Great is Thy Faithfulness is one of my favorite hymns to this day! I was SO excited when I found out it would be in the public domain as of January 2019!
Yes, it took awhile for me to create this sacred piano solo but finally settled on the arrangement.
Warning: This is a VERY advanced piano solo of Great is Thy Faithfulness. I actually enjoy writing this level the most because I can pull out all the stops and not feel as restricted.
One challenge for me is recording myself at the piano. I get nervous! So..I tried to play by the music 🙂 I hope this arrangement is a blessing to the advanced church pianist looking for an offertory. (Hint: would make a nice selection for Thanksgiving Sunday)
Advanced sacred piano solo arranged by Jenifer Cook 6 pgs.
Contains two verses and choruses.
A beautiful setting of this well-loved hymn. Your listeners will be tempted to sing along with this heart-felt arrangement of Great is Thy Faithfulness.
Meryt Wilson and I REALLY enjoyed getting together a couple weeks ago to discuss Accompanying Vocal Specials. We came up with a series of short videos talking about various ideas on accompanying the vocalist.
Here are several practice tips for the church pianist who plays for vocal specials.
In our next video…we’ll share a couple thoughts when creating an intro for a vocal solo. Meryt sings while I try to create intros!
I’m thrilled to FINALLY have this arrangement in print of “His Name is Wonderful to Me” written by my Dad, Reece Yandle.

Finding time to practice vocal specials is a challenge for most church pianists! Listen to Meryt Wilson and Jenifer Cook as they discuss this challenging topic.
Meryt Wilson, one of my dear piano friends and myself, try to get together at least once a year to boost our music creativity.
We decided this year to discuss the topic of Accompanying vocal specials.
This is just a candid conversation that took place between us.
Choosing the song for a singer may not be needed most of the time… but here are some suggestions on how it could benefit some singers.
Next video excerpt will discuss practicing tips with vocal specials! Have you ever heard of audacity? I’ll mention it in the next video.
What is the accompanist’s role? Should the vocal soloist sing a song just because it’s their favorite? What to do if a singer forgets his or her words? Should you play melody throughout?
Come join Jenifer Cook & Meryt Wilson for a time of discussion on the above topics and more…including funny or embarrassing moments as accompanists at the keyboard.
To be aired here on Jenifer’s website this Saturday, August 17, 2019.
Just finished recording this arrangement to my youtube channel. This particular arrangement of “Crown Him with Many Crowns” is available in my book entitled “My Redeemer and Friend” published by Lorenz.
One of my early intermediate students is working on this particular arrangement right now. She said it was comfortable to the hand and plans on playing it for offertory at her church.
“It is Well”, a favorite among many of us. I just had to share this uplifting video of my Dad leading “It is Well” for a group of Christian educator’s at a convention several years ago in Myrtle Beach, SC. Although you can’t see the crowd….you can tell they were singing from their hearts.
It was my honor to accompany Dad for the congregational singing and for his vocal solos. Dad really “feels” the music which you will notice in the video below.
My parents have always encouraged me to serve the Lord through music. For that, I am truly grateful.
I wrote this ladies’ trio arrangement of “The Love of God” back in 2011. My younger son’s brother-in-laws sang it for his wedding.
So… I guess ladies or men can sing this one 🙂
Recently, I came across a sampling of the following video on face book…shared by the president of Ambassador Baptist College.
They were generous to supply me with the entire video which I’m sharing below. The ladies from the college did an excellent job! (So did the pianist) 🙂
