Bradley Sowash Sheet Music Store - For the Beauty of the Earth

For the Beauty of the Earth Exquisite solo piano hymns and spirituals arranged in jazz, classical, boogie, funk and quiet ballad styles.
Book $21.50	For this collection, I drew on many musical influences to create arrangements that sound like jazz, classical, boogie, funk and quiet ballads. It includes a variety of tunes from ecumenical hymnals that match the CD recording by the same title. Guitar chord symbols are included for a combo approach, if desired. Although one will need to do more than simply "sightread" these pieces, I think you'll like the creative harmonic language as well as the chance to "shine" as a jazz pianist!

Customer Comments "I’ve been introducing more upbeat styles of music into worship since I came here... Unfortunately, I am not trained as a jazz or rock musician so I have to depend on people like you who have written out your creations for people like me to play. Thanks for that." - Larry, OH "I like the arrangements, especially "Just As I Am", one of my favorite hymns. You been a great influence on me, and I'm sure other's like me, filling a void of great jazz religious music." - Myron, FL
