Interview with Lynndale Hardeman (Author of God Can)

Friday, April 26th, 2024

I really enjoyed my recent visit with Lynndale Hardeman via Zoom!

Lynndale is the wife of a retired Pastor.  They spent a number of years in Georgia and then twenty years in Alabama where her husband pastored a church.

Now they reside in Texas near family.

Lynndale is known for her following songs: God Can and Thou Art Worthy.

There’s a third song by Lynndale that we have used in our church MANY times as a vocal solo…entitled….”God Has Provided a Lamb”.

I’m working on a solo/duet arrangement of this song that I hope to publish very soon!  I will let everyone know as soon as I publish it.

See video interview below to meet Lynndale Hardeman.

Tone Color and Arm Involvement

Tuesday, April 16th, 2024

Did you know that an octave stretch on Chopin’s piano was equivalent to a 7th on our piano?

He didn’t have to stretch as far as us!

Chopin also taught three lessons a week to each student!

Just finished watching this very educational video on “tone color”

Sacred Vocal Arrangements by Reece Yandle

Tuesday, February 27th, 2024

Some of you may know my Dad, Reece Yandle. He passed away in June of 2022 at the age of 85.

I would like to host a tribute to Dad and his  music in the near future.

It has been difficult to do so just yet but I will begin preparing

I miss him SO much but thankful for the music legacy he left behind about his Lord.

I’m honored to share his sacred vocal music here on my website. ( I do have some of Dad’s songs on youtube.)

I’ve entered five of his songs in my music store for the time being….and will publish more as time allows.

One of the sacred vocal solo songs entitled “Cleft of the Rock” has been a comfort to me s I sift through Dad’s music for the first time since his homegoing.

“In the cleft of the Rock is my refuge, He doth cover me there with His hand.

Though the storms of this life may beset me.

On the Rock of His promise I stand.” 

 

New Piano Hymn Arrangement: “Under His Wings”

Friday, February 16th, 2024

“Under His Wings” ….a hymn of great comfort!  The lyrics were written by William O. Cushing.

William was a pastor in New York during the mid 1800’s.  His wife died after twenty four years of marriage.

Shortly after his wife’s death…he developed “creeping paralysis” which prevented him from using his voice to preach.

William pleaded with the Lord to give him some other way to minister.

God did just that.  William wrote over 300 hymns.  “Under His Wings” was a result of William going through hard times.

William may have based this hymn from the following Bible verse.

Psalm 17:8   “Hide me under the shadow of your wings.”

Under His Wings
Sacred piano solo (3 pages) Consists of one verse and two choruses in the key of C Major
Price: $3.75
