Free Sacred Piano Arrangement: Christ Returneth (part two)

I enjoyed improvising the chorus of “Christ Returneth”.  There are fewer chord changes in the chorus, making it easier to add extra movement.  The frequent half notes also provide time for fill-ins. 

This arrangement was written for the  intermediate to late intermediate level church pianist.  The advanced church pianist can just play more four-note chords in the right hand where feasible.

Editor Highlights for Part Two of “Christ Returneth”

1. page two (first measure)  The left hand octave movement is used to create excitement to match the words “Jesus will come in the fullness of glory”. 

2.  page two, measure #20 (where chorus begins)  A simple accompaniment is used for a more “subdued” mood.

3. page three, measure #30, third count, right hand (right hand plays octaver higher for contrast…but still remains soft).

    Dearest Jenifer,

    I love Easter and love worshipping our Lord. I am so appreciative of your talent and that you share it with us. This music inspires me to be a better pianist and more, a better witness for him. I have shared with fellow Christians the love of Christ through your music.

    God will richly bless you for giving us a new lease on the music ministry.

    Have a great Easter as we celebrate our Saviors resurrection.

    In Christ,

    Vicki
