I’m working on a new Easter piano offertory at the moment. I’m actually inputting it into Finale right now.

I hope to publish “There is a Fountain” by no later than tomorrow.  Sorry for delay but many things on my plate right now.

This particular arrangement of ‘There is a Fountain” is for the early to moderately advanced church pianist due to the big, full chords.

Oh…I started out with a “flowing water” sound to depict an overflowing fountain filled with God’s redemption.  🙂

I came across some beautiful CD’s  a few years ago that I just love to play for a relaxing background at home.

The two CDs I have are “Springtime Reflections” and “Peaceful Praise”.

One day, I looked up the arranger online and to my pleasure…I found the arrangements were also available in sheet music!

Dave Combs, the publisher, generously mailed me copies of Gary’s books so that I could share sound samples with my readers.

You can find the following books from the video below at www.combsmusic.com

They also have free sound samples and sheet music samples HERE

Special note: “Inspirational Treasures” shown on the left below, contains the song “Beneath the Cross” (excerpt in video) and makes a nice Easter special.

I was able to adapt When I Survey Ensemble to a two piano arrangement.  I know not every church has three pianos in addition to flute and clarinet but hope this arrangement of When I Survey will be more feasible for the church pianist(s).

We have two pianos (one grand plus one digital piano) at our church on opposite ends of the stage.  I’m going to add strings and have one of our pianists play the digital for the strings.  I’m bringing in two… 76 key keyboards and placing them facing me at the grand piano.  The flutes and clarinet will play from the front pew facing the pianos.  I have found it easier to stay together when positioning the instruments as close as possible to each other with the pianists facing each or maybe side view (depending on the space) in order to see each other’s movements for unified playing.

I’m sharing a “buy it now” and preview of the two piano version below. Click on the image to view a sample page from each piano part.

I’m trying VERY hard to publish my Easter/Palm Sunday Piano trio + flute duet + optional clarinet part….by this weekend!

Here are sample pics thus far….Click on image below to enlarge for better viewing.

I just need to enter the optional clarinet score into Finale and my piano part (Piano #1)

I created this as an easy-to-learn ensemble since we will have limited group practices.

Piano #1 (early advanced)

Piano #2 (late intermediate)

Piano #3 (early intermediate)

Flute & Clarinet are rather easy too.

Customers from several years ago may have purchased this collection “Congregational Piano Hymn Arrangements Booklet Two”.

I published this collection several years ago but for some odd reason had not been showing up in my store.

I’ve also just published a congregational piano accompaniment for “Great is Thy Faithfulness” thanks to a reader who prompted me to publish it.

Both of these items can be found in my store HERE or you can purchase below.

Congregational Piano Hymn Arrangements (Booklet Two)

10 Late intermediate to early advanced piano congregational arrangements. 37 pages Songs include: And Can it Be, At the Cross, Come Thou Fount, Heaven Came Down, Higher Ground, I Shall Know Him (My Saviour First of All), It's Just Like His Great Love, My Faith Has Found a Resting Place, Near the Cross, What a Friend We Have in Jesus) *Special note: The arrangements in this booklet do not support the four-part singing found in most hymnals. *Other suggested uses: vocal solos, violin specials, unison choir specials. **Another special note: These arrangements can not stand alone as piano solos since some of the melody is absent during the piano accompaniment.

Price: $16.00

Great is Thy Faithfulness

Congregational piano accompaniment, late intermediate to early advanced, 4pgs Contains two verses and two choruses. *Supports unison or soprano and tenor voice parts. Not intended for four part singing.

Price: $4.50

I recently ordered “Simply Hymns” by Molly Ijames and it just arrived today.

Just finished playing through the entire book. I love it!

Simple…yet elegant is the best way to describe this sacred piano arrangement book.

Molly provided a nice array of lush chords without sounding too complex.

I like the description of the book: “Accessible Piano Settings for the Church Year”.

Church pianists at the early intermediate up through advanced will enjoy playing this book!

Tastefully done!  The pieces even accommodate the church pianist with small hands!

Molly’s book can be purchased from Lorenz Publishing.

See sample and hear audios HERE.

Here’s a very festive sounding two piano Christmas arrangement which I wrote last year.   I already published it on Sheet Music Plus last year and just now remembering to plug it into my online store.  I thoroughly enjoyed playing this duo with a friend on facebook live a year ago. I’ve included  a video of myself playing with my keyboard recording 🙂

Advanced two piano Christmas arrangement by Jenifer Cook 10 pages, Approx. length: 4:00 Great piece for offertory or recital! A very festive sounding selection with lots of contrast! The performers will appreciate the balanced interchange between parts.
