At least a month ago, one of my readers requested an arrangement of The Holy City.   At first I didn’t want to tackle this beautiful piece.  I’ve always played the piano accompaniment score for my Dad to sing.  Staying true to the original form was on my mind as I began creating the arrangement for this classic hymn.

I’m doing something a little unusual this time.  Since this arrangement is in the public domain…I’m simply adapting the piece from a vocal arrangement to a piano solo.

This means that it’s legally fine for me to borrow the intro and interludes and still add my own arrangement.

I am nearing the end of the entire piece!  (handwritten format)

This coming week….I  will input this piece into my notation software.
