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.
I will publish “One Day” advanced piano solo tomorrow March 10th 2023
I just finished inputting the surprise Easter piano solo arrangement into my note software!
Now for the final touches before publication. It’s four pages in length (Two verses and two choruses)
Here’s a peek at one of the measures…
I also have an early advanced arrangement of “Crown Him.”
Today’s publication of “Crown Him” is at least a little different from the other one…enough to warrant publishing this second advanced arrangement 😉
I will publish a recording of this arrangement tomorrow (March 4, 2023)
I’m considering arranging “One Day” for an Easter offertory.
How many of you church pianists know this hymn and is it familiar to your church?
Thanks for your input!
Several of my viewers are asking for sheet music to a short video I did on youtube this past week. The four hymns were spontaneous. So, in time I will try to create at least one more from that particular video. It will probably be “Near to the Heart of God”.
“All the Way My Savior Leads Me” was the first hymn I played in the short video. I would guess this is an early advanced level. My spontaneous pieces do not always have much structure but you’re welcome to wade through my homespun version of this hymn.
This piece wouldn’t take much prep time for the early advanced to advanced church pianist.
Thanks to those who encouraged me to create sheet music for All the Way My Savior Leads Me.
Merry Christmas to you all! I’m sharing the edited version of my recent Facebook Live event…December 20th 2022
Suggestion: If you want to see the links to available sheet music for some of the pieces I played….First….enlarge the video below and click the word “youtube” on this video. Once you’re viewing this video on youtube…see the sheet music links in the video description underneath the video.
Sorry 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.
Just 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!
