Augsburg Fortress has published a new collection of my arrangements entitled How Sweet the Sound. The late intermediate collection consists of many well known hymn tunes as well as some newer, very interesting ones. Included in the collection are the following titles (and tune names). Click to listen to a representative sample (please excuse the less than wonderfully rich piano):
- There is a Balm (Balm in Gilead)
- Take Up Your Cross (Bourbon)
- We Walk by Faith and Not By Sight (Dunlap’s Creek) Isn’t Dunlap’s Creek the prettiest sounding title for a tune name?
- Thine is the Glory (Judas Maccabaeus)
- Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence (Picardy)
- Day of Arising (Raabe)
- How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds / Amazing Grace (St. Peter / New Britain)
- This is My Fathers World (Terra Patris)
- Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus (Trust in Jesus)
You can see a sample of How Sweet the Sound here. This book is easier than my first collection of sacred arrangements (Rejoice! Engaging Hymn Settings for Piano which was rather advanced).
You may purchase this book from me, Augsburg Fortress, your favorite online retailer, or ask your local music retailer to order it for you.
