Repertoire

I just finished memorizing my third piano piece, in meeting my goal of having at least three pieces in my "repertoire".   Unfortunately, I've forgotten all the pieces that I had previously memorized for the Music Guild when I was taking lessons, for it would be nice to have a larger, more varied, "repertoire".

However, I am pleased with these ones that I have now committed to memory, for they are hymns. As mentioned in a previous blog entry, I had memorized "My Jesus I Love Thee" and "I Need Thee Every Hour"; and I have now added "All Hail the Power".  These particular arrangements were all from "Lisa Nelson Hymn Arrangements for Solo Piano".

The words from hymns are often especially meaningful and full of theological content.   And, coupled with beautiful arrangements, this music is truly a gift from God.
