Joseph Martin is recognized throughout the United States as a composer, conductor, and concert pianist. His choral compositions, both sacred and secular, are published by numerous publishing houses, including Shawnee Press, where he is a member of the staff as Director of Sacred Publications, with responsibilities for overseeing the edito- rial and creative direction of the company and also coordinating the recording and pro- duction aspects of future sacred publishing efforts. While at Furman University, he was accompanist for choral director and composer Milburn Price and, inspired by his teach- ing, Martin began to compose. Over 850 compositions are currently in print and the list continues to grow. His first solo piano recording, American Tapestry, was nominated for a Dove Award. This album, along with his other recordings (Songs of the Journey,
Celtic Tapestry, and A Christmas Tapestry) has been enormously popular in the sacred and secular markets. He has recorded for Yamaha's Disklavier series and has composed hundreds of commissioned works.
