The musical motive in the introduction and the first statement of the hymn tune with its diverse harmonies depict the search for an adequate expression of the greatness of God. The style of the middle section resembles the romantic style of Rachmaninoff with its harmonic richness and sweeping arpeggios. The arrangement climaxes with powerful, rhapsodic chords supporting the refrain, "Then sings my soul . . . how great Thou art!"

How Great Thou Art

Piano Solo

"I Surrender All" features the depth of emotion that Christian believers often experience as they struggle to release control of their own will to God's sovereign will. It is written in a Brahmsian style with its contemplative melody, rhythmic intricacy, use of chromaticism, and unexpected modulations for expressive effects often over a bass ostinato.

This original anthem on the theme of Pentecost, scored for SATB choir and piano, is an excellent addition to any church music library. It begins quietly from the perspective of the disciples as they wait for the promised gift of the Holy Spirit. The chorus reflects the urgency of the disciples' prayers as they call upon the Spirit to come. The middle section is filled with excitement as the mighty wind and tongues of fire depict the Spirit descending into their presence. The final chorus ends in joyous affirmation with their crying out to be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit.

Come, Holy Spirit

SATB Octavo

"The Light of the World is Jesus" is a delightful arrangement depicting the joy of those who walk in the light of Christ. The final verse of the hymn, illustrated with grand chords and vivid harmonies, invites all to follow the light of Christ on their journey towards Heaven.

The Light of the World is Jesus

After being out of print for almost 25 years, I am happy to be able to offer again this collection of hymn arrangements for solo piano. The collection, first published by Broadman Press in 1988, with reprint permissions from both Broadman Press and Hope Publishing Company, is now available in downloadable "e-print" media. 

The arrangements included are: "Saved, Saved!" "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God," "Blessings Medley," "God Himself Is with Us," "Great Is Thy Faithfulness," "O Jesus, I Have Promised," and "Sweet Hour of Prayer."

Blessings Unnumbered

A two-piano arrangement of Argentina's national anthem - "Himno Nacional Argentino" - music written in the early19th century by Blas Parera and lyrics by Vicente Lopez y Planes.

Piano Duet-2 Pianos, 4 Hands

With its dissonant harmonies over a melodic statement of the refrain "It is well," the arrangement's opening phrases portray the grief and anguish that the author Horatio Spafford suffered following the tragic loss of his four daughters on a transatlantic voyage. The rising and falling arpeggios in the left hand are descriptive of the text "when sorrows like sea billows roll." The melody of the first stanza enters peacefully before erupting into a minor key that expresses the torment Satan brings in times of trial and reflects Christ's suffering on the cross. The refrain returns peacefully before a triumphal expression of "the trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend."

It is Well With My Soul

"Jesus Calls Us" paints the flowing waves of the Sea of Galilee as the Christian contemplates the chaos, toils, and sorrows of life. The music becomes soft and pensive as the call of Jesus to follow Him brings the heart to obedience. The final statement of the hymn tune reflects an attitude of assurance and commitment to serve and love Christ "best of all."

Jesus Calls Us

"Fantasy on NUN DANKET" ("Now Thank We All Our God") is an exciting arrangement that draws upon the style of the late Romantic period of music with its sweeping arpeggios and lush harmonies. The hymn tune appears in various forms and includes chords that veer away from the hymn's familiar harmonies. At one point, the music shifts to a more pensive treatment of the text, "guide us when perplexed, and free us from all ills," before returning to a spirit of praise and thanksgiving.

Fantasy on NUN DANKET

"Jesus Paid It All" is an arrangement that embodies the significance of the hymn text. The music begins with a gentle mood that reflects the "child of weakness," lacking Christ's power. The melody winds in and out of the flowing phrases until it climaxes with powerful chords and intense harmonies depicting the strength and confidence of the child of God standing before the throne, cleansed by the blood of Jesus who paid it all for our salvation.

Jesus Paid It All

The arrangement of "Jesus Loves Even Me" was dedicated to our three children when they were young. The accompaniment imitates the sound of a music box with motives of "Jesus Loves Me" scattered throughout. The hymn tune is heard in a couple of variations before returning to the simple music box pattern as it slowly winds down.

Jesus Loves Even Me

"Grace Greater Than Our Sin" is written in a rhapsodic style with an expressive and flowing accompaniment. Motives from the hymn "Amazing Grace" are woven throughout the arrangement. The final refrain reflects the joy of the believer bestowed with the matchless grace of God.

Grace Greater Than Our Sin

The introduction of the arrangement "Day by Day" contains harmonic surprises before the reflective entrance of the hymn tune. The melody in the middle section continues over a flowing chromatic wave expressing the dread of tribulation, toil, and pain. The arrangement ends triumphantly as faith is placed in the strength of God's promises on the journey to "reach the promised land."

Day by Day

The introduction of the arrangement "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name" is written in a majestic style that reflects the strength of the hymn text leading to a statement of the hymn tune in a new key. The middle section is more melodic and is followed by the hymn tune in the style of a fugue. The final grandiose ending is an invitation to join the "sacred throng" as we "crown him Lord of all!"

All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name

"My Faith Has Found a Resting Place" is written in the romantic style of a waltz that resembles some of Schumann's short pieces known as "piano miniatures." There is a small variation of the hymn tune including a fantasy-type cadenza in the middle section before returning to the theme. The serene mood portrays a soul at rest who places faith and trust in the saving work of Christ."
