Seasons of Grace—Volume 8

SKU: GI.G-918

Seasons of Grace, Volume 5 features fourteen more intermediate level arrangements for the liturgical pianist. As with previous volumes of the series, Tate delights us with his take on many traditional hymns (including the lilting slane as well as an exciting multi-metric arrangement of I Sing The Mighty Power of God), chant melodies (such as in paradisum, beautifully paired with funeral songs by Liam Lawton and David Haas), seasonal pieces (such as a medley of Polish Christmas carols), and even a suite of Gospel favorites (including In The Garden, There Is Power In The Blood, and Blessed Assurance). Also featured are original tunes by Tate, including Open Our Eyes, O Lord, We Pray and two flexible interludes for those moments when you need a short, last minute instrumental piece during the liturgy. If you like the music of Jim Brickman, George Winston, and Jeanne Cotter, you will want to include Seasons of Grace Volume 5 in your CD and piano book collection today.

The eighth volume in the Seasons of Grace series features a delightful mix of chant and traditional hymnody along with several popular contemporary liturgical songs. The beautiful melodies of Michael Joncas are featured in two pieces (his well-loved “As Morning Breaks” as well as one of his newest creations, “Deep and Lasting Peace”). The dynamic pieces “’Tis the Gift to Be Simple,” “Noel Nouvelet,” and “Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella,” dance along with sparkling eighth and sixteenth notes. Newer liturgical titles include pieces by Jeanne Cotter, Chris de Silva, Rory Cooney, Zach Stachowski, and Paul’s “Life Is Changed, Not Ended.” The collection is rounded out by two more of Paul’s popular interludes, both of which are created for flexible use with optional repeats laid out on two easy-to-read pages. Most pieces are at the intermediate level, with only a few moments of more advanced technique that may require extra preparation. Complete your collection with Volume 8 today!
