Can’t wait to publish this Easter/Palm Sunday Ensemble of When I Survey the Wondrous Cross.

Palm Sunday/Easter Ensemble Update! Piano Trio Plus…
Tuesday, January 22nd, 2019To purchase this ensemble….click HERE
I’m trying VERY hard to publish my Easter/Palm Sunday Piano trio + flute duet + optional clarinet part….by this weekend!
Here are sample pics thus far….Click on image below to enlarge for better viewing.
I just need to enter the optional clarinet score into Finale and my piano part (Piano #1)
I created this as an easy-to-learn ensemble since we will have limited group practices.
Piano #1 (early advanced)
Piano #2 (late intermediate)
Piano #3 (early intermediate)
Flute & Clarinet are rather easy too.
Re- Published Congregational Arrangements!
Friday, January 11th, 2019Customers 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.
Simply Hymns arranged by Molly Ijames
Thursday, January 3rd, 2019I 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.
Gesu Bambino (two piano)
Thursday, December 13th, 2018Here’s a very festive sounding two piano Christmas arrangement which I wrote last year. I already published it on Sheet Music Plus last year and just now remembering to plug it into my online store. I thoroughly enjoyed playing this duo with a friend on facebook live a year ago. I’ve included a video of myself playing with my keyboard recording 🙂
