The timing of publication for this arrangement was good for me.

I needed the reminder of seeking God’s comfort…a place of quiet rest…near to the heart of God.

May this arrangement be used to encourage others.

Near to the Heart of God

Early advanced sacred piano solo arranged by Jenifer Cook A very devotional setting for this well loved hymn. Christians can find a place of quiet rest ...only found in Jesus.

Price: $3.75

I’m unable to publish my arrangement of Near to the Heart of God today.

Our internet service is the cuplprit.

Hopefully I will be able to publish the arrangement tomorrow.

I will keep in touch.

I was able to at least publish the video of the arrangement.

Just finished creating an early advanced piano hymn solo entitled…”Near to the Heart of God”.

There is truly a place of quiet rest, a place of comfort sweet and a place of full release!

We can find peace and comfort if we stay “Near to the heart of God.”

Here’s a glance at the first page of this heart-felt arrangement.  Take your time as you travel across the keys… with a message of hope.

I will publish this arrangement by June 9th 2025

When I first started out with my website, I didn’t always publish a youtube video for each arrangement.

So…I’m now creating youtube videos for the arrangements lacking a video.

Here are the first four…

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 hope this arrangement is a blessing to you!   I enjoyed writing another homespun arrangement of an old hymn.

The words to this hymn reminds the Christian of complete surrender to Jesus.

Is Your All on the Altar

Just realized this advanced sacred piano solo was missing from the music store list for advanced piano solos!

The arrangement managed to sell over 200 copies when it was up and running.   So…this piece is either an old piece to some of you from way back or….a new piece as of now 🙂

The name of the advanced piano medley is “Sweet Hour of Prayer Medley” *Includes the song:  “I Must Tell Jesus”

It’s a five page piece and also available in the Early Advanced Solo Collection #1
