#NationalCerealDay
🎵 Thrilled to finally take this step...
For the first time, I’m officially opening the books for commissions for the 2026–27 season!
If you lead a high school, university, community, or church choir, I’d love to write something just for you — whether it’s for mixed or treble voices, small or large ensemble, with piano, brass, strings, or unaccompanied. Whatever you can dream we can create together!
Occasions could include graduation anthems, anniversary celebrations, memorials, concert openers/closers, Advent or Lent pieces… whatever your ensemble needs, I’m here to create it with you.
I’ve been fortunate to write for wonderful choirs in recent years, but stepping into the “virtual marketplace” like this feels like a big, vulnerable leap. Your encouragement and trust mean the world as I take this next step!
A few brand-new works are already scheduled for their spring 2026 premieres (including “Afternoon on a Hill,” “The Kraken,” “Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day?,” and “The Light We Leave Behind” Jason Frew — (can’t wait to share them!).
If you’re dreaming up a special piece for your singers, I’d love to hear your ideas. Drop me a line at [email protected] or just say hello in the comments/DMs.
Let’s make some beautiful music together!
With gratitude,
Matt
Winter returns tomorrow. Increasing clouds this Wednesday afternoon with temps in the low 60s. Thursday: Light snow by afternoon. Becoming windy. Temps dropping from the low 40s to the upper 20s by evening. Light snow ending Thursday night. Around 1" accumulation for Omaha. Partly sunny and 30° on Friday and Saturday. Sunny and 30° on Sunday.
It has been a privilege to be there with these girls during the summer. I got laid off from my job at the end of May, and it allowed me to take on more of a coaching role in the summer. Perfect timing!
Last day of summer lifting! We got better this summer and have big things loading for the winter! Special thank you to @PapioStrength for pushing us and @papiosoftball for working out with us #WeArePLV#wrestlelikeagirl🤼♀️
