"I hope you'll find my music diverse and eclectic.  Some of my choral works share similarities, but you may notice quite a bit of contrast as well.  Most pieces are anchored in tonality, but not all!  The music always reflects a careful interpretation of the text.  You'll find balance between original compositions and arrangements, sacred and secular, a cappella and accompanied, accessibility and challenge, and variety in instrumental colors.  I hope your experience with my music is rewarding and causes you to return for more."    ~ Brad Nelson
