Here is an easier version of my advanced level for Were You There?

I wrote this piece for one of my piano students.

Were You There (Early Intermediate)

Early intermediate sacred piano solo. Arranged by Jenifer Cook Begins in c minor and ends in C Major. Written at this level for one of my piano students. See video below of entire arrangement. This intense arrangement paints a vivid picture of the death and resurrection of Christ. *Advanced version of this arrangement is also available on my advanced list of arrangements.

Price: $4.50

I hope this arrangement is a blessing to you!   I enjoyed writing another homespun arrangement of an old hymn.

The words to this hymn reminds the Christian of complete surrender to Jesus.

Is Your All on the Altar

Advanced sacred piano solo arranged by Jenifer Cook Five pages, Approximately 2 & 1/2 minutes This arrangement contains an intro, two verses & choruses, ending. Keys: F and G

Price: $5.00

Just realized this advanced sacred piano solo was missing from the music store list for advanced piano solos!

The arrangement managed to sell over 200 copies when it was up and running.   So…this piece is either an old piece to some of you from way back or….a new piece as of now 🙂

The name of the advanced piano medley is “Sweet Hour of Prayer Medley” *Includes the song:  “I Must Tell Jesus”

It’s a five page piece and also available in the Early Advanced Solo Collection #1

Sweet Hour of Prayer Medley

Advanced sacred piano solo, 5 pgs Also available in the Advanced Solo Collection #1

Come join me for an evening of Christmas carols this coming Thursday, December 19th at 8pm EST.

Today’s date:  December 11, 2024  (Published on December 14, 2024!

I will publish an early advanced Christmas piano solo this week! Special note:

This arrangement is very similar to my advanced version of O Little Town of Bethlehem.

You may want to compare the first page of both arrangements before purchasing. (I will provide the first page of each asap)

I enjoyed weaving in the “peaceful” pattern to picture the night of Christ’s birth.

 Left: older version  Right: newer version.

O Little Town of Bethlehem (early advanced)

Early advanced Christmas piano solo. Three pages. Key of G Major throughout. Take note: This arrangement does have similar sections to my Advanced version. See video below.

I had almost forgotten to share this intermediate piano arrangement of “I Heard the Bells”.  My original arrangement of this title was an advanced version.

This year, one of my intermediate piano students was looking for a recital piece so I came up with this solution.   She has done very nice with this arrangement.

I Heard the Bells (intermediate)

Intermediate Christmas Piano Solo, Two pages. Contains an intro. two verses and ending...all in the key of C Major. This arrangement is also available as an advanced piano solo.

Price: $3.00

Please excuse the poor video quality but was the best I could do.

Allissa is one of my piano students who is being groomed for the role of church pianist.

Listen to Allissa share her experiences as she has become more involved in the music ministry at our church.

Book list is included in the description under the youtube video. I will also share it here too:

Here are the sacred piano books she mentions in this video:

1. The Piano Student’s Hymnal (for congregational singing). https://www.alfred.com/the-piano-stud… 2. Showers of Blessing (offertories arranged by Jenifer Cook). https://lorenz.com/shop/keyboard/pian… 3. Basic Adult Sacred Piano Book (easy offertories!) https://www.alfred.com/alfreds-basic-…

I just published a late intermediate level piano solo of “I Need Thee Every Hour with the chorus of Close to Thee.

The words to both hymns remind me to have total dependence on God.

I Need Thee Medley

Late intermediate sacred piano solo arranged by Jenifer Cook. Four pages in length. 2:30 approx. length

Price: $4.30

Wow!  This arrangement of Make Me a Blessing  was literally a handful to write …but fun too!

Have you ever thought about the mood of verse one?  The lyrics are on the sad side for the first part of the first verse.

So, I began in a minor key and then transitioned to Major key as the words depicted.

You need long fingers to reach some of the chords….especially the tenth chord in the left hand on the third page.

No worries…it’s a “rolled” chord 😉

Take a listen to see if this arrangement is fit for your comfort 😉

Make Me a Blessing

Very advanced sacred piano solo arranged by Jenifer Cook. Contains: intro, verse, chorus, 2nd verse and chorus with ending. Began in C minor and then to C Major, D Major and F Major! Approx. length 2:45

Price: $4.50

I need your help!   Thank you!  🙂
