Keys to Happiness

Tom Dossett – Keys to Happiness

Tom Dossett is a veteran composer well-known in “the biz” of commercial music. However, he felt inspired to create an album of LDS arrangements for piano that include a good mix of hymns and children’s songs. There are 15 songs on this album and all are good. Nearly all of my favorites on this album were arrangements of Primary songs. “Popcorn Popping,” “Once There Was a Snowman” and “Do As I’m Doing” all stand out in my mind. But he also did a lovely arrangement of “Be Still, My Soul” which is among my favorite hymns for its comforting message.

He did two medleys. The first is titled “Family,” and includes snippets of “A Happy Family,” “When We’re Helping” and “The Family.” The second is titled “The 4^th Article of Faith” and it includes “The Church of Jesus Christ,” “Faith,” “Repentance,” “When Jesus Christ Was Baptized” and “The Still Small Voice.” Both are good and enjoyable to listen to.

The last time I corresponded with Tom, he still hadn’t found a distributor, but I hope he does. I’d like to see him release more albums, as I feel he had a nice polished, professional touch on the piano. To order a copy of the album, visit Tom through his website at www.tdossett.com.
