Please play the following video to hear the update on the advanced piano solo for “One Day”.
One of my piano students requested this arrangement of Then Sings My Soul for a piano competition piece.
If you’ve been following my posts over the years, Allissa will sound familiar to you. Allissa has just recently approached a true intermediate level.
She is the one who requested an arrangement of this well-loved hymn.
I tried to add some phrases that sound similar to my advanced version of this hymn. Below….is the video of the early intermediate arrangement for Then Sings My Soul.
I just ran across this very well-done movie of Fanny Crosby’s life.
Highlights:
Fanny dictated over 40 hymns in one sitting!
Fanny added words to her favorite friend’s tune which created “Blessed Assurance.”
The public was use to getting hymn publications from various authors, so….Fanny’s printing company gave her over 250 pen names to get around this problem 😉
Fanny’s love for others were evident even on her deathbed. She wrote a note of encouragement to a dear grieving friend who had just lost her daughter.
Event Link: Hymns of Comfort & Guidance
I’m considering arranging “One Day” for an Easter offertory.
How many of you church pianists know this hymn and is it familiar to your church?
Thanks for your input!
Several of my viewers are asking for sheet music to a short video I did on youtube this past week. The four hymns were spontaneous. So, in time I will try to create at least one more from that particular video. It will probably be “Near to the Heart of God”.
“All the Way My Savior Leads Me” was the first hymn I played in the short video. I would guess this is an early advanced level. My spontaneous pieces do not always have much structure but you’re welcome to wade through my homespun version of this hymn.
This piece wouldn’t take much prep time for the early advanced to advanced church pianist.
Thanks to those who encouraged me to create sheet music for All the Way My Savior Leads Me.
After watching the news this morning and hearing others with burdens in life…I felt led to create a mini video of comforting hymns for today.
I’ll be playing at least a half hour’s worth or more this Friday on Facebook Live at 8pm EST
The link to this event is on the first video clip below.

This is our first Christmas without my Dad. He’s with Jesus, the Savior of the world. WHAT a thot!
One of my fondest memories as a young girl was singing around the piano with family & friends at this time of year.
As the years passed, fewer times like this ever happened. I cherish the few times we did get together around the piano in later years.
Here’s one of those recent times from about a year ago…one of the last times I played for my Dad here on this earth.
I cann0t play this song now without hearing my Dad pour his heart and soul into every word about his dear Savior!
Dad always sang… as though he were speaking.
I’m so thankful to my parents for exposing me to godly music during my upbringing.
