Product Description

My Prelude on the hymn tune Bunessan ("Morning Has Broken") is intended for church pianists looking for interesting arrangements of hymns familiar to their congregations. After a brief introduction, the traditional Gaelic melody, played by the right hand, is undergirded by an original harmonic scheme outlined in wide-ranging arpeggios played by the left hand. The next section begins with a fugato that segues into bravura passgework, culminating in a dramatic reappearance of the last two phrases of the tune, enveloped in tumultuous arpeggios. This setting demands considerable pianistic skill. 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.
