Look who covered for me last night during prelude!
It’s so nice to have my students help out in our music ministry.
We had a few kinks (due to my oversight).
I had Allissa (the more advanced student) play the intros for the couple hymns they played together. They all played a review piece by themselves too. The prelude lasted about six minutes.
Very advanced sacred piano solo, 4 pgs.
This is one of the most difficult arrangements Jenifer has written. Page four is a challenge but worth learning! Hear Jenifer play this arrangement on the video below as well as the story behind this comforting hymn.
I’ll be playing a handful of John W Peterson songs in addition to a new advanced arrangement of God Will Take Care of You.
I plan to publish God Will Take Care of You by this Saturday. Speaking of comforting hymns…WHAT a comforting hymn! The words and melody are SO soothing. Once you hear the story behind this hymn written in 1904….the hymn will mean even more to you! From the mouth of a young one this hymn was born!
Please join me for an evening of music around the piano. Wish you all could be here in person so we could hear everyone sing together!
See the playlist below for tonight’s list of Comforting Hymns for June 17, 2021 at 8pm EST. Grab your hymnals so you can sing along!
Early elementary sacred piano solo, 2 pages (One verse and one chorus)
Makes a great solo for the beginner pianist.
I wrote this for my grandson, Nathan, upon his request.
I checked the most recent recording of our congregation singing Dwelling in Beulah Land and discovered they didn’t sing it as fast as I was thinking.
My son led this hymn in a more moderate tempo. But…the arrangement is quite suitable for medium speed.
Some hymns just seem more demanding than others. This is one of those hymns! Once you see the chorus…you may understand why I’m tired after playing just one verse and chorus! 😉
I get very emotionally involved in the text as you’ll notice in the chorus 😉
I’m sure you all may have even better ideas for this particular hymn. Special note: I did add several corrections to this arrangement as of June 8th, 2021
