able to use this music for prelude and postlude this month. I have books galore of Christmas music, and this is the only one I have used this holiday season. Thank you, thank you, thank you for creating such beautiful and yet challenging arrangements.
Marcia Koopmann
Thank you for the stirring piano version of “A Mighty Fortress.” Your arrangement truly matches the words and meaning of the hymn. God bless.
Holly
I have listened to “Journey of Remembrance” and am now very excited about practicing this beautiful song. Thank you!
Amaree Matthews, Port Orchard, WA
I discovered some of Anne’s music in the music library at LDS.org. The powerful emotions expressed in “Does the Journey Seem Long?” and “I Need Thee Every Hour/Abide With Me, ‘Tis Eventide” have the ability to stir my soul and fill me with peace and calm as I (very slowly) play through them. I was thrilled tonight to discover this webpage and listen to the vastly different genres that she is able to quite adeptly compose! I can’t wait to listen to and play more of Anne’s music!
Liz Hoggan
Thank you for your beautiful arrangement of “The Lord Is My Shepherd“! We sang it as a duet and it was so pretty. I absolutely love the beautiful accompaniment to such a well known hymn. It just made it special.
Mary Gerstner, Topeka, KS
I play piano at the Stormont Vail Cancer Center every Monday from 10 to 11:30 and I enjoy it so much because they are so appreciative. I like to sprinkle your stuff in among my selections because they are recognizable and perky. Makes everyone feel good!
