I enjoyed arranging All Creatures of Our God and King.

What an uplifting hymn!  The author of this song, Saint Francis, is better known as Giovanni Bernardone.  He wrote over sixty hymns.

“At the age of 25 Bernardone left an indulgent life as a soldier, renounced his inherited wealth, and determined to live meagerly and to imitate the selfless life of Christ.”  Amazing Grace 366 Inspiring Hymn Stories for Daily Devotions by Kenneth W. Osbeck

This arrangement is written with the intermediate church pianist in mind.

Here’s a song that one of my piano students wrote two years ago that would make a great Thanksgiving special!

He’s a Wondrous Glorious God.  The sheet music can be found at the following link

I felt prone to sit down at the piano yesterday and play several hymns to encourage my Mom who recently had a challenging week.

We miss Dad but will see him again in heaven.  I’m sharing the recording via youtube.

Hope you all enjoy playing this arrangement of No One Understands Like Jesus.  It’s the first arrangement I’ve written since my Dad passed away in June of 2022.

I thought my heart would ache too much to write after Dad’s passing but God has given me more compassion over the old hymns of the faith because they mean so much more now!

This particular advanced sacred piano solo is geared to the advanced church pianist.  I’ve included four long runs for the right hand.  Tip:  Practice the runs S_L_O_W until they begin to flow and then slowly insert the run into its surrounding measures until you’ve mastered each run.

No One Understands Like Jesus

Advanced sacred piano solo in the key of C Major. Includes: two verses and two choruses arranged by Jenifer Cook. This is the first piano arrangement Jenifer has written since her Dad passed away in June 2022. Jenifer found comfort in her dear Savior during this difficult time as she passionately played "No One Understands Like Jesus! He's a Friend beyond compare!"

Price: $4.95

Just wanted to let you all know that I’m just about finished entering No One Understands Like Jesus into my Finale sheet maker.

Now comes the fine tuning such as adding dynamic and articulation marks.

I plan to publish this advanced sacred piano solo this month (July 2022).

Here’s an excerpt from the first page a (rough draft mode)

The entire piece has two verses and two choruses…at least 2 & 1/2 pages

Since my Dad’s passing…

I have had the song, “No One Understands Like Jesus” on my mind.

The words have brought great comfort to me.

 John W Peterson, one of my favorite hymn writers, wrote this beautiful hymn.

I have secured permission from the John W Peterson Company, to write and publish this arrangement.

At the moment, I’m on the last page of the hand written form.  Hope to publish the sheet music sometime in July.

“When I Looked up to the Cross”  is one of my most favorite songs written by my Dad, Reece Yandle.

This particular vocal solo is perfect for Easter.  I love the phrase, “When I looked up to the cross and gaze on His face. That’s when I thank Him for His love and His grace.”  It’s such a powerful song about the death and resurrection of Jesus. Click HERE to see Dad singing this piece.

Dad has another Easter type song entitled “Nevertheless Thy Will be Done” that’s also a great selection around Easter time.  I arranged both of these songs of Dad’s. However, this second piece is only available through Lorenz who is now under GIA Publications. The lyrics to this reflective song… opens with a scene of Jesus kneeling in the garden of Gethsemane and his heart-rending prayer…”Let this cup pass from me…nevertheless Thy will be done.”  The final phrase is “Thus cried the Savior God’s own Son, nevertheless Thy will be done.”

Also note, “Nevertheless Thy Will be Done”, is in a vocal book from various authors.

I do have another vocal arrangement in the same book written by one of my youth directors, Rusty Dillard, and it’s also a great song about the story of Joseph.

Click on the following song links for more information:

When I Looked Up to the Cross 

Nevertheless Thy Will be Done (offsite product) The name of this book is called “No Greater Love”.

Here’s the picture of the vocal song book for “No Greater Love”

About a year ago…I happened across this video of my two piano arrangement for “Showers of Blessing” on youtube.

This peppy two piano hymn arrangement is great for prelude, offertory or postlude.  I enjoy playing piano with others!

Thanks to Lisa and Andy for doing a good job on this two piano arrangement of “Showers of Blessing”. See link below for the sheet music.
