Now for a fast paced upbeat arrangement of Heavenly Sunlight!  I love this old hymn which reminds Christians that God will never fail them no matter what is happening in their lives.

I chose to arrange verse one and two for this piece.

Verse One

Walking in sunlight all of my journey, Over the mountains thru the deep vale.

Jesus has said, “I’ll never forsake thee,” Promise divine that never can fail.

Chorus:

Heavenly sunlight, heavenly sunlight, Flooding my soul with glory divine.

Hallelujah! I am rejoicing; Singing His praises Jesus is mine.

Verse Two

Shadows around me, shadows above me

Never conceal my Savior and Guide, He is the light; in Him is no darkness. Ever I’m walking close to His side!

Chorus: (same as above)

Heavenly Sunlight

Advanced sacred piano solo arranged by Jenifer Cook Contains two verses and choruses. Begins in G major and ends in A flat major. A very upbeat rendition of this traditional hymn. See video below.

Price: $3.50

Another easy to learn patriotic piece requiring minimal practice!

I wrote this one for my daughter-in-law and myself to learn the weekend before Memorial Day.

It turned out real nice!  Sounds big but not as hard as it may sound.

My favorite parts are the intro, the small run from piano to piano on the third page and the colorful chord progression used for the ending!

Easy Two Piano arrangement at the Intermediate level for both parts. Contains an intro, verse, chorus, partial chorus and ending. All in the key of C Major An easy arrangement requiring little practice for the intermediate church pianist. Price covers two copies.

I apologize for the hold up in publishing Lynndale Hardmen’s song “God Has Provided a Lamb.

Lynndale also wrote “God Can” and “Thou Art Worthy”.

We attend a small church and I have limited resources for securing people for vocal numbers.

I will add a video or audio as soon as possible.  Click here to hear Lynndale Hardeman tell the stories behind these three songs.

God Has Provided a Lamb (NEW)

Sacred solo or duet in key of F Major $8 covers three copies. Words and melody by Lynndale Hardeman (author of "God Can") Arranged by Lynndale and Jenifer Cook

I really enjoyed my recent visit with Lynndale Hardeman via Zoom!

Lynndale is the wife of a retired Pastor.  They spent a number of years in Georgia and then twenty years in Alabama where her husband pastored a church.

Now they reside in Texas near family.

Lynndale is known for her following songs: God Can and Thou Art Worthy.

There’s a third song by Lynndale that we have used in our church MANY times as a vocal solo…entitled….”God Has Provided a Lamb”.

I’m working on a solo/duet arrangement of this song that I hope to publish very soon!  I will let everyone know as soon as I publish it.

See video interview below to meet Lynndale Hardeman.

Did you know that an octave stretch on Chopin’s piano was equivalent to a 7th on our piano?

He didn’t have to stretch as far as us!

Chopin also taught three lessons a week to each student!

Just finished watching this very educational video on “tone color”
