I am married, a father of 3 very active little boys, and I am an IT support engineer by profession. Arranging music is a hobby, and a creative outlet that my kids can&#8217;t mess up. I love to sing (I&#8217;m a baritone), and I have participated in many choirs over the years. I arranged my first hymn (<a href=\"http:\/\/davefackrell.com\/musicdev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/O_My_Father_solo.pdf\"><em>O My Father<\/em><\/a>) by hand way back in my college days, and when I found some inexpensive music composition software, I totally reworked it. I have been arranging hymns ever since. There have been several occasions when I have been asked to sing in church, and I could not find an arrangement of a particular song that I liked, so I did my own arrangement. This made the hymns a more personal, and heartfelt expression of my faith. I can truly say that my arrangements come through inspiration, with plenty of perspiration. I am currently serving as ward choir director, and this has given me more opportunities to arrange and hear my music performed. I&#8217;m no Mack Wilberg (directing the Mormon Tabernacle Choir would be awesome!), but I do love the hymns. Please enjoy my music and feel free to use any arrangement you like for church and personal use. For any other use, including commercial, please contact me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since you&#8217;re here, I&#8217;ll tell you a little about myself.
