These 5 hymns cover God's love to us, Jesus's love to us, and our love to Him.Written in the key of C, these 5 early intermediate piano solos have simple patterns that are easy for the intermediate pianist to sightread.These early intermediate hymn solos are equivalent to most Level 2 and 3 curricula.Ideal for church services (especially in February), Valentine’s banquets, conferences, recitals, and more!Arranged to be simple yet tasteful in style.Here is all the information you’ll need to decide if this collection of early intermediate sheet music is the level you’re looking for:· All in the Key of C (What Wondrous Love is This? is in A Dorian—no accidentals in key signature)· No key changes· Basic format: intro, verse/chorus, interlude, verse/chorus, ending· 2 verses each· Single-note melody in the right hand (brief LH melody in The Love of God)· Mostly broken 5ths and triads in the left hand· Repetitive patterns for easy learning· Similar chords between verses· Note reading up to 2 ledger lines· Rhythm not faster than eighth notes· Just 1 page turn each (exception: Oh, How I Love Jesus has 2) Jesus Loves Me is an old favorite, often seen as a “children’s song.” However, the words to this hymn of love are just as important for adults as for children. While a simple arrangement, this is not a childish sounding arrangement.· Features an “echo” melody written 8va· Left hand in treble clef for portions· Ends with hand crossing My Jesus, I Love Thee begins unexpectedly with colorful chords that finally release tension into a calm first verse. There are slight jazz textures in this arrangement but also classical elements with scales and Alberti bass.· Rich chord textures (just a hint of jazz/dissonance)· Accidentals· Right hand scales (ascending & descending) Oh, How I Love Jesus is a cheerful arrangement with just a hint of cinematic-style melodies. The chords are very similar between verse 1 and 2 in this arrangement, making it especially easy for the pianist to learn.· 6/8 meter· Cinematic elements· Chords repeat: open 5ths and 6ths or filled in triads/chords The Love of God starts with left hand melody, making this different from all the other arrangements. The goal is for this to be a seamless melody transition between the hands while the non-melody hand supports at a slightly lower volume.· Left hand melody for part· Right hand chords for part· Left hand repeats in different octaves for broader sound What Wondrous Love is This? is a haunting conclusion to the collection. It is predominantly arranged with open 5ths in the left hand and repeating patterns in the right hand. It ends with slow, four-note chords that are very hymn-like.· A Dorian mode· Very easy left hand (repeating open 5ths)· Sounds harder than it really is.
