Product Description

Built on a steady eight note pulse, this modern setting of the classic Shaker hymn is infectious and will quickly become one of those ear-worms you hum all day long. This arrangment definitely takes you on a journey beginning with stating the melody in a straight forward way, then dancing around keys and ocatves as it develops and captivates the listener. You'll want to make sure you hear the "dream-like" sequence in the middle of the chart. It sets up the last section of the arrangement and acts as a spring board for what's to come as the chart finishes. This arrangment could easily be used as a challenge for a young piano student wanting to try something a little diffeent than tradiational literature. Succiently put, it's a fun chart you'll enjoy playing!

Composed and arranged by Jay Rouse, a leading writer and arranger of Solo Piano music. He is an established composer with many arrangements in publication with a variety of publishers.
