Church Pianist Update: Thanksgiving Song (vocal)

Tuesday, November 19th, 2019

 

 

I was up before the sun this morning trying to finish my Dad’s vocal number entitled “Sing to the Lord a New Song.”

This make a great Thanksgiving choir special and it’s not real hard to learn 🙂 Sorry for working on it so late but doing my best.

Dad (Reece Yandle), wrote this song years ago and we’ve been intending to publish it as a SATB choir arrangement.

The melody of this song is very catchy and stays with you throughout the day..reminding you to praise the Lord!

Working on getting a sample for you all to hear. In the meantime….see sample picture of music below.

Published: Great is Thy Faithfulness Advanced Piano Solo

Tuesday, September 24th, 2019

Great is Thy Faithfulness is one of my favorite hymns to this day!  I was SO excited when I found out it would be in the public domain as of January 2019!

Yes, it took awhile for me to create this sacred piano solo but finally settled on the arrangement.

Warning: This is a VERY advanced piano solo of Great is Thy Faithfulness.  I actually enjoy writing this level the most because I can pull out all the stops and not feel as restricted.

One challenge for me is recording myself at the piano. I get nervous!  So..I tried to play by the music 🙂  I hope this arrangement is a blessing to the advanced church pianist looking for an offertory.  (Hint: would make a nice selection for Thanksgiving Sunday)

Great is Thy Faithfulness (VERY ADVANCED)
Advanced sacred piano solo arranged by Jenifer Cook 6 pgs. Contains two verses and choruses. A beautiful setting of this well-loved hymn. Your listeners will be tempted to sing along with this heart-felt arrangement of Great is Thy Faithfulness.
Price: $4.75

 

Very Advanced Piano Solo: Great is Thy Faithfulness (Update)

Tuesday, September 17th, 2019

PLEASE NOTE: THE AUDIO DOESN’T SEEM TO BE WORKING FOR EVERYONE.  

WE’RE WORKING ON A SOLUTION (HOPEFULLY)

In the meantime: Click HERE to hear sample on my facebook music page.

I’m working on what’s becoming a VERY advanced piano solo arrangement of “Great is Thy Faithfulness”.

When creating advanced piano arrangements…I constantly hear a lot of  notes that the soloist can’t reasonably cover on one instrument.

It would actually be easier for me to write a two piano arrangement to accommodate ALL the notes.

Just wanted to warn my readers that it’s very advanced…since I pulled out all the stops 😉

Here’s a sample audio “in the works”:  Great is Thy Faithfulness (key change section into second verse)

Clarification: The image to the right shows the beginning (not included in this sample audio)

Early Intermediate Christmas Piano Solo: O Come O Come Emmanuel

Friday, September 13th, 2019

I enjoy creating pieces with a certain student in mind. This particular piece goes to one of my older female students who enjoys playing songs in a minor key.

The idea for the introduction hit me as I laid down to sleep this past Wednesday.  I had to get up and write it down or the idea would have been history!

Even though I’m an advanced level pianist, I still enjoy playing this early intermediate arrangement of “O Come O Come Emmanuel”.

Just Published: Great is Thy Faithfulness

Sunday, June 23rd, 2019

Here’s an easy early intermediate sacred piano solo of “Great is Thy Faithfulness”.

This piece was also written for one of my early intermediate students.

I have several students who play in church and are always looking for early intermediate sacred piano solos that don’t take a long time to learn 😉

Church pianists are busy people! Always practicing with choir or other vocal specials…so it’s nice to have an arrangement that the pianist can learn in a reasonable amount of time.
