A SHE EEATURTER whe AN Gospel Classics Arranged by Mark Hayes 12 Artistic Arrangements for Worship Services, Concerts and Recitals From my first memories as a child to my present career as a composer and arranger, hymns and gospel songs have been an important piece in the musical fabric of my life. I started playing piano for congregational worship when I was 13 years old. During my high school years, I sang in the church choir. While at college, I learned to arran; various choral groups. Shortly after graduation, my first collection of solo piano arrange ments for church pianists was published, fulfilling a dream of mine. hymn During devotional times, fivorite old hymns are often what I play at the piano. As an arranger, I look for ways to breathe new life into old gospel songs. As a worship leader, I receive immense satisfaction when I see worshipers respond to a new setting of an old hymn and experience its timeless truth in a fresh way. Despite the changes in worship that are occurring in churches all over the world, hymns and gospel songs—the music of our faith traditions important to us. These old melodies and messages connect with us on a deeply emotional and spiritual level. They feed and nourish our souls. are alive and well and still very ‘To that end, I am pleased to present this collection of clasic hymns and gospel songs—my first piano collection with Alfed Publishing. It’s always a challenge for me to find the “heart” of a song and express that in my own unique way. You'll find these arrangements, to be joyous, reflective, passionate and playful. May they delight your ears, stir your spirit, and feed your soul Daye ce co mac, Performance Notes . ‘He Hiwern My Sout HEAVENLY SUNLIGHT... 16 How Great THOU ART... - 56 T Witt Arist AND Go To Jesus we 22 Tt Fty AWAY... wee 31 IN THE GARDEN ....... = 26 Otp RuGGED Cross, THE 251 ON JoRDAN’s STORMY BANKS 47 Sweer By AND BY ....... oa ‘Ture Is 4 BALM IN GILEAD ..... = 36 ‘Wuen I Can Reap My TITLE CLEAR . -12 Wun THE ROLL Is CaLteD Up YonpeER . 41 About the Chord Symbols. a. 63) Hymn Texts cee 64 ACD reconiing of the selections contained in this book, performed en Rial ie te e ee Copyright © MMIIL by Alfed Publishing Co, Inc All rights reserved.

In this musical representation, I've tried to created a state of peace and tranquility through the Iushness of the chords and the unhurried, undulating thythm of the eighth-note patterns. At measure 29, the time signature switches to which provides an almost lilting quality. The coda at measure 105 returns to a dreamlike, almost celestial state, with a simple ascending melody taking us to higher realms He Hideth My Soul .....----- 2-8 ‘The initial mood of this arrangement is one of delicacy and simplicity. Find a tempo that allows you to play the 16th-note passages easily and unhurried. Take time to read the text (p. 64) of this hymn, especially noting the joyous lift in the last verse so you may communicate that to your listener. The 32d notes in measure 56 fit easily under the hand, In order to achieve greater clarity, try raising your fingers a bit more when playing this passage, even though it’ fast. ‘When I Can Read My Title Clear . . . 12 ‘This hymn tune lends itself to a contemporary, rhythmic treatment that expresses the joy and wgerness with which we look forward to heaven. The left-hand pattern almost sounds like a drum cadence. Rhythmic stability is crucial here. Pay careful attention to the staccato artic- ulations and use the damper pedal sparingly. Heavenly Sunlight .......+-++++ 16 If ever there were a gospel song that is full of joy and happiness, this is it, As I set out to arrange this piece, I decided to give it a “happy” shuffle feel in $time, as opposed to its original § time signature. Keep it light and jazzy. Take care to emphasize the melody, which is usually in the top voice of the right hand, except at measures 38-51, In this left-hand melody section, tenutos indicate the melody. As with any rhythmic and syncopated piece, it’s crucial to keep a steady tempo. IWill Arise and Go to Jesus ........ 22 ‘This haunting melody lends itself particularly well to.a more romantic feel. The motive at the begin- ning is almost Chopinesque. Notice the tempo changes throughout. Play the section at measure 30 deliberately and passionately In the Garden . - ‘The introduction of this old gospel song is medi- tative, and has the intentional sound of Erik Satie’s Gymnopédies. V've written this arrangement in J instead of § to make it easier to read, but don’t be in too much of a hurry. Play it with a languid feel where appropriate. Feel free to move ahead in more of a waltz tempo at measures 60 and 83, then return to the original tempo at measure 105. You're walking in the garden, with all the time in the world, Vil Fly Away ....- et I'm not sure how I got the idea to set this great old gospel song in a quasi-ragtime* style, but T think it fits perfectly! The first statement is reflec tive and needs time for the “color” chords to resonate, Once you reach measure 17, cut loose and have fin! Keep a steady tempo. Because of the inner voices, take extra care to project the melody throughout. The stride pattern in the left hand is a prominent characteristic of ragtime and can be challenging. I would suggest some “eft hand only” practice until you can be consistently accurate with all those leaps.

