The Church Pianist: Free Vocal Arrangement



Here is a basic hymn with piano accompaniment
for a vocal solo.


The hymn: My Jesus I Love Thee lacks a variety
of chords. I have taken the liberty in adding several
chord substitutions to enhance the text.



The piano introduction adds a slight alteration to the
original melody for a twist.



Notice how I maintain the flowing pattern for the first
sentence of the vocal score before transitioning into a
different accompaniment pattern.



Hope this gives you some ideas for your own arranging.



I will provide the rest of this vocal arrangement in the
next article.
