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.
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
Sometime back, probably November…one of my church pianist viewers heard me play “Is Your All on the Altar” for one of my facebook lives and requested I write it out.
After several months I finished creating the sheet music today!
I hope to publish the sheet music and youtube video sometime this coming week. (Week of January 26th, 2025)
Here’s a preview of the sheet music and audio sample…*See audio sample below the sheet music sample.
Today’s date: December 11, 2024 (Published on December 14, 2024!
I will publish an early advanced Christmas piano solo this week! Special note:
This arrangement is very similar to my advanced version of O Little Town of Bethlehem.
You may want to compare the first page of both arrangements before purchasing. (I will provide the first page of each asap)
I enjoyed weaving in the “peaceful” pattern to picture the night of Christ’s birth.
Left: older version Right: newer version.
I had almost forgotten to share this intermediate piano arrangement of “I Heard the Bells”. My original arrangement of this title was an advanced version.
This year, one of my intermediate piano students was looking for a recital piece so I came up with this solution. She has done very nice with this arrangement.
Standing on the Promises is now available! I had a hard time settling on the ending so….I shared two endings!
Both the original (early advanced) and simplified version (late intermediate) are included. Two for the price of one!
Since there wasn’t a lot of changes….I just included the simple version with the original.
Have fun deciding which version you like 🙂
I’m adding the final touches to “Standing on the Promises” early advanced piano arrangement!
The arrangement consists of a brief intro, two verses, two choruses and a short ending with a steep climb up the keyboard!
The ending of this piece sounds different than anything I’ve ever done but just seems to fit.
I hope to publish Standing on the Promises by September 4th.
I just published a late intermediate level piano solo of “I Need Thee Every Hour with the chorus of Close to Thee.
The words to both hymns remind me to have total dependence on God.
I’ve always enjoyed pairing I Need Thee with the chorus of Close to Thee.
What a reminder for us all…a call of total dependence on God!
Our God is gracious and tender! He wants us to call on Him.
I pray you have all called on God to be your Savior.
I could not imagine life without Him!
When I got saved at the age of 29…the lyrics of the hymns took on a whole new meaning.
Here’s a sample of the first page for I Need Thee Every Hour Medley…
