I’m publishing a new early advanced piano arrangement tomorrow entitled, “Grace Medley”.
I’m snowed in and this arrangement was the result 🙂
Here’s a sneak preview…
Several years ago, I published a piano solo (elementary level) of “Nothing But the Blood of Jesus“.  Later on, I came up with a simple accompaniment on a second piano while my student played the solo arrangement on another piano. We played it in church and I shared the video on my youtube channel.
Since that time, several church pianists have asked for the teacher accompaniment part which was in my head until now 😉
The teacher’s part may not sound identical to the youtube version…. but it’s close!
Hope you enjoy using this free accompaniment version for “Nothing But the Blood of Jesus.” (elementary piano solo)
“Nothing But the Blood of Jesus” FREE piano accompaniment
This has to be one of my favorite Christmas songs now! My dad wrote this song several years ago and now it’s available in print!
You’ll love the haunting melody along with the emphasis on salvation that Christ brought to the world.
I’ve been sick for the past three weeks and feeling much better now!
Unfortunately I was unable to finish “Sweet Little Jesus Boy” piano solo but will be publishing a brand new Christmas vocal solo arrangement by my dad, Reece Yandle, sometime this week. The song is entitled “Hallelujah, Christ is Born!” and is just beautiful! The verses begin in a minor key and the chorus changes to major…I will say this has become my favorite Christmas song written by my Dad. Yes, he has written others but just haven’t published them yet 🙂
Here’s an audio sample of Dad’s song with printed words below to follow along as you hear the tune…
Verse one:
Prophet bards foretold His birth,
How the Babe would come to earth;
How salvation He would bring,
Jesus Christ the newborn King!
Chorus:
Hallelujah, Christ is born,
Hallelujah Christmas morn…
I have also posted some Christmas piano arrangement books for sale on our “Used Music” page. These books come from a growing stack of books I purchased this past year and just don’t need them all. I plan to post more for sale as time allows.
VERY excited about this beautiful song, “We Have a Saviour Who Cares” by Mina Oglesby!
You and your congregation will be blessed by this heart-warming song which reminds believers of God’s constant presence in their lives.
A very appropriate song for those going through a difficult time…who need that extra encouragement….to know that God cares!
The following video was recorded before the written arrangement took place so I will try to provide a more accurate recording asap but this will give you a general idea of the song.
So glad to have finally finished this collection of Congregational Piano Hymn Arrangements! I always enjoy writing in an accompaniment fashion…much more can be played than the melody 🙂
I may have strayed more from melody in this second collection but not enough to lose your congregation 😉
Hope you enjoy this collection! A special thanks to the John W. Peterson company for working with me to include “Heaven Came Down” which I REALLY had fun writing!

I published a late intermediate arrangement of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen a couple years ago. I was needing an early intermediate arrangement of this Christmas song for one of my piano students to play for recital this year…so…got up around 5 am last week and this one just flowed.
It’s not very long because we like short and sweet recitals 😉 The shorter solo also allows time for the student to learn a piano duet with me for the recital.
Just thought I’d share a video clip of the sacred piano duet “Come Thou Fount” performed by myself and my student, Hannah Myers.
We played it this past Wednesday for offertory before heading out to the MusiCollege 2015 event.
We thoroughly enjoyed playing this peppy arrangement on a cloudy day 🙂
