A traditional solo piano accompaniment to the classic gospel hymn. Great for either a soloist or choir, and the verses have built-in call and response sections too. The pianist plays stride left hand during the choruses, often in a ragtime style.
C Eb G
A glorious arrangement of this beautiful Easter hymn for orchestra and contemporary rhythm section. Sweeping, dramatic, and celebratory. Usable by choirs, congregations, and soloists.
Bb G Eb
An bouncy acoustic version, featuring acoustic guitars, piano, fiddle, bass, and percussion. Fun for children and adults too! Six verses.
C D A
Solo piano and voice. Schubert's Ellens Dritter Gesang, aka Ave Maria. Popular classical song for Christmas and weddings. Latin or German text settings have been used. Guide vocal in Bb.
All Keys
Instrumental accompaniment version of the Christian song Friends, made popular by Michael W. Smith. Features keyboards, percussion, and strings, just like the original. Same form and tempo as the original, as well, including the key change. Perfect for graduations, special music, and youth group gatherings.
G
Aria from the Messiah by Handel. This arrangement follows Handel's original score and the performance tempos as performed originally by the London Symphony Orchestra. Scored for orchestra and tenor voice. Perfect solo piece for the holidays.
E
A beautiful piano and strings with rhythm arrangement of the popular praise and worship song Breathe by Marie Barnett. This song has been performed and recorded by countless Christian artists including Rebecca St. James and Michael W. Smith, among others.
D
A bouncy, easy-going calypso version of the popular children's song Zacchaeus, easy for young children to sing along with. The song repeats twice with a short dance break between the two verses, for the kids to have fun!
G F D
The seventh movement from Handel's Messiah, a full SATB chorus. This orchestral recording follows Handel's original score, featuring strings, winds, harpsichord, and organ. Popular oratorio for Christmas and Easter.
Gm
This soprano recitative comprises movements 14 and 15 of Handel's Messiah. It tells of the angel of God appearing to the shepherds. Very slow and rubato, with timings carefully matched to the London Philharmonic Orchestra recording.
C
A slow, moving aria for alto, Movement 23 of Handel's Messiah, describing Christ's sorrows. Strings gently weep in the accompaniment. As the A section is over five minutes in length, Handel's instructions to continue with a bridge and then repeat the A section in its entirety are rarely followed. This recording ends, like most, at the end of the A section; the bridge is available separately as Spiritrax 1209, "He Gave His Back to the Smiters".
Eb
A forcefully dramatic tenor recitative, movement 27 of Handel's Messiah. Only a minute in length, it can also be performed by a soprano soloist.
Bbm
A brief tenor recitative, accompanied by harpsichord and strings. Movement 42 of Handel's Messiah, this functions as a short introduction to the tenor aria "Thou Shalt Break Them".
E
A dramatic SATB chorus, movement 46 of Handel's Messiah. Extremely slow and quiet sections describing death alternate with loud, upbeat sections describing resurrection. For this recording, organ quietly doubles the vocal parts in the a capella sections.
Am
An original orchestral backing track to this Shaker hymn of humility, made famous in Copland's Appalachian Spring. A uniquely American setting, perfect for Earth Day or Thanksgiving. Good arrangement for a congregation, choir, or small group of soloists. Often used with children's choirs because the text is simple and approachable. Three and a half verses, with the last half verse slower.
