Thomas Fielding

Welcome to the webpage of Tom Fielding! I am glad that you have chosen to find out more about my work as an organist and composer and it is a delight to be able to share my work with you! If you have any questions about any of the contents of these pages, please feel free to contact me using that section of this webpage. I am always happy to discuss the possibilities of recitals and commissions with you in addition to the availability of my works for performance in church and concert hall.

I will be performing several recitals this fall on large, important insruments. I will play on the large Schantz organ found in Sacred Heart Cathedral-Basilica, Newark, NJ on 21 October 2009 and on the monumental five-manual Letourneau organ recently installed at Edenton Street United Methodist Church, Raleigh, NC.

I have also been busy as a composer this past summer. I completed a short choral piece for a capella men’s chorus for the Flower Mound High School, Flower Mound, TX, Dr. Mark Rohwer, director. The piece is a fun setting of the Scottish folk text “I’m Seventeen Come Sunday” which will premiere at the school on 17 April 2010.

Additionally, I have completed 8 hymn arrangements for orchestra for St. Thomas Aquinas RC Church, Avondale, AZ, Matthew Sprinkle, Director of Music: Hail, Holy Queen, Immacualte Mary, and Las Apariciones Guadalupanas which were premiered at the Jobing.com arena in Glendale, AZ as part of the International Marian Congress held there, and The Church’s One Foundation, Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow, Gift of Finest Wheat, Ubi Caritas (Bob Hurd/Craig Kingsbury), and Jerusalem, My Destiny which premiered on 2-3 October 2009 at the Initiation Rites of the Knights of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, Western USA Lieutenancy held at St. Thomas Aquinas Church. The St. Thomas orchestra is a professional ensemble of 2222/2220/org/timp/SATB chorus/strgs that performs at the church for such events.

There is also a lot of great, new information on this webpage! I have added PDF samples of I’m Seventeen Come Sunday and of two of the hymn setting composed for St. Thomas Aquinas Church to the scores page. There is also a new link to the live recording of the premiere of Hail, Holy Queen for the crowd of 23,000 attending the International Marian Congress this past August. This link can be found under the recordings tab. And finally, I have to include yet more pictures of my beloved Roxy. These can be found, as you might guess, under the Roxy tab of this page.

Again, please feel free to email me with your questions or comments. Cheers!
