Just thought I’d share what I’m currently writing. I have been sick since Sunday and itching to get back to writing. We were out of town all last week on a family visit…so looking forward to getting back to work…writing music!
Over the past several years I have been transcribing arrangements from my “Simply Christmas” CD. I’m almost done with the handwritten version of “Manger Medley” as played on my Christmas CD. I would consider this arrangement to be early advanced.
I recently arranged an easy men’s three part arrangement of the old hymn “Are Ye Able,” Said the Master The text of this hymn challenges us to live our lives fully for Christ…remembering how He sacrificed all to lay down His life for us. I’ll be publishing a video of one of our men’s group singing this arrangement and the sheet music will be availalble in our online music store at:
Oh how I love hymns with such rich meaning! May we all focus more on what we’re singing. It’s SO easy to just get caught up on a melody. (I needed that reminder)
For church pianists in the early intermediate level….here’s a piano congregational of “Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne” that I barely squeezed in for this Christmas.

Intermediate Christmas piano solo, 3 pgs.
This is a more simplified arrangement of Jenifer's advanced edition of "In the Bleak Midwinter"
Jenifer wrote this at the request of one of her intermediate level students.
I just published “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” early advanced piano solo in my online music store.
The lyrics in this Christmas carol depict a celebrative mood..announcing Christ’s birth. I enjoyed creating a festive sound throughout this arrangement. The entire arrangement will be published on youtube soon.
