“……arrangements are full-bodied . . . . very original . . . . .not a “jazzing up” of hymn tunes, but a good serious approach to the music . . . . all brass players will wish to own . . . .”
Carlton Dillard,
Pastor of Music Riverbend Church Austin, Texas
“I’ve worked with Gary Slechta for 34 years. He has arranged and/or orchestrated hundreds of charts for our music program at Riverbend Church in Austin, Texas. Some of the highlights of my career have been moments when all our creative ideas have culminated in one of his brilliant arrangements. Gary is not only a musical genius, but is a really kind and generous man. What a combination!”
