His Music
 

Dr. Deming enjoyed composing music. Although he heard his compositions played and sung many times, one of his proudest moments occurred on 3 April 1993. An evening dedicated to his music and sponsored by the Ford Motor Company was presented by the Washington Civic Symphony at Constitution Hall in Washington, D. C. It was entitled, “W. Edwards Deming:The Man and His Music.”

While his main focus was on liturgical pieces, he also wrote a rendition of the Star Spangled Banner using the same words with different music. He never felt that the "pub" music of the original was appropriate for a National Anthem. Some of the pieces are in his written hand. We hope you will enjoy them and pass them along.
