Product Description

My Prelude on The Old Rugged Cross ("The Old Rugged Cross") is intended for church pianists looking for interesting arrangements of hymns familiar to their congregations  My setting contains much chromaticism, stemming from the idea in the baroque period that chromaticism evoked a sense of sorrow.  The text associated with the tune certainly conveys that emotion.  George Bennard harmonized his entire hymn tune in the key of B-flat major.  I, however, harmonized the first half of the refrain in the relative key of G minor.  After a presentation of the entire melody, I bring that passage back and end on the dominant chord.  I have provided a full-length recording to aid the prospective buyer in the decision-making process.  I encourage you to search the Sheet Music Plus or the Sheet Music Direct website for other hymn arrangements of mine, some for organ and others for piano.
