He received a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Composition from the University of Connecticut where he studied with Hale Smith. He has written and arranged vocal compositions for a wide variety of purposes and audiences, including the Second Congregational Church of Stafford in West Stafford, Connecticut, The Stafford Community Chorus, The Treble Troubadours, Wethersfield Evangelical Free Church and The Vernon Chorale, as well as numerous pieces for friends, family, and his most constant audience, our Lord Jesus Christ.

James is available to receive commissions of sacred choral works for many occasions.To contact him, please send an e-mail to VoicestoGod@sbcglobal.net. You can also check out some of his music at sibeliusmusic.com.

O sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth!
Sing to the Lord, bless His name;
tell of His salvation from day to day.
–Psalm 96:1-2
