Published Musical Compositions

Diane's god-given gift for putting words to music were nurtured in the early 1970's in the "Keyhole" group in Houston, then the "Fisher Folk" teams in the U.K. Trained musicians like Betty Pulkingham & Mimi Armstrong Farra helped to write accompanying notes and chords for instrumentalists and fellow vocalists - a talent she now has for herself, after her degree at Westminster Choir College.

Often as she worked through melody and phrasing, other musicians like Max Dyer on cello or Louise Jolly on violin would play along, contributing to the texture, timing and phrasing of the final work.

Celebration has nineteen of her compositions listed with CCLI: namely Come Lord Jesus, Drop Everything and Go, God Has Called You, I Am A Rock, I Want to Be a Child Again, I'm Not Alone, Jeremiah, Listen Can't You Hear, Love Come A Tumblin' Down, Love You Dear Jesus, New Bread, O Let Us Praise The Lord, Robed in Majesty, Sing Joyfully, Thank You Lord, The Angel and Mary, The Pentecost Song, When You've Sailed Away, and Yeldall Carol

Sheet music of Diane's compositions are mainly found in early songbooks from Community of Celebration, also the "Come Celebrate" supplement to the Episcopal Hymnal. Click Published Compositions for a table of all Diane's music in Celebration and/or Songbooks.
