Update:  Publishing this arrangement tomorrow (March 29th 2025)

My sickness has slowed me down but getting better.

I will be publishing “The Holy City” very advanced piano solo tomorrow by 8pm! (EST)

This has been the most challenging arrangement I’ve ever written!  I tried to stay true to the original texture of this piece.

Since the original arrangement is public domain, I was able to adapt and rearrange this piece for a piano solo.

Hope some of you are able to learn this in time for Easter!

I will publish a video asap!

At least a month ago, one of my readers requested an arrangement of The Holy City.   At first I didn’t want to tackle this beautiful piece.  I’ve always played the piano accompaniment score for my Dad to sing.  Staying true to the original form was on my mind as I began creating the arrangement for this classic hymn.

I’m doing something a little unusual this time.  Since this arrangement is in the public domain…I’m simply adapting the piece from a vocal arrangement to a piano solo.

This means that it’s legally fine for me to borrow the intro and interludes and still add my own arrangement.

I am nearing the end of the entire piece!  (handwritten format)

This coming week….I  will input this piece into my notation software.

What do these two hymns have in common?   I just discovered it this week!

Here is an easier version of my advanced level for Were You There?

I wrote this piece for one of my piano students.

Were You There (Early Intermediate)

Early intermediate sacred piano solo. Arranged by Jenifer Cook Begins in c minor and ends in C Major. Written at this level for one of my piano students. See video below of entire arrangement. This intense arrangement paints a vivid picture of the death and resurrection of Christ. *Advanced version of this arrangement is also available on my advanced list of arrangements.

Price: $4.50

I am working on two projects: (publication date yet to be determined.)

Low Voice Sacred Collection

Easy SATB Choir Collection

Almost finished with the initial handwritten version of “Love Found a Way” an easy SATB (mostly SAT)

An intermediate version of my advanced arrangement for Were You There…is due for publication by next week!

Youtube of my advanced sacred piano solo for Where You There..so you can compare with the early intermediate version next week.  (by February 8th, 2025)

I hope this arrangement is a blessing to you!   I enjoyed writing another homespun arrangement of an old hymn.

The words to this hymn reminds the Christian of complete surrender to Jesus.

Is Your All on the Altar

Advanced sacred piano solo arranged by Jenifer Cook Five pages, Approximately 2 & 1/2 minutes This arrangement contains an intro, two verses & choruses, ending. Keys: F and G

Just realized this advanced sacred piano solo was missing from the music store list for advanced piano solos!

The arrangement managed to sell over 200 copies when it was up and running.   So…this piece is either an old piece to some of you from way back or….a new piece as of now 🙂

The name of the advanced piano medley is “Sweet Hour of Prayer Medley” *Includes the song:  “I Must Tell Jesus”

It’s a five page piece and also available in the Early Advanced Solo Collection #1

Sometime back, probably November…one of my church pianist  viewers heard me play “Is Your All on the Altar” for one of my facebook lives and requested I write it out.

After several months I finished creating the sheet music today!

I hope to publish the sheet music and youtube video sometime this coming week. (Week of January 26th, 2025)

Here’s a preview of the sheet music and audio sample…*See audio sample below the sheet music sample.

Come join me for an evening of Christmas carols this coming Thursday, December 19th at 8pm EST.
