Sorry it's taken me so long to finally post info on recordings.  I've been
busy at work and answering a lot of questions.  :)  Anyway, here are a
couple of things that are online.  I have a short CD that I could
snail-mail and will be making a full-length recording with an ensemble
later this summer.

Click on the eight (if you go to the Jaws links list and type the number
8, you'll get it; otherwise, just scroll down the page to the link that's
just the number eight).  This is the December 8th daily chapel service
from St. Olaf College (it's all medieval Christmas music until the prayer
at the end, so it'll feel more like a concert).  I sing the really long
Middle English piece about 10 minutes into it.  I can send translations of
the lyrics if anyone wants them.

Click on the link for St. Olaf Choir Spring Concert.  This is a
full-length concert, and I have a duet in a Finnish piece about fifteen
minutes in.  It's right after a Kyrie (the song with organ, choir, and
lots of "kyrie eleison's" :) ).  I'm on the soprano line.  This same page
has many St. Olaf concerts and events, so feel free to listen to any or
all of them.  :)
You will need Quicktime to hear these audio files.
