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.
Some of you may know my Dad, Reece Yandle. He passed away in June of 2022 at the age of 85.
I would like to host a tribute to Dad and his music in the near future.
It has been difficult to do so just yet but I will begin preparing
I miss him SO much but thankful for the music legacy he left behind about his Lord.
I’m honored to share his sacred vocal music here on my website. ( I do have some of Dad’s songs on youtube.)
I’ve entered five of his songs in my music store for the time being….and will publish more as time allows.
One of the sacred vocal solo songs entitled “Cleft of the Rock” has been a comfort to me s I sift through Dad’s music for the first time since his homegoing.
“In the cleft of the Rock is my refuge, He doth cover me there with His hand.
Though the storms of this life may beset me.
On the Rock of His promise I stand.”
A last minute piano solo Christmas arrangement for the early advanced church pianist.
Sorry for the late post due to me getting the flu. Thankful for God’s healing.
This has become my favorite Christmas vocal solo. My Dad wrote this at least ten years ago.
I like the minor key for the verses with a great story line about God’s birth to his death followed by a triumphant chorus proclaiming “Hallelujah! Christ is Born!”
Our men of the choir really like singing this piece!
Last year, I wrote out the following arrangements for my late elementary to early intermediate student who covered for me while I was out of town on a Sunday.
I created arrangements that would be easy for my student to learn in time to play. The student I’m speaking about is our Pastor’s daughter. She is now a true early intermediate and enjoys taking part in our music ministry. I’m excited with her progress! Would love to share what all she’s been doing but will save that for her interview after Thanksgiving.
Each of these arrangements include an introduction. The songs are also in a lower key for the benefit of our congregation. Our congregation sings out SO much more when we lower the hymns. These arrangements can be used for piano solos or congregational singing!
About a month until Easter to learn this very advanced piano solo.
I like how this hymn summarizes Jesus’ life.
This would make a great Christmas or Easter arrangement!
We use this hymn all year round in our congregational singing or for a choir special.
