Merry Christmas to you all!  I’m sharing the edited version of my recent Facebook Live event…December 20th 2022

Suggestion: If you want to see the links to available sheet music for some of the pieces I played….First….enlarge the video below and click the word “youtube” on this video. Once you’re viewing this video on youtube…see the sheet music links in the video description underneath the video.

Sorry but I have not had the time to input a lot of music into sheet music this Christmas.  Here’s a quickie for the elementary level of Hark the Herald Angels Sing.

I wrote it for my ten year old grandson to play at this year’s recital and offertory at church.

He enjoyed learning it…especially the intro and big bass ending!

The arrangement consists of an intro, verse, chorus and ending…all in the key of F Major.

Hark the Herald Angels Sing

I enjoyed arranging All Creatures of Our God and King.

What an uplifting hymn!  The author of this song, Saint Francis, is better known as Giovanni Bernardone.  He wrote over sixty hymns.

“At the age of 25 Bernardone left an indulgent life as a soldier, renounced his inherited wealth, and determined to live meagerly and to imitate the selfless life of Christ.”  Amazing Grace 366 Inspiring Hymn Stories for Daily Devotions by Kenneth W. Osbeck

This arrangement is written with the intermediate church pianist in mind.

All Creatures of Our God and King

Sacred intermediate piano solo, 3 pgs. 1:27 time length A nice piece year round but especially for Thanksgiving. An excellent competition piece as well!

Hope you all enjoy playing this arrangement of No One Understands Like Jesus.  It’s the first arrangement I’ve written since my Dad passed away in June of 2022.

I thought my heart would ache too much to write after Dad’s passing but God has given me more compassion over the old hymns of the faith because they mean so much more now!

This particular advanced sacred piano solo is geared to the advanced church pianist.  I’ve included four long runs for the right hand.  Tip:  Practice the runs S_L_O_W until they begin to flow and then slowly insert the run into its surrounding measures until you’ve mastered each run.

No One Understands Like Jesus

Advanced sacred piano solo in the key of C Major. Includes: two verses and two choruses arranged by Jenifer Cook. This is the first piano arrangement Jenifer has written since her Dad passed away in June 2022. Jenifer found comfort in her dear Savior during this difficult time as she passionately played "No One Understands Like Jesus! He's a Friend beyond compare!"

Price: $4.95

“When I Looked up to the Cross”  is one of my most favorite songs written by my Dad, Reece Yandle.

This particular vocal solo is perfect for Easter.  I love the phrase, “When I looked up to the cross and gaze on His face. That’s when I thank Him for His love and His grace.”  It’s such a powerful song about the death and resurrection of Jesus. Click HERE to see Dad singing this piece.

Dad has another Easter type song entitled “Nevertheless Thy Will be Done” that’s also a great selection around Easter time.  I arranged both of these songs of Dad’s. However, this second piece is only available through Lorenz who is now under GIA Publications. The lyrics to this reflective song… opens with a scene of Jesus kneeling in the garden of Gethsemane and his heart-rending prayer…”Let this cup pass from me…nevertheless Thy will be done.”  The final phrase is “Thus cried the Savior God’s own Son, nevertheless Thy will be done.”

Also note, “Nevertheless Thy Will be Done”, is in a vocal book from various authors.

I do have another vocal arrangement in the same book written by one of my youth directors, Rusty Dillard, and it’s also a great song about the story of Joseph.

Click on the following song links for more information:

When I Looked Up to the Cross 

Nevertheless Thy Will be Done (offsite product) The name of this book is called “No Greater Love”.

Here’s the picture of the vocal song book for “No Greater Love”

About a year ago…I happened across this video of my two piano arrangement for “Showers of Blessing” on youtube.

This peppy two piano hymn arrangement is great for prelude, offertory or postlude.  I enjoy playing piano with others!

Thanks to Lisa and Andy for doing a good job on this two piano arrangement of “Showers of Blessing”. See link below for the sheet music.

Finished!  I’ve had this arrangement of “The Cleansing Wave” on the burner for quite some time.

I would like to thank Abby Phillips Lockaby for adding the violin accompaniment. She made it sound SOOOO pretty!

I didn’t do justice to her part but tried my best.

I’ve been fine tuning two vocal arrangements to use around Easter time.

The first one is complete!  It’s a fairly easy two part ladies’ arrangement of “Jesus Paid it All” by John T. Grape.

I usually schedule at least 6 practices for this selection to make sure we have time to work on the expression once the notes are learned.

I’ll do my best to provide a video of this piece asap.

The second vocal arrangement of “The Cleansing Wave” is actually a two-part mixed choir piece with an optional beautiful violin accompaniment created by one of my music friends….(Abby Phillips) Lockaby.  She added just the right texture/sound to this flowing arrangement.  I’ll share an audio sample of the piano and violin score this week.

Jesus Paid it All

Sacred Two Part Ladies' Arrangement (for 2 or more vocalists) Price covers as many copies as you need. Great selection for the Easter season. Easy to learn! The most practice your ladies' group would need is maybe five rehearsals.
