Tom Payne is the new Pastor of
Worship and Arts at Sun River Church in Rancho Cordova,
California. Prior to that he was the Director of
Instrumental Music at First Baptist Church, Modesto, California where
he directed the Celebration Orchestra. His orchestrations have been published by Genevox Music, Allegis Music and Word Music. Tom is also a two time winner in the Forest E. Turner Arranger's Competition sponsored by the Metro Instrumental Director's Association with his arrangements of "Higher Ground" and "Lead Me To Calvary." Tom plays the many instruments, including sax, trombone, bass and piano. He has a heart for leading people in worship. |

Tom's arrangements are
different enough from our regular worship music that it provides just
the right touch, making our services "just right." Every Payne
arrangment has been fun to work on. Our Praise Band loves the feel of
his arrangements. Great stuff!
|
The ministry that has taken
place as a result of your arrangements has been wonderful. Your web
site is efficient and your music is very usable. Your charts cost less,
preview better and I really dig the little cow in shades! I hope you
become one of the biggest music publishers on the net! |
|
Your arrangements were not a
life saver, they were a band saver. My kids were so responsive to your
work that they took the spotlight at our spring concert. I had them
memorize one and they just played their lips off! The audience went
bananas! Keep up the great work!
|
Tom's arrangements are fresh,
varied, with flexible instrumentation. I found them very useful in the
worship of our congregation. |
