A New Church Piece is Slated for Dec. 2010
I'm excited to be working on a new large-scale project: "Sing We Noel! — A Festival of Lessons and Carols."
This program will be presented at 4 PM on Sunday, December 12, 2010, at The Congregational United Church of Christ in Iowa City, and will consist of brand-new arrangements of Christmas carols scored for choir, orchestra, and organ. Eastern-Iowa legend Joan Kjaer will be reading the lessons. Click here to learn more.

Barry Morrow (who won an Oscar Award for his screenwriting for "Rain Main") was the primary creative consultant for "A Friend Indeed: The Bill Sackter Story," and he wrote the following comments about my score for this film:
"Peter's score for Lane Wyrick's documentary, 'A Friend Indeed,' reveals an artist working at the top of his craft. His thoughtful musical themes and deft emotional interpretations illuminate all the important beats in this heartfelt story, making the journey a magical one."
