Piano,Vocal,Voice - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1246639 By Johnny Mathis. By Erroll Garner and Johnny Burke. Arranged by Dave Gingras and John E. Dosher. Broadway,Jazz,Musical/Show. Score. 3 pages. DAVID LEE GINGRAS #841270. Published by DAVID LEE GINGRAS (A0.1246639). Misty is a jazz standard written in 1954 by pianist Erroll Garner. He composed it as an instrumental in the traditional 32-bar format, and recorded it for the album Contrasts - lyrics were added later by Johnny Burke. It appeared on Johnny Mathis' 1959 album Heavenly, and this recording reached number 12 on the U.S. Pop Singles chart later that year. It has since become the signature song of Mathis. This version, in the key of F major, features a root-based chord blocking that John and I have used in a number of our arrangements. We also added some pretty cool left-hand fills for your listening (playing?) pleasure - we hope you like what we've done to make this arrangement unique!

Piano Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1342734 Composed by John Burkett. Arranged by John Burkett. Classical,Contemporary,Sacred. Score. 6 pages. John Burkett #928241. Published by John Burkett (A0.1342734). My Prelude on the tune Dix (For the Beauty of the Earth) is intended for church pianists looking for interesting arrangements of hymns familiar to their congregations.  This exuberant setting in a conservatively modern style draws its energy from an almost constant stream of seventh-chord sonorities in the left hand accompaniment.  The melody, sometimes unadorned and sometimes ornamented, contributes to the forward motion with the frequent appearance of a dotted eighth/sixteenth rhythmic pattern.  Bitonal harmony is implied near the end of the piece.  I have provided a full-length recording to aid the prospective buyer in the decision-making process.  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.

Organ - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1350883 Composed by John Burkett. Arranged by John Burkett. Classical,Contemporary,Sacred. Score. 15 pages. John Burkett #935708. Published by John Burkett (A0.1350883). My Variations on Holiness (Take Time to Be Holy) require a wide range of technical prowess from near beginner (Variation II) to advanced (Variation IV).  The Theme presents the unadorned hymn tune, but with a new harmonization.  Variation I is a canon in which the imitative entries for each phrase occur at varying intervals.  In Variation II (for the hands only) the unadorned tune is accompanied by an unrelenting stream of sixteenth notes in the relative minor key.  In Variation III (entitled Pastorale) each phrase of the tune is preceded by a freely composed introductory segment.  The final variation (entitled Toccata) is by far the most challenging.  It moves at a rapid tempo in 5/8 meter with individual phrases of the tune appearing sporadically, often in an ornamented guise.  I have provided a full-length recording to aid the prospective buyer in the decision-making process.  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.

Piano Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1353490 Composed by John Burkett. Arranged by John Burkett. Classical,Sacred. Score. 10 pages. John Burkett #938224. Published by John Burkett (A0.1353490). My Prelude on Duke Street (Jesus Shall Reign) is intended for church pianists looking for interesting arrangements of hymns familiar to their congregations.  A 15-bar introduction based on the first four notes of the hymn tune prepares for the first statement of the tune accompanied by a repeated rhythmic pattern of intervals of a third.  The second statement, in a different key, is essentially fugal in nature and concludes with a bridge to the final statement.  This statement is the most difficult to play.  The tune is played in long tones in octaves between the two hands.  The difficulty comes in the quick and wide leaps to chords that occur after each melody note is struck.  I have provided a full-length recording to aid the prospective buyer in the decision-making process.  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.

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1355945 Composed by John Burkett. Arranged by John Burkett. Classical,Patriotic,Praise & Worship. Score. 7 pages. John Burkett #940668. Published by John Burkett (A0.1355945). My Prelude on the hymn tune Materna (O Beautiful for Spacious Skies) is intended for church pianists looking for interesting arrangements of hymns familiar to their congregations.  Three statements of the tune convey three entirely different moods.  The first is in G-flat major and creates an ethereal mood with its accompaniment of glissandi scales in the upper range of the keyboard.  The second is a straightforward duo with a flowing scalar accompaniment in the key of F major.  A bridge section gradually increases the rhythmic pace, while simultaneouly increasing the dynamic level to fortissimo.  This sets the tone for the final grandiose statement in B-flat major with the melody played in octaves in the bass below a rapid scalar accompaniment in the right hand.  The expected bombastic conclusion is subverted by a rising whole-tone scale in G-flat marked subito piano.  The final phrase returns to the key and mood of the beginning with its upwardly rising glissandi.  I have provided a full-length recording to aid the prospective buyer in the decision-making process.  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.

Piano Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1382867 Composed by John Burkett. Arranged by John Burkett. Classical,Praise & Worship,Sacred. Score. 6 pages. John Burkett #967291. Published by John Burkett (A0.1382867). My Prelude on the hymn tune Bunessan (Morning Has Broken) is intended for church pianists looking for interesting arrangements of hymns familiar to their congregations.  After a brief introduction, the traditional Gaelic melody, played by the right hand, is undergirded by an original harmonic scheme outlined in wide-ranging arpeggios played by the left hand.  The next section begins with a fugato that segues into bravura passgework, culminating in a dramatic reappearance of the last two phrases of the tune, enveloped in tumultuous arpeggios.  This setting demands considerable pianistic skill.  I have provided a full-length recording to aid the prospective buyer in the decision-making process.  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.

Organ - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1347300 Composed by John Burkett. Arranged by John Burkett. Classical,Sacred. Score. 5 pages. John Burkett #932107. Published by John Burkett (A0.1347300). This arrangement of the hymn tune St. Agnes (Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee) is a relatively simple setting that requires only a two-manual organ and modest playing ability.  A 12-bar introduction sets the mood.  Each phrase of the tune then appears, each separated from the next by a brief interlude.  Just as the piece seems to reach its conclusion, the final cadence is evaded and a second rendition of the melody is heard in another key.  I have provided a full-length recording to aid the prospective buyer in the decision-making process.  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.

Published by John Burkett (A0.1427990). This Prelude on the Christmas carol tune Christmas Song (There's a Song in the Air) is the first of two settings I have created based on this tune.  This setting requires only a two-manual organ and is of moderate difficulty.  Structurally, the piece begins with an introduction that makes use of the dotted eighth/sixteenth rhythm that pervades the tune itself.  A fresh harmonization of the first two phrases of the tune follows.  They are succeeded in turn by an interlude similar to the introduction.  A harmonization of the third and fourth phrases of the tune is then presented.  A shorter interlude leads to a varied restatement of the last phrase, itself followed by a brief postlude, again employing the aforementioned dotted rhythm.  I have provided a full-length recording to aid the prospective buyer in the decision-making process.  I encourage you to search he Sheet Music Plus or the Sheet Music Direct website for other hymn arrangements of mine, some for organ and others for piano.
