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!

Organ - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1350882 Composed by John Burkett. Arranged by John Burkett. Classical,Sacred. Score. 5 pages. John Burkett #934160. Published by John Burkett (A0.1350882). My arrangement of the hymn tune Lyons (O Worship the King) is a relatively simple setting that requires only a two-manual organ and modest playing ability.  Like the original tune, this setting is cast in 3-part, or ABA, form.  The first, second, and fourth phrases of the tune are notated in elongated note values to allow for a more rhythmically active accompaniment.  The third phrase, notated in the original quarter-note values, is elaborated upon, thus bringing the middle B-secion into better balance with the outer two A-sections.  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 (A0.1336731). The Fugue on Amazing Grace was conceived for a 3-manual organ and requires that the organist be capable of making frequent registration changes using preset pistons.  The fugue is based on the opening phrase of the tune 'Amazing Grace' and is structured as a large-scale crescendo and decrescendo.  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 (A0.1341564). My Prelude on the tune Crusaders' Hymn (Fairest Lord Jesus) is intended for church pianists looking for interesting arrangements of hymns familiar to their congregations.  Much of the piece consists of the melody played slowly in the left hand, coupled with a tremolando accompaniment in the right hand.  The whole-tone scale occurs occasionally, contributing to the prevailing diaphanous atmosphere.  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 (A0.1350883). 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.

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.

Published by John Burkett (A0.1341934). My Prelude on the tune St. Catherine (Faith of Our Fathers) is intended for church pianists looking for interesting arrangements of hymns familiar to their congregations.  It is written in an overtly late 19th century romantic style with considerable use of chromaticism.  A fairly lengthy introduction hints frequently at the tune before the melody proper appears.  The chorus concludes in grandiose style followed by a brief postlude that quietly reiterates the opening measures 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.

Published by John Burkett (A0.1366923). My Variations on St. Christopher (Beneath the Cross of Jesus) require a wide range of technical prowess from relatively easy (Variation II) to advanced (Variation VII).  The Theme presents the unadorned hymn tune with an original 4-part harmonization.  Variation I is another 4-part setting but with a more rhythmically active acompaniment in the lower voices.  Variation II, a duo for the hands alone, is in the dominant key where the tune is accompanied by an unrelenting stream of triplets.  Variation III is a 3-voice canon in which the tenor and pedal bass imitate the soprano, though with a certain amount of intervallic freedom.  Variation IV is a trio in which the middle voice presents an ornamented version of the hymn tune.  Variation V is a brief fughetta, while Variation VI presents the tune in the pedals against quietly undulating triplets in the hands.  The final variation (entitled Introduction and Fugal Fantasy) is by far the most challenging and employs considerable chromaticism toward the end.  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 arrangememts of mine, some for organ and others for piano.

Organ - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1384296 Composed by John Burkett. Arranged by John Burkett. Christmas,Contemporary,Praise and Worship,Sacred. Score. 10 pages. John Burkett #968607. Published by John Burkett (A0.1384296). My Prelude on the Christmas carol tune Mendelssohn (Hark! the Herald Angels Sing) opens with a brief introduction based on the first measure of the third phrase of the tune.  An original harmonization of the entire tune follows, anchored by a repetitive rhythmic pattern of alternating rests and chords.  An interlude ensues, which is a rhythmically intensified reworking of the initial introduction.  Then the first phrase of the tune sounds in a new key in the pedal bass, accompanied by parallel triads in the hands.  Another interlude follows, also based on parallel triads, and leading to a statement in the pedals of the second phrase of the tune.  Slightly modified versions of the third and fourth phrases with varied accompaniments lead to a strong cadence.  The final section follows, beginning with an extended introduction that increases the rhythmic pace to the point where a constant stream of rapidly moving sixteenth notes drives forward to the final statement of the carol tune, and lends a sense of urgency as the flow continues underneath the melody.  The tempo slows slightly during a brief postlude in which the state trumpet reiterates a rhythmic pattern heard earlier.  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.
