Lead me to a Rock

I was reading Psalms 61 and 62. The idea of a song just struck me. This song was written in under 3 hours last week. It is meant for children's ministry.

Star Wars arrangement for beginner strings and piano

I arranged this for my strings students because they were working on an excerpt of Star Wars for an audition. I wanted to make sure they use what they learned so I have included the excerpt in this beginning quintet for Star Wars. This could be played without piano. It is written in 4/4 instead of the original John Williams with changes in the time signature and irregular meters. Obviously, it contains only the first theme not the entire Star Wars movie theme.

Blessed assurance for Piano - intermediate level

Come Thou fount of every blessing, Intermediate level piano

Be Thou My Vision for Piano, Intermediate level

i have never heard this piece played like this....

There's amazingly brilliant parts and there are brilliantly frustrating parts. There is no doubt Ivo is a brilliant and eccentric pianist. He is a pianist who is romantically involved with his pieces no matter from which era they are from! He doesn't care for what piece is supposed to be played like in its era. He plays it how it likes hearing it, which is refreshing and frustrating at the same time because as the audience I cannot control his playing. I have a certain taste and look forward to listening to some parts of this piano concerto played in a certain way. Anyway, here's Ivo and Tchaikovsky..... piano concerto in Bflat minor. It's crazy, just sayin'.
