My husband and I sat with you at the Church Music Festival this spring, and we enjoyed talking with you very much. I wanted to tell you that I finally got the chance to perform your piece in sacrament meeting! I just love how you arranged “Master, the Tempest is Raging.” The piece is challenging but still reverent, evocative, unique, and classy. One of my favorite things about it is the extended ending, which allows the feeling of “peace, be still” to really settle in. Many ward members gave compliments. My Relief Society president, not a musician at all, told me that the song helped her imagine the wind and waves. My husband saw several people pull out their hymnals to read the words as I played. Several older gentlemen tearfully expressed their thanks for the song. A young father, who very recently had a stroke, said that when he listened to the music, he felt like everything was going to be all right for him. I had been practicing the piece for about a year, waiting for the right time to play it in church. I guess today was the right day. ? I thought you would like to know that your music made a difference in my ward today! Thanks for sharing your talents in such a personal way. Thanks for writing spiritual music that is fun for a trained pianist to play. I truly appreciate what you do!

I feel a need to thank you for your wonderful book, “Eventide.” I picked it up at Best in Music in Provo a year or so ago and started working on the music. I’m pretty accomplished, but these were all so fun and challenging. In the beginning some were just too weird and I left them alone, but after learning “Master, the Tempest is Raging,” I realized it was me who was weird. I had ignored “Come, Come Ye Saints,” but it is now one of my favorites. I love the change in the rhythm in these hymn arrangements, they are so fun to play and yet so, so beautiful. I hope there is another book of your arrangements in my future.

I played your arrangement of “Master, the Tempest is Raging” yesterday in our Sacrament Meeting, and the congregation seemed to love it, judging by their comments afterward. Three or four of them told me that it brought them to tears, and many said how beautiful your arrangement was. I love it because the music itself tells the story of the hymn. I first heard your arrangement at the February 2014 Church Music Festival, where I was in attendance. Thank you for writing such a beautiful arrangement. It was a wonderful experience to play it yesterday, and I enjoyed practicing it very much in the weeks before I was scheduled to do a piano solo.

Another lovely piece from a very talented artist! I love that your music can transport me to many different places depending on which song or hymn I listen to. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

What a blessing! Thanks for sharing your music again, Anne. This music (which I’ve been listening to several times) and your written description fits in perfectly with a lot of what I spoke about this morning in worship. It’s a true blessing this evening to experience a deepening of this morning’s message for my own journey. Just as I wrote that, ReverbNation started playing “Journey of Remembrance.” See? What a blessing! Peace be with you.

Thank you for the lovely arrangement of “I Need Thee Every Hour/Abide With Me; ‘Tis Eventide.” I am playing for a funeral in a week and, as several people are coming from out of town (and a few from out of country), I need a lot of prelude music, just in case they get lost from the airport. Much more than I have stashed away. The piece is perfect, especially as “I Need Thee” was one of my friend’s favourite hymns.

I’m so excited to play your music. I love listening to it while I’m getting ready in the mornings. Thank you for sharing and adding to my day in the very best way.

Thank you for sharing these lovely pieces.

Wow! What a completely different version to this well known hymn. I love the 12/8 time signature and the lively rhythm that goes with it – not at all what I expected. I like where it goes deeper and moody in the middle and then the original rhythm emerges towards the end. Fantastic talent – well done! [Review of “Welcome, Welcome, Sabbath Morning” from the 2015 Sacred Sheet Music Competition] 

Love your site!!!

I’m very excited to play the music as prelude for sacrament meeting, they are really beautiful arrangements!

I really appreciate simple, yet beautiful arrangements that are enjoyable for me to play as well as to listen to. You do it beautifully with your simple elegance and calm mood. Your talent brings a spirit to your music that’s refreshing.
