Thank the Lord, did a new recording with Erin. Piano Duet Hymn 349 – The Saviour Is Waiting by Ralph Carmichael
This hymn has only two verses, calm and lyrical, reminding everyone that our Lord Jesus is waiting for us all to receive Him into our hearts. Erin has also helped to recorded the same hymn for “Easy” and “Really Easy” piano. May all glory and praise be unto our heavenly Father.
Thank the Lord, did a new recording with Alex. Hymn 8 – Sing Praises to God. “Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.” (Eph 5:19)
Though one of the shortest hymn in our hymn book, this hymn is grand, powerful and mejestic, calling everyone, young and old to sing praises from our heart to our Lord. May all glory and praise be unto our heavenly Father.
Thank the Lord, did a new recording with Andrew yesterday. Hymn 288 – Work for the Night Is Coming by Lowell Mason. “I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work” (John 9:4). Let us all rise up and do the work of the Lord while there is still time.
This hymn is full of vitality, calling everyone, young and old to arise and do the mighty work of God. May all glory and praise be unto our heavenly Father.
Praise the Lord! Last time, Alex played the duet version of “Count Your Blessings” with me. This time she played the “Easy” and “Really Easy” versions of the same hymn. All the three versions have a jolly happy character, recalling all the belssings we received from the Lord. Whether ups or downs in life, our Lord Jesus is always there to help and guide. We therefore really have to constantly reflect and give thanks to our heavenly Father for all these wonderful blessings.
Hallelujah, Praise the Lord! Since the arrangement of Really Easy Piano came out 6 years ago, I have been busy completing the Piano Duet Series of the Hymns of Praise. Thank the Lord that it was now finished that I have a moment of free time.
It was good to go back to update all the hymns in the Really Easy Piano Series. The New Second Edition has better left hand accompaniment and fingering throughout for both hands. They should sound better than the first edition.
May the Lord continue to guide the work of music in our church that this will help to motivate more new budding pianists to learn and play our church hymns to serve the heavenly Father.
Praise the Lord! Erin helped to record two verions of hymn 349 – The Saviour Is Waiting by Ralph Carmichael. Both verions of the right hand are exactly the same, only left hand has a few more notes and leaps for the Easy compare to the Really Easy version. Not difficult at all for those members who have just started and learnt piano even only for a short time. Hopefully this will encourage more youngster to learn our hymns and use their fingers to praise our heavenly Father. May all glory and praises unto His name.
Praise the Lord! Yien helped to record playing of hymn 82 – Have Oil in Your Vessels by Ira D. Sanke. Left hand is quite easy with only four chords. Not too difficult for those members who have just started and learnt piano for a short time. Hopefully this will encourage more youngster to learn our hymns and use their fingers to praise our heavenly Father. May all glory and praises unto His name.
Praise the Lord! Recorded Lois playing hymn 369 – At Calvary by Daniel B. Towner. For the Easy Piano Series, these arrangements have more notes to mastered. This hymn in particular, lots of dotted rhythm for the right hand melody to contrast left hand staccato accompaniment. A good practice for hands coordination. Suitable for learners who can already or about to start grade 3 pieces. Hopefully this will encourage more youngster to learn our hymns and use their fingers to praise our heavenly Father. May all glory and praises unto His name.
Praise the Lord! Recorded Mercy playing of hymn 13 – No, Not One by George C. Hugg. For the Easy Piano Series, these arrangements have more notes to mastered. Just single line right hand melody with some leaps and chords for the left hand. Suitable for learners who can already or about to start grade 3 pieces. Hopefully this will encourage more youngster to learn our hymns and use their fingers to praise our heavenly Father. May all glory and praises unto His name.
Praise the Lord! One of my young student Harper recorded her playing of hymn 59 – Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer by J.J. Rousseau. Actually, it is not too difficult for those members who have just started and learnt piano for a short time. Hopefully this will encourage more youngster to learn our hymns and use their fingers to praise our heavenly Father. May all glory and praises unto His name.
