Religious/Christian Audio products
- Hymns and Songs of My Mother
Vocal version of album -
- Digitally Released 6/20/2024.
- CD Released 9/20/2024.
This magnificant audiophile album of old, traditional, nostalgic hymns and songs is available to preview and purchase on our online marketplace. You can link to it from Store Access. It is professionally produced and recorded, is extremely long (almost 1 hr 20 min - max for a CD), including 26 old, nostalgic, traditional hymns and songs, plus 1 county/folk Contemporary Christian song.
Creation of this album was requested by David's mother after the death of his father, of his parents' favorite hymns and songs. Presumably her requent was influenced by knowning David is vocally trained and was recording at a professional studio. They jointly selected the traditional, nostalgic hymns and songs from his parents favorites. His mother insisted the Contemporary Christian song, written for her sister's funeral, be included. Playlist is available at Simple Playlist and Annotated Playlist.
Although his mother died a few months after requesting this recording, i.e., while production of this marvelous recording was underway, her concept is realized by completion and release of this album.
The meaningful interpretations and audiophile fidelity are in a separate csategory above the vast number of well intentioned albums of favorite old hymns found on YouTube. While those recordings are nice and nostalgic, most are recorded by untrained vocalists, in acoustically challenged church spaces, with limited accompaniment variations, by inexperienced producers and audio engineers, using inexpensive lower fidelity sound equipment.
In contrast, everything on this album is performed by trained professionals. That includes the vocalists and the wide variety of professional musicians on real instruments. Recordings were made in professional sound studios with professional equipment. The interpretative performances and outstanding sonic fidelity set it apart. You can hear the difference!

- Welcome Home
Mini-EP - Digitally released 3/12/2026
Because "Welcome Home" is the only country/folk style Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) song contained on the otherwise old, traditional, nostalgic album, Hymns and Songs of My Mother, we separately made 2 versions of this song available as a mini-EP. The two versions are:
- A simpler version of this country/folk influenced Christian Soft Adult Alternative song played and sung by the author/composer, Kathy Brigman Haupt, with David singing a simple duet on the refrains; and
- The new arrangement of this song, developed for and included on the album Hymns and Songs of My Mother, which includes more detailed acoustic guitar parts, Cameos of the composer, and women's chorus on the refrains.
- The Crucifixion
Digitally released 10/6/2024
Free digital download
You can preview and download this magnificant album from our online music store. Go to Store Access. This performance is restored and mastered from the private monophonic LP of this historic, 1959 performce by Annapolis High School choirs.
This is a dominantly coral arrangement of this cantata, which contrasts with the traditional scoring of this Easter passion by Stainer. It was performed by the 3 combined Annapolis High School choirs in 1959. The choral director's arrangement reassigned most of the recitatives and arias to two womens choirs. That produced a significantly more choral performance. Selected small solos are sung by choral members. (It includes David in the part of Jesus - the first recording of a young David.)
Our online marketplace contains:
- The mastered and restorated digital audio file;
- The numbers are separated into the score's 15 performance titles, enabling individual access to the numbers; and
- A copy of the lyrics are included for all the numbers.

- Companion History eBook (Working title - History Through 27 Hymns and Songs) Working Draft is has been reviewed by editor. (Revisions will begin shortly, targeted during 2027.)
This was originally conceived as a companion to the recording, Hymns and Songs of My Mother. It is a lengthy history eBook telling histories from the time each hymn and song was written. The histories enable readers to understand how historic events occurring when each of the hymns and songs were written influenced each of the hymns and songs.
