Rick Land & Russ Tapp: Home
Thank you for stopping by our site. What you are hearing as you visit our site through the media player above are the original arrangements and compositions that Rick & I are creating each week in service to our little church in the Texas panhandle, St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in Pampa, TX. Although we have our fingers in so many pies we make our service music for St. Matthew's our top priority each week. We are having a blast while breaking through the barriers of church music with our special "fusion" of great literature, original compositions and improvisations in the use of the historic Mohler pipe organ and the Yamaha Motif Synthesizer. All of the service music playing above are recorded live at St. Matthew's Church each and every week at our 10:30 AM worship service. So, the quality is not studio quality but you do hear the energy and essence of our music ministry in a live worship setting. We are very grateful to the people of St. Matthew's for allowing us to express our hearts of worship through our spiritual and musical gifts.
Rick & I have experienced leading worship and making music in the largest evangelical churches in the state of Texas, but they do not compare to the beauty, tranquility and aesthetic spiritual depth that we have the freedom to experience at St. Matthew's through our weekly musical offerings in service to God and the dear people of St. Matt's.
We hope that you are blessed by what you hear. To hear the corporate musical expressions from the congregation of St. Matthew's and to experience some of the original service music & responses being composed by Rick especially for St. Matthew's click on this link or just jump over to our music page and you will find a long list of service music clips. Each week we strive to update the music page with musical and worship excerpts of the most recent worship services.

II. Worship Resources
Our aim is to also provide high quality worship & media resources for the worshiping community. We are exploring, creating, composing, recording and arranging legitimate worship music for both liturgical and contemporary P&W churches.
We are fusing together all the highest quality of sounds, print & visual media from both ends of the Christian Church spectrum. We strive to fuse the acoustical with the digital—the past with the present—legit music with inspirational video. From printed charts to film making we are currently impacting two Texas panhandle Episcopal churches as they allow us to explore the possibilities of worship fusion.
We are hoping to meet the needs for those who are tired of the “blended”(A+B=A+B) worship routine with true “worship fusion”(A+B=C). You don’t have to have one or the other. There is a way to fuse the traditions of our past with the living and evolving forms of expression of the present.
We hope you enjoy the selection (Track 3 "Symphonic Poem" from the movie On Golden Pond) from our latest album "Cathedrals" as you watch & listen to the video above. Cathedrals is our first offering in "fusion" music as we create and orchestrate songs for Pipe Organ & Synthesizer. Check out our "blog" to read a review and description.
