“We Plow the Fields and Scatter” may not be a familiar hymn to some circles but this is a great song for Thanksgiving or anytime of year!
One of my readers requested piano accompaniment of this song for a trumpet solo… back in July of this year and I finally finished it.
I had a lot of fun with this one! Thanks for this song suggestion Cherie!
Just to let everyone know….working on a FREE advanced Christmas piano solo of “In the Bleak Mid Winter”.
Hope to publish it by no later than Wednesday of this coming week…just started it yesterday.
I have two ideas for the introduction but can’t decide which one to use. I like them both!
Looking forward to sharing this free piano arrangement with you!
Received a request from a church pianist just yesterday for this piano solo arrangement of He Hideth My Soul.
This free piano arrangement can be used as a short offertory or prelude special.
I will provide this song in two different keys 🙂
He Hideth My Soul in D Flat Major
He Hideth My Soul in C Major
I have posted audios for my piano solo arrangements of Amazing Grace & Saviour Like a Shepherd (from the Funeral Collection).. on youtube.
Several of my readers have asked if I could post all of the arrangements from my Funeral Collection on youtube. I will do so as time permits. Thanks for your interest!
These arrangements can also be used as offertories, vocal solos or violin specials! Saviour Like a Shepherd would also be appropriate for a wedding 😉
Just wanted to announce to my readers that the piano funeral collection is now available in the music store.
In the near future, the songs will also be sold separately.
Hear audio excerpts from several of the hymns below:
Amazing Grace & Saviour Like a Shepherd
I just published an early advanced Christmas piano solo of “The First Noel” in the key of C Major. This arrangement, containing two verses, would be easy to learn for the average church pianist.
I thoroughly enjoyed creating this advanced Christmas piano solo of “What Child is This”.
The style of this piece was greatly influenced by my exposure to Spanish classical music…especially in verse one…right hand broken arpeggios with left hand melody. Enrique Granados was my favorite Spanish classical composer.
To be honest…I had a difficult time trying to figure out HOW to communicate the correct rhythm for the run in measure #35. I know how it’s suppose to sound..but it’s another story trying to get that across to everyone else. The run (in print)… played back the right way in my music program (Finale).
Hopefully…the following video of “What Child is This”… SHOULD be helpful. I did include a few tips at the end of the video for the right hand run in measure #35.
I just posted another new late elementary piano arrangement of “Gesu Bambino“. This Christmas piano solo was written for one of my very industrious late beginner students several years ago and I just discovered it in my pile of files 🙂
My student really enjoyed playing this piece because of the flowing texture.
