New Christmas Piano Arrangements in the Works!

Friday, October 8th, 2021

 

It’s that time of year when I’m assigning Christmas recital pieces to my piano students.

I wrote three arrangements yesterday and hope to transform them into typed music format asap!

I’m also writing a piano duet of Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee this morning for my daughter-in-law and her son to play together.

I’ll do my best to publish all four by this Monday.

Here are the titles and levels for each of the four Christmas piano arrangements:

All are piano solos except Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee

  1. Come Thou Long Expected Jesus    (late intermediate)
  2.  Let it Snow                                  (Late elementary) *Available only on Sheet Music Plus
  3.  O Come All Ye Faithful                   (late elementary)
  4.  Joyful We Adore Thee (duet)         (Late elementary: Primo part and  Early intermediate: Secondo part)

New Advanced Sacred Piano Solo: God Will Take Care of You

Friday, June 18th, 2021

I tried to capture “note for note” how I play this particular hymn “God Will Take Care of You.”

What a fitting hymn in our day and age!

This has been the hardest arrangement for me to write but worth feeling my way through as I sing the words to this beautiful hymn!

It took me at least four days to learn page 4!  I say this so church pianists will realize this hymn arrangement is very advanced.

Watching the video will help you with the interpretation of this sacred piano arrangement.

The interesting story behind this hymn is also included in the video below.

 

God Will Take Care of You
Very advanced sacred piano solo, 4 pgs. This is one of the most difficult arrangements Jenifer has written. Page four is a challenge but worth learning! Hear Jenifer play this arrangement on the video below as well as the story behind this comforting hymn.
Price: $4.95

 

 

 

 

Elementary Sacred Piano Solo: Crown Him With Many Crowns

Wednesday, May 26th, 2021

My grandson, Nathan, requested an arrangement of Crown Him With Many Crowns to learn over the summer.

I tried to keep the arrangement true to his level with the exception of a few spots.  He will soon be in book 2B of the Faber piano book series.

You’ll note the suggested fingering as needed to prevent a lot of hand acrobats 😉

This particular piano arrangement consists of one verse and chorus…making it the perfect length for an offertory at a small church.

Crown Him with Many Crowns
Early elementary sacred piano solo, 2 pages (One verse and one chorus) Makes a great solo for the beginner pianist. I wrote this for my grandson, Nathan, upon his request.
Price: $2.00

Easter Piano Solo: O Sacred Head Now Wounded

Friday, March 26th, 2021

WHAT a rich text for the hymn O Sacred Head Now Wounded!

The writer truly depicted his overwhelming devotion and love to Christ for His sacrifice

It’s not a song you hear often but carries a message we need to hear every day!

May God bless you through this poignant hymn of Christ’s death and saving grace!

O Sacred Head Now Wounded
Late intermediate sacred piano solo, 3 pgs. Approx. 1:47 duration An easy-to-learn arrangement that pictures Christ' atoning death.
Price: $3.95

Advanced Sacred Piano Solo: Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

Wednesday, February 24th, 2021

“Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus”…an excellent reminder to focus on Jesus as we travel through this earthly life.

As I grow older…the words to these old hymns become even more meaningful.

Here’s a homespun hymn arrangement of “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus.”   I just played from my heart and tried to replicate via paper 😉

I especially love the last verse:

“His Word shall not fail you_HE PROMISED 🙂

Believe Him and all will be well.

Then go to a world that is dying, His perfect salvation to tell!

This arrangement is VERY advanced due to at least a half dozen runs…measure #42 contains a run I’ve never used or seen before…but it just seemed to fit.

I will admit it’s the hardest run for me to play in this arrangement.  But…with practice it can happen 🙂

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
Advanced sacred piano solo, 4 pgs. A majestic entrance to this arrangement opens up to the chorus and then goes into a verse with a final chorus. At least a half dozen runs are included in this exciting arrangement!
Price: $4.00

Advanced Sacred Piano Solo: Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2021

 

I just finished the final copy of “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus”.

This is a very advanced piano hymn arrangement with at least a half dozen runs sprinkled throughout the piece.

To be honest, I didn’t think this arrangement was worthy of publication.  Why? Sometimes I feel like my homespun arrangements aren’t that interesting.   But this is the style I like to play….just straight from my heart.

My piano friend, Meryt Wilson encouraged me to publish this piece.

Maybe there are other church pianists that could make use of this homespun arrangement.

I’ll be creating the video today and hope to publish it by no later than the end of this week.

The Lord’s Prayer: Update

Tuesday, January 19th, 2021

 

Just finished the printed version of “The Lord’s Prayer” advanced piano solo!  A piano friend is proof reading before final copy is made.

The music to this popular tune is still under copyright so I will be publishing this arrangement through Sheet Music Plus.

You can still go to my store to purchase the arrangement once it’s published.  Clicking on the arrangement will take you to Sheet Music Plus’ site for purchase.

I plan to publish “The Lord’s Prayer” by this Friday afternoon.

Introducing Ten New Solo Arrangements for the Elementary Level Pianist!

Friday, November 20th, 2020

 

I just published a volume of ten Early elementary level sacred piano solos originally written for my students to play for congregational singing.

I have up to three students playing along with me in church now whenever they can!  We use these arrangements for offertories and preludes too!

Keep in mind….these arrangements can only work for congregational singing IF the student’s keyboard or piano can be transposed to match the key of the lead pianist.

My students are LOVING playing in church in a group setting. They’re actually progressing much faster!

Early Elementary Sacred Piano Volume One
Volume One: Nine Early Elementary Sacred Piano Solos plus one two piano arrangement. (10 songs total) I wrote these arrangements for my piano students to play for congregational singing but can be used for offertories too! Tip: Works great for piano ensemble playing too 🙂 * I usually have at least two students playing these arrangements for congregational singing or for offertory in addition to me playing along. Each arrangement includes suggested fingering & lyrics.
Price: $12.00
