“It has been my privilege to have a chance to work with Michael McCarthy for over 20 years as a series editor and composer. Michael’s unique skills as conductor, composer, and clinician have established his name as one of this country’s premier musicians.
Mark W. Lawson, President, ECS Publishing Group
Composer/Arranger
During his time at Washington National Cathedral, Mike composed and arranged many pieces for liturgies and special services. While several of his arrangements have been for state occasions, many of his compositions have been written for high feast days in the Christian calendar. As a huge advocate for blended worship, Mike has written extensively bridging the gap between the many cultural styles of church music in the United States.
