Intermediate Christmas piano solo, 3 pgs.
This is a more simplified arrangement of Jenifer's advanced edition of "In the Bleak Midwinter"
Jenifer wrote this at the request of one of her intermediate level students.
I just published “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” early advanced piano solo in my online music store.
The lyrics in this Christmas carol depict a celebrative mood..announcing Christ’s birth. I enjoyed creating a festive sound throughout this arrangement. The entire arrangement will be published on youtube soon.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Composer’s Symposium this past July in Atlanta. I made a connection with someone there (thanks Marty Parks!) who strongly suggested I try submitting “Abide With Me” via Lloyd Larson of Lillenas Publishing Co.
I finally emailed my arrangement to Lloyd just a couple months ago. He responded by asking me to do an early intermediate piano solo book instead. Wow!
We’re in the beginning stages of deciding on a book title and song list. I look forward to this new adventure! This will be my second book to be published by another company. My first solo piano book is entitled “Showers of Blessing” (early intermediate)published by Soundforth who is now under Lorenz Publishing Co.
My new book will be published (hopefully) by November of next year. At my age, a year’s time goes in a flash…especially with many other writing projects at hand!
Thanks for everyone encouraging me to write more! I plan to!! I’m living my dream…always wanted to write and share with others.
Just had to share one of my favorite transitional parts of the “Gesu Bambino” two piano arrangement. I will be entering this arrangement in the Holiday Arranging competition hosted by SMPress.

Here’s a sampling of “Gesu Bambino” two piano arrangement (It’s similar to the arrangement on my“Simply Christmas” CD.
I met a nice young lady at the Composer Symposium this past summer who attends the church where my husband and I were married!
She is a great violinist and offered to add the violin bow & slur marks to my arrangement of “Nearer My God to Thee”. It has taken me a while to finalize the arrangement but now complete and available in our music store.
A big thanks to Abby Phillips for adding the violin markings! See video of Abby below playing her own arrangement of “I’d Rather Have Jesus” in her home church.
Sacred violin solo w/ piano accompaniment; 4 pgs. *Price covers two copies.
A nice solo piece for any occasion. The beautiful melody of this hymn flows gently back and forth between the piano and violin. *Bowing & slur marks included for violin.
