Simple Offertory

Sometimes it’s refreshing to hear a simple offertory.  I like to be able to distinguish the melody when hearing an instrumental special. My son, and another gentleman in our church were suppose to play a guitar/harmonica offertory this past Sunday night. Unfortunately, they hadn’t had much time to practice.

They asked if I would play along on the piano with them for support. They wouldn’t be able to practice until Sunday evening before church during the time I had to practice with the vocal special for that night. So…I quickly wrote a simple piano accompaniment that Sunday afternoon and had my daughter-in-law practice with them that evening.  They did great for a last minute ensemble!

Here’s the video of them playing “In the Sweet By and By”.

Tip: The accompaniment may also be used to accompany a vocal solo

  1. Just wanted to let you know how thankful I am to you for posting all these free arragements! This is just what I needed for a quick, last minute arrangement for a funeral I have to play for tomorrow. We were able to use it for a piano/violin/flute trio and it sounds very nice!!!

    Thank you again for being such a blessing to pianists in need!
    God Bless You!!!!
