In 1994 I self-published a collection of 59 hymns and chants entitled "Hail Mary!", obviously aimed at the Roman Catholic market, and since then have published four more volumes of songs: "Sunshine After Rain", "I Give You My Life", "Slowly But Surely" and "Song of Jubilee". The latter books have tended towards religious "pop" songs rather than staid congregational hymns, in such styles as rock and roll, funk, disco, reggae, blues, folk rock, doo-wop, cha-cha and R & B.
I have also composed a few instrumental pieces in the flamenco, jazz and ambient/new age idioms.

You can see most of my hymns at my SibeliusMusic website (http://members.sibeliusmusic.com/tomeslam), including the thirty songs proposed for my CD "THREE IN 001". Click on the bottom four 'books' starting from "I Give You My Life". To hear the sheet music play, click the play button. To hear the MP3 version of the song's arrangement, click "Listen to MP3" near the top of the webpage. Because it uses a streaming media player, you'll require a fast internet connection.

N.B. The first time you attempt to view the sheet music on any particular computer, you will need to install a plug-in called "Scorch" into your Internet browser. To do so, simply click the yellow warning bar at the top of the screen or the "get Scorch" box on the left side of the screen. Once having installed Scorch, you can then play the song as mentioned above and even print the score if you have a printer attached to your PC. Internet cafes normally have such printing services also.

The demo below, "I've Been Keeping a Secret", was sung by Australian Idol 2007 finalist Miss Alana Krost. Although she sings the song in tune, she has very little emotion in her delivery. http://www.sibeliusmusic.com/mp3/4/2/5/42524.mp3 Right-click and choose "Save Target As" to download the MP3 file.

If you like the above hymn and would like to audition as a prospective vocalist, you are invited to submit a demo tape or CD to me at the address on my Contact page. Alternatively, you may send an MP3 via email. The demo need not be particularly good audio quality.

I am hoping my vocalists will be ready to record the CD sometime during 2010.
