Don’s instrumental and choral arrangements have been published by a number of companies, including Hal Leonard, Word Entertainment, Shawnee Press and Lorenz. He has also arranged and orchestrated for McGraw-Hill’s ‘music curriculum’ series.
2005 began a new string of musical highlights in a career filled with many. Hart worked with Randy Travis on his Grammy winning album ‘Worship and Praise’. He also worked up an intimate string arrangement for Martina McBride’s touching song, “In My Daughter’s Eyes” which was performed on network TV during that year’s CMA Awards telecast.

In 2006, the Nashville Ballet premiered Don’s commissioned score for “The Velveteen Rabbit” and Don received a Grammy nomination for his arrangement of ‘Scary Things’, from the award winning children’s album, ‘Kid Pan Alley Nashville’ (Parents’ Choice Gold Award and NAPPA Gold Award).

2009 will create new career milestones including Don working on a new Oak Ridge Boy’s album - and the year will find “Time Turns Elastic” (composed by Don Hart and Trey Anastasio) performed by the New York Philharmonic at New York’s famed Carnegie Hall. “That is quite the honor to hear my work in a most legendary concert hall performed by one of the greatest symphonies in the world. I couldn’t be more thrilled to cap off the year like that!”
