Reece Yandle, my Dad, wrote “This is America” a patriotic vocal solo, about twenty-five years ago and I just re-discovered it on one of my recent visits to my parent’s house.
I told Dad he HAD to get this one published!
I will try to provide at least a sample video of “This is America” asap.
This beautiful patriotic anthem speaks of our loyalty to America and reminds us that God gave us America and how we need to keep her free!
Dad also has another Patriotic vocal solo available entitled “In God We Trust.” The words of this tasteful melody reminds us to trust in God no matter what comes our way. View sample page and audio:In God We Trust
I’m feverishly trying to finish my early intermediate sacred piano solo book for Lorenz. It’s due June 1st. I’m working on the ninth one now. The book will contain a total of ten piano solos.
Here are some of the song titles: What a Friend We Have in Jesus, His Eye is on the Sparrow, Jesus What a Friend for Sinners, All the Way My Savior Leads Me and Crown Him with Many Crowns.
I’m also currently working on my next website video tutorial to present a certain fill-in that I LOVE to use!
In my spare time….I need to unveil a nice patriotic vocal solo by my Dad….hope to publish asap!
Need your help! Just need names of at least two hymns that use a 12/8 time signature. Thanks!
Do any of your special music people ask you to help them choose a special? Over time…our special music people have learned that I ENJOY helping them choose a song. Watch the video below to learn a suggested tip on how I help them choose their special. (There are other factors too but dealing with the main one first.) 🙂
Having so many hymns in my memory bank has its advantages as well as its disadvantages…
Ever realized the similarities in the hymns “Face to Face” and “He the Pearly Gates Will Open”? Some of you may have never heard of the last hymn mentioned. Maybe it’s a good thing 😉
Years ago, I accompanied our song leader singing a solo of “Face to Face”. I started off playing the correct melody on the verse but somehow transitioned into the chorus of “He the Pearly Gates Will Open”. Our song leader went right along with the flow!
I didn’t realize what I had done until he brought it to my attention after the service.
Notice the similarities between these two hymns..especially both choruses.
