I like it when a person looks me up at least two weeks in advance to practice their scheduled vocal or offertory special instead of waiting until the last minute to rehearse.
This doesn’t include those who have to fill in at the last minute.
Which brings me to another topic…
It would be great if we all had a standby song/arrangement ready to play at a moment’s notice. People do get sick or have other unavoidable circumstances arise that makes for last minute cancellations. If we could get all of our special music crowd (vocal or instrumental) to do this (including ourselves).
Which reminds me…it’s time for me to rehearse standby offertory specials! 🙂
What I’m reviewing: (Click on titles to go to source of arrangement)
“It is Well” arranged by Faye Lopez (my favorite “It is Well” advanced arrangement!)
Many of you have purchased my advanced or real advanced arrangement of“Abide With Me”
Someone recently requested I share fingering suggestions for measure #30. Another tip about this measure…I take it slow enough to handle the excessive movement in the left hand.
*See video below to hear measures #22 through #30 (time marker 1:01-1:26) It will give you a better idea of how this transitional section flows into the new key.
I’m selling a Christmas piano book entitled “Prepare Him Room” advanced arrangements by Dan Forrest.