Gilead, a historic place in biblical times, is also a metaphor for the afterlife—a place where we will be made whole. My design for this song was to create a mood of peace and tranquility, a musical place that would feel soothing and nurturing. Make the descending-sixth passages in measures 1-6 and 35-41 as flowing and connected as possible. Enjoy the warmth of the key of D-flat at measure 42. ‘When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder ..... 41 If L were playing this arrangement with a live rhythm section, | would tell the players to play in a Latin, almost samba style. Ever since I visited Brazil, I've looked for ways to use those wonderfull Brazilian rhythms and jazz harmonies in my music. This arrangement quotes an extra hymn, hen We All Get to Heaven, tucked away in the middle of the piece. Play with exuberance and enjoy the contemporary edge! On Jordan’s Stormy Banks . AT T have arranged this hymn tune in a syncopated pop style to highlight the excitement and anticipation of the Promised Land inherent in the text. The most important thing to do when playing this piece is to keep a steady tempo. Whenever music is syncopated, it requires a consistent, steady beat so the syncopa- tions can be played without rushing, Enjoy the reharmonizations of the melody. The Old Rugged Cross 51 Although this hymn is a sentimental favorite of many, the subject of the cross is far fiom pleasant. As I read through this hymn text, I opted to set the first two verses in a minor key to underscore the agony of the cross. This arrangement starts in the style of the great romantics, ike Rachmaninoff, and needs to be played with great passion as well as nuance throughout. I wrote in an orchestral fashion, using the fall range of | the piano. When the key center shifis to C major at measure 82, it comes as a welcome relief, partly because of the heaviness of the minor sound that precedes it. Linger at that transition before moving into the major key. Take time to read the fourth stanza of the hymn text before you play this final verse. It speaks of the joy that awaits us in heaven. Let the dissonance sink in at measures 121-122 before the resolution to the final C-major chord. How Great Thou Art ..........++++.56 This piece is definitely the “tour de force” of the collection; consequently, it is the most technically demanding piece to play. I've attempted to capture some of the grandness of God in this arrangement and crafted it in an intentionally orchestral style, For those of you who can't play repeated octaves comfortably, feel free to leave out some notes. For instance, in measures 1-3, you could play the right hand as single notes instead of octaves. The passage in measures 6-7 is simply a repetition of broken D- flat and E-flat chords. To practice, try playing each group of 32d notes as a block chord, in order to master each inversion, Its very important to take time with the various moods within this piece. Read the hymn text and pay carefull attention to how it is painted through the music. You may play this piece as slowly as needed in order to perform it artistically, capturing the grandeur of this beloved hymn. About the Chord Symbols Chord symbols have been added to each arrange- ment to help people who play by chord as well as by notes, to edueate budding arran harmonies, and to encourage pianists in the art of improvisation. ers in naming new Note: Some chord symbols utilizing the slash mark may indicate inversions that are different from the written notes, especially in some lefi-hand chords. In those cases, the chord symbols reflect “implied” harmonies, indicating notes that a bass guitarist or other similar instrumentalist might play. ‘Sweet By and By ‘Words: Sanford E Bennett, 1836—1598 “Music: Joseph P Webster, 1819-18 ‘There’ a land that is fairer than day, and by faith we can see it afar For the Father waits over the way to prepare ws a dwelling place there ‘We shall sing on that beautiful shore the melodious songs of the blest [And out spirits shall sorrow no more, not a sigh for the blessing of rest. ‘To our bountifial Father above, ‘we will offer the tribute of praise For the glorious gift of His love and the blessings that hallow our days, Refiain Inthe sweet by and by, we shall meet on that beautifil shores, In the sweet by and by, we shall meet on that beautiful shore, He Hideth My Soul ‘Words: Fanny J.
