I just published an early intermediate sacred piano solo of “Am I a Soldier of the Cross”. One of my male students specifically requested this song for an offertory arrangement. Knowing this hymn was rather short…I asked him if he would like a medley with this song in it but he didn’t seem interested in my suggestion….so…I had to add an interesting intro, interlude and ending just to make this arrangement last long enough 😉
You’ll notice more structure in this piece since it was written for the student in mind.
I also wrote this two piano arrangement of Brethren We Have Met to Worship….years ago for the same student who played “Come Ye Sinners Poor and Needy”.
We enjoyed playing this duet. Here is his younger brother playing Brethren We Have Met to Worship with one of our college students.
The simplicity of the piece benefited their minimal practice time 😉
I wrote “Come Ye Sinners Poor and Needy” piano arrangement for one of my former male students who loved playing hymns in minor keys.
He’s now a college student but considers this his all-time favorite. This particular arrangement was written with the piano student in mind…along with ample finger suggestions.
You’ll notice a more structured arrangement here to aid the intermediate church pianist.
Early intermediate sacred piano solo, arranged by Jenifer Cook, 3 & 1/2 pgs.
Written for the student in mind with ample fingering suggestions. Well-structured for easy learning. This piece does have a slight celtic flair.
I wrote this for one of my former male piano students who LOVED hymns in minor keys. He's in college now but still considers this his all-time favorite.
I’ll be publishing a new piano arrangement this week for the early intermediate church pianist….”I Will Arise and Go to Jesus” or may be better known as “Come Ye Sinners Poor and Needy”. Which title do you suggest? I seem to find more internet results with the title…”Come Ye Sinners Poor & Needy”.
I may place the lesser known title in parenthesis underneath the well-known title on the first page of the arrangement.
I know this one took me a while but I’m especially picky with vocal arrangements…trying to get them just so for publication.
I’ll probably want to tweak it here and there over time but there’s a time where an artist’s creation must come to a close.
This particular song reminds me that my God is always watching over me. I don’t need to feel discouraged or troubled because God is my constant Friend and He cares for me!
I also plan to publish this in a lower key if there’s a need.
I just stumbled across this simple yet elegant; free piano arrangement when viewing my latest subscriptions of youtube videos.
Love to hear Suyun’s sacred piano videos on youtube 🙂 Thanks Suyun for making us aware of this free piano arrangement for Spirit of the Living God.
The free piano arrangement for Spirit of the Living God can be downloaded at Olive Huisman’s website. (you will find more free piano arrangements as well!)
A big thanks to Olive Huisman for sharing her piano arrangements for free!
Finished inputting “His Eye is on the Sparrow” (all 6 pages)
I would be to my parent’s house by now for Father’s Day weekend but truck in shop prevented the trip.
So…here I sit catching up on His Eye is on the Sparrow 🙂
This particular arrangement has a very full-sounding accompaniment style which means pretty advanced level.
Now for final editing stage. Here’s a sample from the piano/vocal arrangement for His Eye is on the Sparrow...(I used a flute for the vocal score in the recording)
Mina’s songbooks make the perfect resource for church pianists who play for vocal specials. The arrangements in the books are simplified and perfect for the church pianist who can improvise.
