Imagine having something just like that for your family, church, or performing group. Imagine the kind of legacy a special piece to mark an important milestone might leave -- whether it's a wedding, an anniversary, or the dedication of a new building. Imagine how it would feel to listen, and to have that piece as memory and legacy for your family or organization for years go come. Now imagine being able to have that at a very reasonable price. Glenn Osborne composes pieces for weddings, liturgical events and worship services, church choirs & community choruses, building dedications, anniversaries of all kinds, solo and group concerts, and memorial services.

Some past compositions: Opera "Friends of Freedom," with Kim Harris, 2003. Papal Liturgies Orchestral arrangements for the Masses at St. Patrick's Cathedral and Yankee Stadium during Pope Benedict XVI's 2008 visit to New York City.
