Piano Arrangement: Then Sings My Soul

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2023

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.

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.

Glissando Tip (Then Sings My Soul)

Glissando-pic

Many of you have asked about how to finger the runs and glissando in Then Sings My Soul piano arrangement.

Here’s a demo of the glissando on the last page of Then Sings My Soul.

Tip: I began the glissando with my 2nd finger…then immediately turned 2nd & 3rd finger under… and glazed across the keys…no need to batter your fingers with too much pressure 😉

I will give fingering tips soon for the runs in Then Sings My Soul.

Video Tip: If you pause and drag the timeline on video …you can watch in slow motion for a better look at the glissando.

 

“Then Sings My Soul” formerly known as “How Great Thou Art” Advanced Piano Solo

Wednesday, January 25th, 2017

Just re-published “Then Sings My Soul” formerly known as “How Great Thou Art”.

I was asked by the music company that  owns the lyrics to the words of “How Great Thou Art” to rename this arrangement or otherwise pay royalties for the use of the phrase “How Great Thou Art”.

I personally don’t feel they can universally own the phrase “How Great Thou Art” but sincerely want to stay above board on this issue.  (It’s been and is still a very controversial issue with others besides myself).

The reason for my delay was trying to locate the original file to rename the arrangement.  I just found the file this morning while rummaging through old files that I had searched before numerous times.  (I was thinking the file had been lost a couple years ago when I accidentally deleted alot of my music files)

I’ve had MANY requests for this arrangement since taking it offline for awhile during the re-naming process.

Thanks for your interest!  I truly enjoy writing for you all!
