Re- Published Congregational Arrangements!

Friday, January 11th, 2019

Customers from several years ago may have purchased this collection “Congregational Piano Hymn Arrangements Booklet Two”.

I published this collection several years ago but for some odd reason had not been showing up in my store.

I’ve also just published a congregational piano accompaniment for “Great is Thy Faithfulness” thanks to a reader who prompted me to publish it.

Both of these items can be found in my store HERE or you can purchase below.

Congregational Piano Hymn Arrangements (Booklet Two)
10 Late intermediate to early advanced piano congregational arrangements. 37 pages Songs include: And Can it Be, At the Cross, Come Thou Fount, Heaven Came Down, Higher Ground, I Shall Know Him (My Saviour First of All), It's Just Like His Great Love, My Faith Has Found a Resting Place, Near the Cross, What a Friend We Have in Jesus) *Special note: The arrangements in this booklet do not support the four-part singing found in most hymnals. *Other suggested uses: vocal solos, violin specials, unison choir specials. **Another special note: These arrangements can not stand alone as piano solos since some of the melody is absent during the piano accompaniment.
Price: $16.00

 

Great is Thy Faithfulness
Great is Thy Faithfulness
Congregational piano accompaniment, late intermediate to early advanced, 4pgs Contains two verses and two choruses. *Supports unison or soprano and tenor voice parts. Not intended for four part singing.
Price: $4.50

 

 

Simply Hymns arranged by Molly Ijames

Thursday, January 3rd, 2019

I recently ordered “Simply Hymns” by Molly Ijames and it just arrived today.

Just finished playing through the entire book. I love it!

Simple…yet elegant is the best way to describe this sacred piano arrangement book.

Molly provided a nice array of lush chords without sounding too complex.

I like the description of the book: “Accessible Piano Settings for the Church Year”.

Church pianists at the early intermediate up through advanced will enjoy playing this book!

Tastefully done!  The pieces even accommodate the church pianist with small hands!

Molly’s book can be purchased from Lorenz Publishing.

See sample and hear audios HERE.
