Sacred Vocal Arrangements by Reece Yandle
Tuesday, February 27th, 2024Some 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.”
New Sacred Christmas Piano Solo: The Birthday of the King
Friday, December 22nd, 2023A 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.
Sacred Christmas Vocal Special: Hallelujah Christ is Born!
Thursday, December 14th, 2023This 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!
Easy-Piano-Christmas Congregationals-Late-Elementary
Tuesday, November 21st, 2023Last 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!

One Day! Published!
Friday, March 10th, 2023About 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.

New Christmas Piano Solo: Hark the Herald Angels Sing
Thursday, December 15th, 2022Sorry but I have not had the time to input a lot of music into sheet music this Christmas. Here’s a quickie for the elementary level of Hark the Herald Angels Sing.
I wrote it for my ten year old grandson to play at this year’s recital and offertory at church.
He enjoyed learning it…especially the intro and big bass ending!
The arrangement consists of an intro, verse, chorus and ending…all in the key of F Major.
Behind the Scenes! Christmas Practice!
Sunday, December 11th, 2022Just thought I would show you a peek of Allissa, one of my piano students, who I’m training to be a church pianist.
She is doing very well! I write the songs for her to play at her level so she can already be getting “hands on” experience before she’s even playing out the hymnal. She has been doing some reading from the church hymnal.
In the following raw video…Allissa is practicing with a young girl’s group while the choir loft is being decorated for this Wednesday night’s annual Christmas play by the kids of our church. Looking forward to the program! Our youth Pastor’s wife writes a play for each year! She is very talented!
