Product Description

My Prelude on the tune Dix ("For the Beauty of the Earth") is intended for church pianists looking for interesting arrangements of hymns familiar to their congregations.  This exuberant setting in a conservatively modern style draws its energy from an almost constant stream of seventh-chord sonorities in the left hand accompaniment.  The melody, sometimes unadorned and sometimes ornamented, contributes to the forward motion with the frequent appearance of a dotted eighth/sixteenth rhythmic pattern.  Bitonal harmony is implied near the end of the piece.  I have provided a full-length recording to aid the prospective buyer in the decision-making process.  I encourage you to search the Sheet Music Plus or the Sheet Music Direct website for other hymn arrangements of mine, some for organ and others for piano.
