Several of my viewers are asking for sheet music to a short video I did on youtube this past week. The four hymns were spontaneous. So, in time I will try to create at least one more from that particular video.  It will probably be “Near to the Heart of God”.

“All the Way My Savior Leads Me” was the first hymn I played in the short video.  I would guess this is an early advanced level. My spontaneous pieces do not always have much structure but you’re welcome to wade through my homespun version of this hymn.

This piece wouldn’t take much prep time for the early advanced to advanced church pianist.

All the Way My Savior Leads Me

Early advanced sacred piano solo, 3 pgs. One of Jenifer's homespun arrangements she penned to paper when viewers asked for a printed arrangement of one of her spontaneous pieces on facebook live.

Price: $3.75

Thanks to those who encouraged me to create sheet music for  All the Way My Savior Leads Me.

Great is Thy Faithfulness is one of my favorite hymns to this day!  I was SO excited when I found out it would be in the public domain as of January 2019!

Yes, it took awhile for me to create this sacred piano solo but finally settled on the arrangement.

Warning: This is a VERY advanced piano solo of Great is Thy Faithfulness.  I actually enjoy writing this level the most because I can pull out all the stops and not feel as restricted.

One challenge for me is recording myself at the piano. I get nervous!  So..I tried to play by the music 🙂  I hope this arrangement is a blessing to the advanced church pianist looking for an offertory.  (Hint: would make a nice selection for Thanksgiving Sunday)

Great is Thy Faithfulness (VERY ADVANCED)

Advanced sacred piano solo arranged by Jenifer Cook 6 pgs. Contains two verses and choruses. A beautiful setting of this well-loved hymn. Your listeners will be tempted to sing along with this heart-felt arrangement of Great is Thy Faithfulness.

Enjoyed recording this new wedding song “Hearts Forever Joined” during our vacation this past weekend.

Suggested use: during the prelude to a wedding or after the recessional.

I guess you could say this is my first non-lyric tune to write. Words may come at a later date but wanted to make

it available as prelude or postlude music for a wedding.

We tried our best to create the right balance of (background sound with piano but the river was too overbearing)  😉

Last year’s recording was a little easier because the water wasn’t as busy as this place.   I still enjoyed the backdrop!

Hearts Forever Joined

Early advanced piano solo for a wedding. (no lyrics) 3 pgs. Approx. length 1:28

Price: $4.00

I plan to do an outside recording real soon….of my new wedding song “Hearts Forever Joined”….weather permitting.   I think it’s going to become an annual tradition for me to record a song outdoors while vacationing 🙂

Publication date is set for this Monday! Stay tuned 🙂

Thanks for all your suggestions.  I decided on Hearts Forever Joined.

The only thing holding me back from publishing a wedding song is a title. It’s my first time to write a wordless melody for weddings.

If you don’t mind listening to my wedding tune to help make your suggestion…thanks!

Every title I’ve thought of so far has already been taken such as:

Melancholy Waltz

Love’s Promise

Promise of Love

Delicate Rose

Enduring Love

I met a nice young lady at the Composer Symposium this past summer who attends the church where my husband and I were married!

She is a great violinist and offered to add the violin bow & slur marks to my arrangement of “Nearer My God to Thee”.  It has taken me a while to finalize the arrangement but now complete and available in our music store.

A big thanks to Abby Phillips for adding the violin markings! See video of Abby below playing her own arrangement of “I’d Rather Have Jesus” in her home church.

Nearer My God to Thee

Sacred violin solo w/ piano accompaniment; 4 pgs. *Price covers two copies. A nice solo piece for any occasion. The beautiful melody of this hymn flows gently back and forth between the piano and violin. *Bowing & slur marks included for violin.

Price: $4.50

Finally! My first time to play for the Bridal processional without having to condense off the top of my head!

The Bridal entrance and then the introduction of the couple followed by recessional… are what I consider the highlights of a wedding ceremony.

Both of these highlights are so short lived…making it a challenge for the pianist or organist who usually have to condense or shorten the music selection.

One of my dear friends just got married this past Saturday and wanted Canon in D as the Bridal song.  I tinkered around with an intro and also tried making Canon in D sound regal instead of laid back.  Of course the idea for an intro didn’t hit me until a few hours before the wedding rehearsal.  I am so use to playing the traditional version…so I had to write out the condensed version.

This particular arrangement was meant for the Bride only….so it’s shorter than most wedding selections.

*Tip: I like to taper off (play gradually softer) when the bride gets closer to the front of the auditorium.

Canon in D (Bridal Procession Only)

Piano arrangement; Bridal processional only. Approx. 40 seconds. One page. Ever had trouble condensing the traditional Bridal March? Look no more! This short and to the point selection fits the occasion! A nice trumpet fanfare for the piano introduction...makes for an exciting grand entrance.

Price: $1.75

One of the many activities of a church pianist may include playing for weddings. I enjoy finding fresh new piano music that truly fits the occasion.

A couple of weeks ago while playing through  James Michael Stevens’ recently published collection entitled… “Dreams of Jewels”… I realized the songs would be perfect for a wedding! All of the pieces are lovely but I especially like “Opal Dreams” and “Aquamarine Dreams”. (I’ve always loved James’ style!)

“Dreams of Jewels” would make a nice piano collection for any church pianist needing prelude or reception music for a wedding.  The collection provides 15 pages of music.  James has other collections as well that would probably be very appropriate for a wedding.  His music can be found at the following link: SMPress
