Welcome to Sacred Sound Works

Greetings fellow musicians!

Welcome to my blog site. Below you will find a large list of works that I have available for sale. You will find that my prices are exceptionally reasonable, because I'm more interested in having my works performed than making money from fellow musicians. Although you will find a list of works here, you can't see the music or hear an mp3 at this site. You will have to visit either of these two sites: www.holymeasures.com, or www.scoreexchange.com and type in my name, Robert Farrell. At ScoreExchange, you might have to download their software called "SCORCH," but it's easy and painless to do. This will enable you to see and hear all my music, and if you so choose, order it directly from Score Exchange. One quirk - the only browsers that Score Exchange supports are Netscape, Opera, and Firefox. If you don't have any of those browsers, you won't be able to see and hear the music. Downloading Firefox is very easy, and it's always nice to have a second browser handy. Any other questions, just email me at: robertgfarrell@gmail.com

MORE INFORMATION

Now, when you purchase any of my works from the me or the Score Exchange site, you have my permission to make several other copies
for your own files. I would prefer you not share them with other
directors. If you want to make copies for your choir, you have my
permission to make copies with hopes that you will pay me 25 cents for
each copy you make. You would make that payment directly to me. If
it's a large work and you just want the choir parts, I can extract the
parts and send you the pdf file to print out. If you want me to add
other instruments, I can do that for a fee.

You can purchase works At Score Exchange by credit card or Pay Pal, or get back to me directly and mail me a check at:
