Darin Lewis has done a number of commissioned works--liturgical and choral- at St. Francis Episcopal Church. He is a gifted musician and composer. His liturgical settings are beautiful, accessible, and wonderfully enrich the worship experience for everyone. His choral works possess a depth and feeling that touch the hearer and continue the high standard of a long line of beautiful sacred choral music.

“I have been pleased to discover the choral woks of Darin Lewis. I very much appreciate the lyrical nature of his vocal lines set in colorful harmonic textures as well as t he sensitive text painting evident in his compositional style. I look forward to programming his choral works in the forthcoming concert seasons and recommend them for your consideration.”
Anton Armstrong, Director, St. Olaf Choir
I commissioned Maestro Darin J. Lewis to write a choral piece, entitled “Entreat Me Not”, which was premiered in 2014 to tears of joy and thunderous accolades. Darin’s exquisite gift in composing music which embraces and defines lyrics or sometimes welcomes the work of a poetic muse, is legend. His sensitivity to why he has been asked to compose, engenders a desire to ask him for more and more work. It is a marvelous and enriching experience to work with him.

Darin Lewis writes with such appeal to the audience, challenges the artist for their best work and with the quality of composition that will prove current for years to come. Each time I work with him I am confident that the product will meet the needs I propose and go further as an inspired musical creation. It is a joy to work with this great man.

“Darin brings an energy to the room that is contagious to the students he is working with which quickly transfers into his piece that is being performed. Darin composed an amazing piece for our district vocal festival concert that encompassed 900 singers ranging in age from 11-19. The piece, "It Starts with a Song," was amazing.”
Carol Lamica, Rush-Henrietta School District, NY
“I've come to know Darin Lewis' choral compositions in the past few years and find them to be well-written and suited to a wide variety of choirs. He has set a number of sacred texts, but has a commitment to music that is successful not only for church choirs, but school and community singers, as well. He has published his works through his own press with professional results, each octavo carefully presented. His Lullay My Liking is a particularly beautiful work and deserves performance!”
David Brunner, composer and Professor of Choral Activities, University of Central Florida
“I have worked collaboratively with Darin as a "composer in residence". He is wonderful with singers and really helps to bring his music to life. My singers thoroughly enjoyed working with him! His music offers refreshing harmonies while being grounded and accessible to all types of singers. His arrangements of folk songs offer new perspectives to old works and he has a great working knowledge of just how to set texts. I consider Darin Lewis a fine composer/arranger.”
Michele Holt, Executive Director, MMEA, past president ACDA
Darin connected with my students both musically and personally, and the result was a wonderful multi-movement piece that spoke to the whole community.
