Gospel hymns and spirituals have inherent qualities that easily lend themselves to progressions, voicings, and improvisation found in jazz stylings. The improvisational style found in these hymn settings should serve as starting points to make them your own. As you play through these settings, experience the joy and energy embedded within, allowing the vibrant gospel message to shine through.

Utilizing familiar hymns and melodies, the three arrangers have crafted twenty Intermediate settings that are fresh, creative, and rewarding for the developing pianist.

“I appreciate your stately arrangement of AMAZING GRACE. Others of my favorite arrangers have used rhythms that conflict with my interpretation of AMAZING GRACE. Of course, I know we all express worship differently, but yours is the first that “agrees” with how I play it. Thank you!”
— RON THOMAS: Music Director and Organist
Wow! Reading "Coming Home" was a roller coaster of different emotions! One minute I'm crying, the next I'm laughing, then I find myself on the edge of my seat! Most of all I found it inspiring and filled with love and God's mighty blessings on every page.
