Here is an easier version of my advanced level for Were You There?
I wrote this piece for one of my piano students.
Come join me for an evening of Christmas carols this coming Thursday, December 19th at 8pm EST.
I will be playing live on Facebook at the following link: PIANO CHRISTMAS MUSIC
Today’s date: December 11, 2024 (Published on December 14, 2024!
I will publish an early advanced Christmas piano solo this week! Special note:
This arrangement is very similar to my advanced version of O Little Town of Bethlehem.
You may want to compare the first page of both arrangements before purchasing. (I will provide the first page of each asap)
I enjoyed weaving in the “peaceful” pattern to picture the night of Christ’s birth.
Left: older version Right: newer version.
I had almost forgotten to share this intermediate piano arrangement of “I Heard the Bells”. My original arrangement of this title was an advanced version.
This year, one of my intermediate piano students was looking for a recital piece so I came up with this solution. She has done very nice with this arrangement.
I started writing this arrangement a couple of months ago and then misplaced it! I just found it this past weekend and was able to finish it today.
It was fun to use a lot of colorful chords for a more majestic sound.
The approximate time of this piece is 1:40.
My Dad, Reece Yandle, wrote this moving song many years ago. It’s finally available in print!
I wish I had a recording of him singing this arrangement.
This Patriotic song has a wonderful message….reminding us to love our country and to remember that God gave us America and we need to keep her free!
The beginning of the chorus reminds us to honor our flag
“Lift up the flag of the red, white and blue,
The emblem of courage, the banner of the free!”
This is definitely a “flag waving” song!
Another easy to learn patriotic piece requiring minimal practice!
I wrote this one for my daughter-in-law and myself to learn the weekend before Memorial Day.
It turned out real nice! Sounds big but not as hard as it may sound.
My favorite parts are the intro, the small run from piano to piano on the third page and the colorful chord progression used for the ending!
I apologize for the hold up in publishing Lynndale Hardmen’s song “God Has Provided a Lamb.
Lynndale also wrote “God Can” and “Thou Art Worthy”.
We attend a small church and I have limited resources for securing people for vocal numbers.
I will add a video or audio as soon as possible. Click here to hear Lynndale Hardeman tell the stories behind these three songs.
Time to start practicing for a Mother’s Day special! Our ladies and young girls are going to sing “My Mother” this year.
There’s a total of three verses. The song also has a chorus.
Verse one and two sound best for the ladies. Verse three is appropriate for the young girls. (Ages 4 through teens)
The girls will join in on all the choruses.
We start rehearsing this Sunday until the day we sing on Mother’s Day.
