For those who purchased my advanced piano arrangement for “One Day”.

Here are several tips that may help as you practice this piece for Easter.

Here’s a free arrangement of Christ Arose for the early intermediate church pianist.

Most hymnals offer this  Easter hymn in the key of C Major.  I’ve provided this arrangement in a lower key…B flat major.

This early intermediate piano arrangement was written for one of my students who is the church pianist for her church.

Just click the following link to print this arrangement:

CHRIST AROSE (early intermediate congregational arrangement)

About a month until Easter to learn this very advanced piano solo.

I like how this hymn summarizes Jesus’ life.

This would make a great Christmas or Easter arrangement!

We use this hymn all year round in our congregational singing or for a choir special.

One Day!

Surprise!  “One Day” is public domain!  Here’s the note I received last week giving me the green light to publish this beautiful Easter hymn.

From CCLI Song Select (customer service).

I will publish “One Day” advanced piano solo tomorrow March 10th 2023

I just finished inputting the surprise Easter piano solo arrangement into my note software!

Now for the final touches before publication. It’s four pages in length (Two verses and two choruses)

Here’s a peek at one of the measures…

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)

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.

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.

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.
