It Is Well With My Soul

Dave Mincy — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 20:16:25 +0000

I have always loved this hymn–and the story behind it (you can read about it here). For this arrangement, I tried to bring out the words of each stanza, but I also had to balance the musicality of the piece. So, it is important to realize when listening to or playing this piece that I was thinking of the verses in this order: 1, 3, 2, 4. I hope you will find it to be a blessing, and welcome your feedback!

Angels from the Realms of Glory (piano solo)

This is a fairly easy Christmas arrangement of this lesser-used (seems to me, anyway) Christmas hymn.

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

I played this last year for Christmas and just finally got it written out… :-/ Follow your ear on this piece…it’s really a lot simpler than written music makes it look…had to be creative with my time signatures, even after some excellent input from some smart friends (thank you James and Greg!). Hope it will be usable for you. Merry (early) Christmas!

Like A River Glorious (piano solo)

Dave Mincy — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 23:43:50 +0000

This is the tenth track on my CD, A Place of Quiet Rest II, and one I have used as an offertory numerous times. I have also had several younger high school players in our church play this arrangement without any difficulty. The piece is flowing and can be kept quiet throughout, although I tend to play page three (especially the area with the left hand octave melody) louder in a live setting as compared to the CD.

No Not One (piano solo)

Dave Mincy — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 23:00:55 +0000

This is really a pretty simple arrangement with essentially the same movement in both hands over and over. The main challenge is gaining a comfort level with being all over the keyboard in different octaves.

A Child Of The King (piano solo)

Dave Mincy — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 22:32:38 +0000

This is probably my favorite song from my first CD. My goal was to make the arrangement reflect the child-like faith we should have in our Father’s unfailing care for us.

Tell It To Jesus (piano solo)

What a wonderful hymn with a timeless reminder that our first course of action in every situation of life should be to “tell it to Jesus”!

Speak, O Lord (piano solo)

This is another wonderful song by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend. I would consider this to be an advanced-intermediate piano solo, although it is only the last verse that contains any real degree of difficulty.

Grace Greater Than Our Sin (piano solo)

Dave Mincy — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 00:54:47 +0000

This hymn is my favorite old hymn…I find such comfort in the words! Mindful of the emotion the song conveys, I chose to employ some of the sounds and techniques of the classical romantic era (think Chopin and rubato). Like most of my stuff, I think an advanced intermediate player would find this quite accessible.

In Christ Alone (piano solo)

Dave Mincy — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 00:50:58 +0000

If I could only have my children learn one hymn, it might well be this one. God gave Keith Getty and Stuart Townend the amazing clarity to communicate the entire gospel in just four verses! What a blessed gift this song has been to the church! In creating this arrangement, I did my best to reflect the words. You will notice this especially in verses three and four. I trust you may find this arrangement useful for your ministry. God bless!
