Advanced Sacred Piano Solo: Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

Wednesday, February 24th, 2021

“Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus”…an excellent reminder to focus on Jesus as we travel through this earthly life.

As I grow older…the words to these old hymns become even more meaningful.

Here’s a homespun hymn arrangement of “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus.”   I just played from my heart and tried to replicate via paper 😉

I especially love the last verse:

“His Word shall not fail you_HE PROMISED 🙂

Believe Him and all will be well.

Then go to a world that is dying, His perfect salvation to tell!

This arrangement is VERY advanced due to at least a half dozen runs…measure #42 contains a run I’ve never used or seen before…but it just seemed to fit.

I will admit it’s the hardest run for me to play in this arrangement.  But…with practice it can happen 🙂

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
Advanced sacred piano solo, 4 pgs. A majestic entrance to this arrangement opens up to the chorus and then goes into a verse with a final chorus. At least a half dozen runs are included in this exciting arrangement!

Advanced Sacred Piano Solo: Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2021

 

I just finished the final copy of “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus”.

This is a very advanced piano hymn arrangement with at least a half dozen runs sprinkled throughout the piece.

To be honest, I didn’t think this arrangement was worthy of publication.  Why? Sometimes I feel like my homespun arrangements aren’t that interesting.   But this is the style I like to play….just straight from my heart.

My piano friend, Meryt Wilson encouraged me to publish this piece.

Maybe there are other church pianists that could make use of this homespun arrangement.

I’ll be creating the video today and hope to publish it by no later than the end of this week.
