I arranged All Things Bright and Beautiful intermediate piano solo in a modern style with a lot of seventh chords and hints of dissonance to add depth instead of being simplistic. It progresses from a rhythmically simple first verse into a more developed second verse then builds with a modulation and sixteenth notes for the third verse before returning to a serene setting similar to the introduction.

Practice Tips for All Things Bright and Beautiful intermediate piano solo Sheet Music
Remember that 6/8 has 2 beats (6 pulses). This will help the music from sounding plodding and flow smoother. This arrangement calls for a lot of expression and fluctuation in tempo and dynamics. Add a lot of feeling as you play.
The tempo change at m46 needs to be prepared in mm 44-45. While there is a crescendo, I like to think of it more as adding depth and broadness than volume alone in preparation for the left hand jumping to sixteenth notes. While I like the sixteenth notes to sound rushing, dont rush them. Play them at a tempo that is comfortable under your fingers.
