Commission

Commissions are unique and powerful gifts to communities celebrating major milestones or simply to communities in need of a song for a particular ritual moment or occasion. 

 

The commissioning process is a very intentional one which takes many months to complete. Tony's commissions have included songs celebrating the anniversaries of major universities, a piece celebrating the anniversary of the foundation of a religious order, and a Psalm for a Papal Mass. Throughout the process, Tony works closely with the person or community commissioning the piece to craft something that is meaningful for the community and/or occasion.

 

If you are interested in commissioning a piece, contact Tony directly with inquiries. Cost and timeline vary depending on the scope of the project and the amount of arrangement necessary. Due to the time and energy invested in this process, Tony typically takes on a maximum of two commissions per year.

Workshop

Tony's approach to workshops and talks unites his musical gifts, his rich theological knowledge, and his pastoral sensitivity to the realities of the contemporary church. Recent talks have centered on the Eucharist as the source of Christian discipleship; the spirituality of the liturgical minister; the Psalms as the prayerbook of liturgical musicians, and more. Topics are determined collaboratively between Tony and the host.
