Hymn Arrangements

  • Come Thou Fount (String Quartet)
An easy string quartet version of the beautiful hymn "Come Thou Fount."  Put in a friendly key with bowings and slurrings added for ease.



Cello


This Trio was written for a Night of Music in our Stake.  Each instrument has the melody at some point, and the each verses changes slightly to help feel like something new is being played.

Score
Violin I
Violin II
Viola

  • O Come, O Come Emmanuel
A violin solo with piano accompaniment.  An overall easy piano part and a friendly key for violin make this a great addition to sacrament meetings, devotionals, etc., especially around Christmas time.

Violin

A duet with piano accompaniment, this arrangement has 2 violins (or other instruments - I played my viola with my wife on oboe for a sacrament meeting), with simple parts, but beautiful harmonies.  Piano part a little more challenging, but still overall quite manageable.  An excellent choice for a short musical number.  Comments from the congregation were, in fact, mostly that they wished there were more of it.  Written most especially for younger players.

2 Violins with Piano Accompaniment:

Violin and Viola with Piano Accompaniment:
  • Follow the Prophet
 
    A duet of "Follow the Prophet" for two violins, violin and viola, or two soprano instruments.  I wrote this for my wife and I to play at my Nephew's baptism.  Violin I has some either shifting or some extensions, but very manageable to play.

    Viola (Optional in place of Violin II)
    • More Holiness Give Me
    A violin solo with Harp or Piano Accompaniment.  With a quiet simplicity, this is an excellent choice for a sacred setting.


    Score
    Violin
    • The Lord is My Shepherd (String Quartet)
    An easy string quartet version of the beautiful hymn "The Lord is my Shepherd" transcribed from the hymn.  Put in a friendly key with bowings and slurrings added for ease.

    1. A Cremona violin symbolizes the pinnacle of violin craftsmanship, originating from the renowned city of Cremona, Italy. Home to legendary luthiers like Antonio Stradivari and Giuseppe Guarneri, Cremona produced some of the world’s finest violins in the 17th and 18th centuries. These violins are celebrated for their exceptional tonal quality, rich resonance, and meticulous craftsmanship. Owning a Cremona violin is not just about possessing an instrument. it's about holding a piece of musical history that continues to inspire musicians with its unmatched sound and beauty.
