The Church Pianist: Choir or Congregational Accompaniment:Part Two (When the Roll is Called Up Yonder)

New website: http://thechurchpianist.com/

Here is part two of yesterday's article providing

a free choir/congregational arrangement of

When the Roll is Called Up Yonder.

I love dressing up the chorus with an alternate

melody that fits within the chords being used.

Please note: This arrangment does agree with

all four voice parts in the hymnal.

I'm unable to use chord substitutions to prevent

clashing with the written chords but I do add

chord extensions here and there.

A chord extension is created by adding another

third above the root chord.

For example, this song is in A flat Major.

The A flat chord = A flat, C and E flat (consecutive 3rds).

Well, add a minor third above the final note and you land

on G flat. It adds a rich flavor (oops!..I'm hungry so I have

food on the mind).

Called Up Yonder:

( I did play all four voice parts to give the full effect of

the added accompaniment).
