Piano Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1374217 Composed by John Burkett. Arranged by John Burkett. Classical,Praise & Worship,Sacred. Score. 8 pages. John Burkett #958806. Published by John Burkett (A0.1374217). My Prelude on Woodworth (Just As I Am) is intended for church pianists looking for interesting arrangements of hymns familiar to their congregations.Ā The first section of my arrangement is simple enough.Ā But the remainder requires advanced pianistic skill with its wide-ranging arpeggios in the left hand and the use of so-called 3-handed technique, wherein the right and left hands alternate playing the melody notes in the middle compass of the keyboard, while also negotiating the aforementioned arpeggios in the left hand, as well as quickly moving arpeggios and scale passages in the right hand.Ā Near the end of the piece the use of the sostenuto pedal is also required.Ā In short, my arrangement is a virtuosic treatment in 19th century romantic style of a mid-19th century hymn tune.Ā I have provided a full-length recording to aid the prospective buyer in the decision-making process.Ā 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.
