The Church Pianist: Free Piano Arrangement (Higher Ground)
Here’s a prelude arrangement of Higher Ground.
Editor notes for Higher Ground:
1. Emphasize melody throughout
2. De-emphasize anything that’s not melody
to avoid a sluggish tempo or mechanical tone.
3. In 3/4 time….heaviest accent is on the first
beat of each measure. (for a more shapely tone)
4. Measure #10: Careful to keep inner voice move-
ment notes on beat one (eighth notes only)
of right hand softer than melody.
I’ll discuss inner voice movement in a future article.
Try some of these left hand accompaniment ideas out on a simliar hymn…such as…..Jesus Saves.
