For a Time
00:00Come Into This Place SATB
$4.00In a somewhat traditional carol style this is a song for the Christmas season and carries a message of rebirth and hope. The birth of a child in the dark of winter is something we all can get excited about, makes us all feel like a family and gives us faith in the future.
Four Arrangement Options:
- Key Eb – a capella
- Key C – a capella
- 3 Verses with bells comp
- SATB piano comp
The Oneness of Everything
This eco-anthem works well for group singing or a solo voice. The traditional hymn style melody was intended to have a more contemporary feel, not too somber, with steady folk/rock rhythm. The long phrases can be a challenge to maintain the meaning of the words as all in one sentence so don’t get too slow. Several arrangements – SAA, SATB or solo with SATB – are available from Jim Scott.
Everyone Is Welcome – 7 Song PDF Bundle
$15.00Everyone Is Welcome Here – Jim’s new collection of 7 songs that celebrate the 7 Principles of the Unitarian Universalist Church. Commissioned by the UU Church of Kinston NC, the songs can be sung by a children’s choir or lead by a song-leader – all unison except for the title song that has a counter line. Six of the seven have sing-along choruses and the set comes with a handout for singing along. The songs are arranged with piano accompaniment and chord symbols for improvising players.
Orders here will be filled within a day. Download not available at this time, PDFs will be sent by email. A demo recording (by Jim) is available by request.

Solstice Carol Solo Sheet
$3.00In a traditional carol style, the four parts make an SATB harmonization. It’s short enough to be repeated. A verse might be done with just the two treble voices, or the unison melody done down an octave. A larger SATB choral arrangement is available from Jim Scott.
Gather the Spirit SATB
$4.00This ¾ tune in a swinging gospel style has gotten wide acclaim and use as a congregational hymn in the Unitarian Universalist Church as well as some other denominations. This choral arrangement adds some counterpoint and different voice parts taking the lead. In a coda section there’s a 4/4 gospel, layered repeated riff that could draw in the congregation. It’s syncopated and may take a little time to figure out, but once you get the feel, it’s worth it – really rousing.
Ocarina Intro – Instruments of Peace (Single)
$1.00From the album Instruments of Peace, the song Ocarina Intro! Digital Download only!
Tradition Held Fast
$4.00This was written as a closing song and it’s in the UU Hymnbook. It’s a hymn with a gospel beat, a 16 bar melody with an 8 bar intro/interlude. The central message is taken from a Native American saying: once we have shared in this circle together, the circle doesn’t break, it just opens. As the third verse gets to the word “opens” the music takes us to a coda. “…opens – to every fate of life, and every open heart.”

Let All Our Hearts Open Wide SATB
$4.00A song about human connections, this has a gospel style chorus that can be repeated and built up to a big climax.

All Scales in All Positions
$10.00This book is designed to help you discover and recognize the patterns that make up many types of scales. Uncovering the secrets of scale construction can five you a better handle on spontaneous improvisation and creating melodies. By exploring scale patterns from several different angles, you will develop the ability to let the notes fall underneath your fingers, moving seamlessly from one position to the next.
We’ll start off with the major scale—how it’s constructed, how it visualize it on a single string and then the entire fretboard, and how to come up with usable patterns. The core of our exploration will be a concept called rows—a unique way of looking at scales across the neck that will help you in developing fingerings and in memorizing and transposing scales.
After the major scales, we’ll look at the other scale types—pentatonic, blues, natural minor, harmonic minor, melodic minor, whole tone, diminished, chromatic—and the modes.
Along the way, we’ll explore a number of practice techniques, including sequential fingerings, the circle of fifths, and improvisation using chord-scales and motifs. We’ll even go off the beaten path to touch on harp-style fingerings and alternate tunings.
Including free shipping.
In Longer Day
