Mary McDonald: My Savior First of All (Piano Offertory)

Saturday, August 31st, 2019

My favorite arrangement of “My Savior First of All” is by Mary McDonald from her book entitled “This is My Story”.

I’ll be playing this simple; yet elegant version tomorrow for offertory.

The introduction sets the mood for this beautiful hymn tune by John Sweney.

I love to hear my Dad sing this song too!  I’ll be sharing clips of Dad singing this song and others asap.

Here’s a sample page from Mary McDonald’s version of “I Shall Know Him”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of My Favorite Sacred Piano Books: Lost in Wonder, Love, and Praise by Mary McDonald

Friday, August 31st, 2018

 

I enjoy playing through this nice sacred piano book “Lost in Wonder, Love, and Praise” by Mary McDonald and published by Lorenz.

My most favorite one in the book is Come Ye Sinners Poor and Needy. It’s just…..beautiful!  I always have a soft spot for minor key songs.

Listen to several excerpts from the book below.
