The Lord has placed a burden on my heart to share my scripture songs with others. Personally, I have found scripture songs help me memorize God's Holy Word and keep my thoughts focused on Christ. I pray these scripture songs will bless your soul as they have mine.

This piano solo is dedicated to Kenneth, my online piano student, who encourages me to keep creating new hymn arrangements. I'm so thankful for him! This hymn arrangement of "Just a Closer Walk with Thee" is quite expressive, and it is 7 pages (approx. 3:48 minutes in length). The various sections are woven together with a gentle, flowing melodic pattern. This piece was written for early advanced pianists, and it is perfect for church performances throughout the year.

It is a full 6 pages in length (approx. 3:24 duration), and it is perfect for recitals and church performances around patriotic holidays. Throughout the piece, the tunes of My Anchor Holds and Anchors Aweigh are often both audible at the same time. Later, the refrain from the hymn, Will Your Anchor Hold?, is triumphantly proclaimed during the climax.

Introduction: One of my hobbies is creating piano pieces that beautifully combine both familiar hymns with classical masterpieces. When I first started creating classical hymn arrangements, I used this basic framework (begin with an excerpt of the classical piece, weave in the hymn tune, and finish with another excerpt of the classical piece) as a guide. Looking back, I now realize my creativity and originality were hindered by not arranging the classical piece. Last year, my music composition instructor gave me a whole new way of looking at my classical hymn arrangements and how to compose them. She suggested I arrange the classical piece itself (not just weaving in the hymn tune), so the entire arrangement would be more unique and original. Ever since I began using this new way of composing classical hymn arrangements, I find them much more enjoyable to play because they have a familiar, yet fresh sound. Quick Tips for Composing Classical Hymn Arrangements:
Arranging familiar tunes is a great way for pianists to experiment with the musical elements that create different styles and moods. Do you create classical hymn arrangements? Please leave a comment with your own tips or questions! "My Faith Looks Up to Thee in the Style of Mozart" arranges both Piano Sonata No.16 in C Major, K.545 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and hymn My Faith Looks Up to Thee by Lowell Mason into a beautiful piece for late intermediate pianists.
