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 Piano Hymn Arrangement: “Under His Wings”
Friday, February 16th, 2024“Under His Wings” ….a hymn of great comfort! The lyrics were written by William O. Cushing.
William was a pastor in New York during the mid 1800’s. His wife died after twenty four years of marriage.
Shortly after his wife’s death…he developed “creeping paralysis” which prevented him from using his voice to preach.
William pleaded with the Lord to give him some other way to minister.
God did just that. William wrote over 300 hymns. “Under His Wings” was a result of William going through hard times.
William may have based this hymn from the following Bible verse.
Psalm 17:8 “Hide me under the shadow of your wings.”

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!
