Category Vocal Solo

I just finished a solo arrangement of “Be Thou My Vision.” It’s a traditional Irish hymn, and the tune lodged itself in my brain several weeks ago. The only way to get it out was to arrange it, and so I did over a Sunday afternoon. Sheet music and play-through video are here and in the Solo Arrangements section. Enjoy!

I was browsing through a song book called “Songs of Zion” published in 1918 (the same book where I found “If the Way be Full of Trial, Weary Not!“), And this song caught my attention. I decided to do a quick solo arrangement that I may sing in sacrament meeting next month. “Jesus, My Savior” can found in Solo Arrangements.

I decided to re-visit “Nearer, My God, To Thee” and do a solo version. The accompaniment is nearly the same as the choir version, but I did a little more experimentation on the melody for the vocal line. I generally don’t stray much from the original melody of a song in an effort to keep the spirit of it, but I think these variations still keep the reverence and spirit of the original hymn melody. This solo version of “Nearer, My God, To Thee” can be found in the “Solo Arrangements” section...

Here is a new arrangement of I Wonder as I Wander that I worked on over the Christmas season. It’s a vocal solo with piano accompaniment. Look for it in Solo Arrangements.
