Were You There is an ideal contemplative hymn for the Easter season. The first stanza of this arrangement is solemn yet harmonically stimulating. The second stanza employs a flowing chromatic line, creating sufficient harmonic tension but enough familiarity for a general audience. As well as a key change, the third stanza uses rich chords and thick harmonic structures to evoke the crucifixion and resurrection scenes. This arrangement of the classic Easter hymn ends with a reflective and prayerful mood.

The Lorenz Corporation is thrilled to present Victor Johnson's debut book of piano arrangements! The keyboard music of this much loved composer has appeared in various compilations in the past, but this volume, from start to finish, is 100% Victor! These arrangements will take the pianist and listener through the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ, and Victor's abundant creativity makes these time-honored tunes sound new again. Pianists will treasure this collection during Holy Week, Easter, and the remainder of the church year.

O Praise the Name (Anastasis) is a great praise and worship song for the Easter season, or anytime! The lyrics speak of the crucifixion of Christ, his burial, resurrection and 2nd coming. This piano solo is arranged for advanced intermediate and contains helpful fingering, LH octaves, and up to 4 note chords in the RH. (If 4 notes are too hard to reach, just leave off the lowest note and adjust the fingering). The song starts quietly and builds into a powerful last chorus. A fun interlude comes between the last verse and chorus. Great song for church prelude or special music, recital, or personal worship. Written by Benjamin Hastings, Marty Sampson, and Dean Ussher; arranged by Amy J. Snyder.
