Just Published! Lead Me to Calvary

Saturday, June 22nd, 2019

I originally wrote this arrangement for one of my piano students and then forgot about it.  This arrangement of “Lead Me to Calvary”makes an excellent choice for the Lord’s supper, Lent, offertory or another devotional time in your service.

 

Ladies’ Trio: The Love of God

Tuesday, June 4th, 2019

I wrote this ladies’ trio arrangement of “The Love of God” back in 2011.  My younger son’s brother-in-laws sang it for his wedding.

So… I guess ladies or men can sing this one 🙂

Recently, I came across a sampling of the following video on face book…shared by the president of Ambassador Baptist College.

They were generous to supply me with the entire video which I’m sharing below.  The ladies from the college did an excellent job! (So did the pianist)  🙂

Wedding Song: Hearts Forever Joined

Sunday, June 2nd, 2019

Enjoyed recording this new wedding song “Hearts Forever Joined” during our vacation this past weekend.

Suggested use: during the prelude to a wedding or after the recessional.

I guess you could say this is my first non-lyric tune to write. Words may come at a later date but wanted to make

it available as prelude or postlude music for a wedding.

We tried our best to create the right balance of (background sound with piano but the river was too overbearing)  😉

Last year’s recording was a little easier because the water wasn’t as busy as this place.   I still enjoyed the backdrop!

New Sacred Piano Solo: There is a Fountain

Tuesday, March 26th, 2019

I loved writing this arrangement because I wrote how I felt like expressing it at the time.  When I try to structure my pieces…it sometimes stifles my creativity.

But….structure is also good because it makes the piece more playable…without awkward leaps and such.

I have SO many favorite hymns and “There is a Fountain” is on that list!

I tried to depict an overflowing fountain in the beginning and ended with a different twist…still sounding as a fountain.

This piece is geared to the early to moderately advanced church pianist. The entire arrangement stays in the key of C but contains a lot of full chords.

There is a Fountain
Early to Moderately Advanced Sacred Piano Solo, Approx. 1:40
Price: $3.95

 

Easter Piano Offertory: There is a Fountain

Monday, March 25th, 2019

 

I’m working on a new Easter piano offertory at the moment. I’m actually inputting it into Finale right now.

I hope to publish “There is a Fountain” by no later than tomorrow.  Sorry for delay but many things on my plate right now.

This particular arrangement of ‘There is a Fountain” is for the early to moderately advanced church pianist due to the big, full chords.

Oh…I started out with a “flowing water” sound to depict an overflowing fountain filled with God’s redemption.  🙂

Two Piano Version of When I Survey

Friday, February 1st, 2019

I was able to adapt When I Survey Ensemble to a two piano arrangement.  I know not every church has three pianos in addition to flute and clarinet but hope this arrangement of When I Survey will be more feasible for the church pianist(s).

We have two pianos (one grand plus one digital piano) at our church on opposite ends of the stage.  I’m going to add strings and have one of our pianists play the digital for the strings.  I’m bringing in two… 76 key keyboards and placing them facing me at the grand piano.  The flutes and clarinet will play from the front pew facing the pianos.  I have found it easier to stay together when positioning the instruments as close as possible to each other with the pianists facing each or maybe side view (depending on the space) in order to see each other’s movements for unified playing.

I’m sharing a “buy it now” and preview of the two piano version below. Click on the image to view a sample page from each piano part.
