Lead sheet (melody & chords) of Beethoven’s classical masterpiece, Fur Elise.

This is the Bandleader Gig Pack which has a lead sheet in the key of concert A minor for C, Bb and Eb instruments (arrangements in Am, Bm and F#m); perfect if you have a clarinet, sax or trumpet player wanting to play along with the band in their written pitch.

A classical songbook must-have, this arrangement has been gig-tested and has a very easy to follow roadmap, with all essential music notes, musical cues and rehearsal markings throughout. Layout is in a larger style font than lead sheets in a typical fakebook yet still condensed to fit on 2 pages. This format can be used for guitar sheet music, for piano sheet music, as instrumental sheet music, vocal sheet music or as accompaniment to a soloist (e.g. violin, flute)

As of this publishing, over 137,000 people have found my one video collection of funeral hymns on YouTube, not including separate postings of each individual song. Because of this it's been on my mind for a long time to write a funeral song, but it was somehow just never the right time until just a few weeks ago when this one came pouring out in 5 minutes flat [which does not happen often, I can assure you!]. The culmination of years of playing for funerals, a bachelor degree in theology and sacred music, and many more years of writing and playing music through good times and also times full of grief, Lord of All Our Days is my very best and heartfelt attempt to serve those who are also dealing with the absolute heartache of loss, be it the acute, fresh grieving of just losing someone or the flashbacks that come time and time again, years and even decades later.

This song carefully and tenderly handles the true earth-shaking grief that it is to lose someone you love, while holding out a strong hope of the life to come for those who trust God. I had a very difficult time recording it without being moved to tears over and over, and I pray it will reach many in need of comfort, being of service to anyone who is looking for a Christian, Biblical funeral hymn for a memorial service or a celebration of life service. 

This is the exact guitar version I used to record the Outdoor Acoustic Version of Lord of All Our Days, as heard on all streaming platforms. It is intended for use as a burial song, sung softly and reverently accompanied by a quiet guitar at the internment portion of a funeral service if music is desired at the graveside. I recommend playing it on capo 3 to match the original or a few higher to match your voice. You may also prefer to get the other version in C major and save using a capo. This version is just easier for a slightly more beginner guitarist. One other recommendation is to play it even lower so people can sing very quietly, i.e. capo 1 or even no capo at all, depending on the voice of the person leading the song.

Also available, by searching Stacey Plays Hymns and the song title on this site, are the following versions:

Piano Vocal in Bb Minor to match the original recording [vocal range: Bb3-Bb4]
Piano Vocal in C Major for easier playing and a better congregational vocal range
Lead Sheet for piano or guitar in C Major - best key for singing without a capo
A backup music mp3 track for soloists to perform with in a service, including the full backup choral arrangement.

For other formats including large print, a different key to match a soloist's preferred range, or piano solo for a matching prelude or postlude, please write me at staceyplayshymns@gmail.com and I'll be glad to make them especially for you. Purchase includes a free license for one funeral or memorial service with under 1000 people, with proper attribution and credit in all printed or online materials. For a license to use this work on a larger scale, please contact me for permission and other usage details including lyrics formatted for printing in church bulletins or for powerpoint. Please let me know if there is any other way I can serve you as a congregation or fellow music/choir director as I endeavour to write several new choral anthems per year, along with my other recording work.

Here is a beautiful, simple advent song I wrote to serve churches through the season of Advent, particularly during the candle lighting portion of each Sunday the weeks leading up to Christmas. I recommend singing verse 1 on week 1, verse 1 and 2 on week 2, and so on, but you can also just use a different verse each week depending on your service needs and time constraints. There are recordings available for each of the weeks of Advent on all streaming platforms as of November 1, 2024, in case that is helpful to your service preparation or to choirs who are learning the song. 

This version is in C Major, with a vocal range of C4-A4, a very comfortable range for congregational singing. Also available, by searching Stacey Plays Hymns and the song title on this site, is a full piano vocal accompaniment version and a piano solo that is perfect for a prelude or postlude any time this song is used congregationally, to tie the whole service together muscially.

Purchase includes a free license for four church services with under 300 people, with proper attribution and credit to Stacey Plays Hymns in any printed or online materials.

Here is the full and accurate lead sheet version in the original key of my arrangement of Round Me Falls the Night, as heard on YouTube. This beautiful evening hymn is a perfect pairing of a solemn, contemplative melody with uplifting, scriptural lyrics that remind us of the hope we have in Christ, in this life and the next. I found this song in a very old hymnbook, so old that you could feel the raised print on the page, and loved the lyrics so much! However, I felt that a minor melody would suit it in a really special way, so I rewrote it with new choral harmonization using a mixture of minor modes to match the evening mood of the song. This piece works well as a choir anthem for evensong, funerals, or for any more contemplative, low-key service, and is written in a comfortable, singable range for everyday singers. It works well either with a soft organ or keyboard/pad accompaniment or a capella, to showcase the rich vocal harmony reminiscent of Elaine Hagenburg or John Rutter.

Full piano accompaniment in F Minor [original key]
Full piano accompaniment in E Minor [easier key]
Lead sheet in E Minor
