Crown Him (published)

March 3rd, 2023

I also have an early advanced arrangement of “Crown Him.”

Today’s publication of “Crown Him” is at least a little different from the other one…enough to warrant publishing this second advanced arrangement 😉

I will publish a recording of this arrangement tomorrow (March 4, 2023)

Crown Him (Advanced)
Advanced sacred piano solo, three pages. Key of C Major to D Major.
Price: $4.75

 

One Day: Update Alert!

March 2nd, 2023

Please play the following video to hear the update on the advanced piano solo for “One Day”.

Piano Arrangement: Then Sings My Soul

February 22nd, 2023

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.

Then Sings My Soul
Early intermediate sacred piano solo arranged by Jenifer Cook. 3 pgs. Key of B flat major to C major. Two verses and choruses. This arrangement was written for one of my piano students to play for competition. Some of the phrases will sound similar to my advanced version of Then Sings My Soul. Listen to the video below.
Price: $3.75

The Life of Fanny Crosby

February 17th, 2023

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.

Choosing an Easter Piano Arrangement

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!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All the Way My Savior Leads Me

January 28th, 2023

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.

All the Way My Savior Leads Me
Early advanced sacred piano solo, 3 pgs. One of Jenifer's homespun arrangements she penned to paper when viewers asked for a printed arrangement of one of her spontaneous pieces on facebook live.
Price: $3.75

Thanks to those who encouraged me to create sheet music for  All the Way My Savior Leads Me.
