Mondays are a great opportunity to reflect on the weekend that has just passed. How would I rate my weekend? Well, it was a mixed bag. I attended a local musical which was so bad I wanted to walk out within 15 minutes, but I was coerced into staying through till the end. I shan’t [...]

Christmas Song
Thursday, 9 October, 2008
Because I only just completed a piece which I spent the last few weeks working on, I thought it would be a pretty good time to start on a new song tonight. After much deliberation, I decided to perhaps scrap the children’s Christmas song which I took about one month to write back in August [...]
True Wealth
Wednesday, 8 October, 2008
“All man’s efforts are for his mouth, yet his appetite is never satisfied.” – Ecclesiastes 6:7 Tonight I was particularly moved by the Pastor’s bible exposition, in a way that I have not been for a long time. It seemed as if almost every word cut right to the bone. On a day when the [...]
Choral Piece Completed…Finally
Friday, 3 October, 2008
I’ve been spending the last one month plus working on a piece of music. It’s a choral piece, for choir and piano. And because I was so engrossed in this particular piece, I didn’t want to start writing any other songs. I always like to concentrate on one song at a time and complete it [...]
In The House Of The Lord
Sunday, 29 June, 2008
“I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.” – Psalm 122:1 The last two weeks have not exactly been the best for me, but it’s always an immense joy to go back to the house of the Lord every Sunday to experience the warmth of our [...]
We Are One Big Happy Family In The Lord
Sunday, 1 June, 2008
Thanksgiving Thank you Lord for making today’s retreat such a wonderful event. In my opinion, everything went perfect. Indeed I could feel Your hand guiding me every step of the way, right from the start of preparations a few months back. Nothing could have been made possible if not for Your guiding and leading. I [...]
5 Tips For Writing Songs For Children
Wednesday, 7 May, 2008
This Sunday our children’s choir will be presenting the Parents’ Day song to the congregation during Worship Service, and I’m really looking forward to it. I’m really thankful to have had the wonderful opportunity to work with the children’s choir this year. If there was one highlight for me this year, it would be the [...]
Why Write Christian Songs?
Tuesday, 6 May, 2008
(NB: The title is asked in a truly inquisitive manner, and not in a rhetoric manner.) My last post below made me ponder about something… For all music-loving Christians out there who may or may not be interested in writing Christian songs, what do you think should be the main reason/purpose for a Christian to write original Christian songs? (Choose one [...]
Alleluia (A Prelude)
Saturday, 5 April, 2008
A prelude. Direction: A cappella, for male and female voice. A very short and simple piece, nothing really fancy. Done with the help of Sibelius. =) (click here to view full score in pdf) Copyright © Jeremy Yew 2008
On The Very Night
Monday, 31 March, 2008
On The Very Night On the very night the Saviour was betrayed He took the bread And when He’d given thanks, broke it On the very night the Saviour was betrayed He said “Take and eat, For this is my body giv’n for you” Do this in remembrance of me, Do this in remembrance of [...]
