I’m working on a late intermediate piano solo of “Christ Arose”.  I will use B flat and C major in this piece.

I created a poll on my facebook musician’s page yesterday with a choice of three different Easter songs.

So far…”Christ Arose” has the most votes.  Over half of the arrangement has been created…in handwritten form.

It takes a lot less time inputting the song into my software than it does to initially create it by hand.

Trying to finish asap.

Update:  Publishing this arrangement tomorrow (March 29th 2025)

My sickness has slowed me down but getting better.

I will be publishing “The Holy City” very advanced piano solo tomorrow by 8pm! (EST)

This has been the most challenging arrangement I’ve ever written!  I tried to stay true to the original texture of this piece.

Since the original arrangement is public domain, I was able to adapt and rearrange this piece for a piano solo.

Hope some of you are able to learn this in time for Easter!

Special note:  The entire arrangement is eight pages.  For a shorter version:  Omit pages three and four.  My recording is the shorter version.

At least a month ago, one of my readers requested an arrangement of The Holy City.   At first I didn’t want to tackle this beautiful piece.  I’ve always played the piano accompaniment score for my Dad to sing.  Staying true to the original form was on my mind as I began creating the arrangement for this classic hymn.

I’m doing something a little unusual this time.  Since this arrangement is in the public domain…I’m simply adapting the piece from a vocal arrangement to a piano solo.

This means that it’s legally fine for me to borrow the intro and interludes and still add my own arrangement.

I am nearing the end of the entire piece!  (handwritten format)

This coming week….I  will input this piece into my notation software.

Here is an easier version of my advanced level for Were You There?

I wrote this piece for one of my piano students.

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.

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.” 

For those who purchased my advanced piano arrangement for “One Day”.

Here are several tips that may help as you practice this piece for Easter.

Here’s a free arrangement of Christ Arose for the early intermediate church pianist.

Most hymnals offer this  Easter hymn in the key of C Major.  I’ve provided this arrangement in a lower key…B flat major.

This early intermediate piano arrangement was written for one of my students who is the church pianist for her church.
