C Instrument,Folk Instrument,Instrumental Solo,Piano,Treble Clef Instrument,Zither - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.565911 By Philip P. Bliss and Sharon Wilson. By Horatio G. Spafford and Philip P. Bliss. Arranged by Sharon Wilson. 20th Century,Sacred,Standards,Wedding. Score and individual part. 6 pages. Sharon Wilson #6574701. Published by Sharon Wilson (A0.565911). The beloved hymn When Peace Like a River by Philip P. Bliss is presented here as a flowing, peaceful instrumental duet (for BOWED PSALTERY solo with PIANO accompaniment). The psaltery part was designed for a beginning psaltery player and is written in the key of C major, but does include one sharp (F♯ = Gâ™). The piano accompaniment is at the early-intermediate level. To assist those new to reading music notation, two solo parts are included: one is the standard music notation and includes the lyrics for sing along enjoyment. The second solo part is identical to the standard music but instead of lyrics, the note names are provided below each note (example A, B, C…). The PSALTERY plays the melody throughout. An optional repeat is included in case a longer song is desired. A piano accompaniment and/or rehearsal track (MP3 format) is available for this arrangement as a separate purchase: It Is Well (Piano Accompaniment Track for Easy Bowed Psaltery Solo).The range of a typical soprano psaltery is two octaves beginning with the G above middle C (G4). However, since some psalteries have fewer than 25 strings, the range for this song is only 1 octave. Also, the notes are written an octave lower on the staff so they are easier to read and learn for beginner musicians. The notated range for this song is D4 (first D above middle C) to D5 (second D above middle C).The purchase price includes a combined score (grand staff, 3-stave) with both parts (PSALTERY and PIANO) on each page, plus 2 options for the 1-staff solo part (one with lyrics, one with alphabetic note names). The solo part could also be played by other instruments with the same range such as a violin.Visit Sharon Wilson’s website: www.SharonWilsonMusic.comSubscribe to her YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/user/SharonWilsonMusic
