Jason Locke Music

I had the incredible pleasure of writing a piece to honour Patricia Young - Newfoundland-based musician who has dedicated her career to church music. This commission request came from Christopher Dawes and the board of the Summer Institute of Church Music (SICM). The conference chorus premiered it in Whitby, ON at the end of July and it's now available for sale on my website - - video recording to follow, hopefully soon!

'My Hope and Stay' is an anthem which highlights the beauty of our sacred spaces - combining texts based on the poetry of R.A. Parsons and the well-known hymn 'The Solid Rock'. This was warmly received and would be a great anthem to program in the fall season!

It's now posted on my website - you can find it here:

With the season of Creation right around the corner, I wanted to share this simple but rewarding setting of 'All Things Bright and Beautiful'. I don't have a video recording at the moment, but I do have a recording of the University of Western Ontario Chorale singing it last year in their spring concert. Take a listen! Perhaps it could fit somewhere in the fall planning.

And if it does - you can find it on my website: jasonlocke.ca
