A Month of Sundays: Thanksgiving and Praise (Book & CD) (Sacred Performer Collections) [Paperback] Review

A Month of Sundays: Thanksgiving and Praise [Paperback](This is Sarah, my husband's name comes up on the review.) I purchased this book just for the arrangement of "Now Thank We All Our God," which is meditative and in 3/4, which gives it a lilting feel, written mostly in triplets. There is an energetic arrangement of "O For A Thousand Tongues to Sing," and a great theme and variations on "Come, Christians, Join to Sing." The minor, flowing 3rd variation contrasts with the baroque-style 2nd variation. They are in the same key so you can play the variations in any order. As an advanced pianist, I could master her arrangements with about 30 minutes of practice. They are not difficult, but they sound complex and have beautiful layers. Not as frilly or showy as Mark Hayes, they have more of a classical feel to them. I would recommend any of Jan's books for the church pianist trying to find fresh, accessible arrangements for Sundays. You can pull them out and change around the preludes, offertories, and postludes. I've played them all at various times in different services and had comments every time from congregants who enjoyed the music.

Jan Sanborn's vast experience as a church musician has inspired her love for the old hymns, whose messages powerfully address our life experiences. A Month of Sundays: Thanksgiving and Praise is an extraordinary collection for advanced pianists that includes time-honored hymns for all styles of worship. The pieces are grouped into four prelude-offertory-postlude combinations (one for each Sunday of the month). The arrangements are fresh and unique, conveying a wonderful spirit of thanksgiving.

Steely Dan - Two Against Nature (Pvg) [Paperback] Review

Steely Dan - Two Against Nature [Paperback]As with all "Piano-Guitar-Vocal" transcriptions, this book is basically a set of lead sheets for the songs on Steely Dan's exceedingly excellent record "Two Against Nature". So you get what you expect from such things...i.e.: the vocal melody and the main melodic musical themes in standard notation (priceless-bass and treble clef, of course) with the little chord boxes for a guitar to play along. The transcriber did a great job nailing the complex chord structures...keep in mind though that the boxes are not necessarily indicative of the actual inversions that the guitar is playing...however, the harmonic structure is absolutely there. So this will not deter real players from using this helpful resource as an enlightened player will take the ball and run with it. Another important work from these truly amazing american songsmiths. This is an EXCELLENT book.

Casio WK-3800AD 76-Key Electronic Keyboard with Power Supply Review

Casio WK-3800AD 76-Key Electronic Keyboard with Power SupplyThe Casio WK3800 is a fun and very versatile keyboard with good quality onboard speakers.My previous keyboard, which I still have, is an older Yamaha PSR series.The WK3800 gives you a good deal of control and "fine tuning" for each of the preset digital voices/tones (e.g., attack/release, touch response, reverb, vibratto, resonance, octave, pan, equalizer, and other effects, which can be saved as new user tones ... and then mixed(using layer and split) onto the keyboard and saved as an entry in the register. You can monitor/record on several separate tracks of and, later, put them all together for a rich composition playback. The only downside with recording to the separate tracks is that you lose the layer/split functions during recording (a small hassle that I hope the next series of Casio keyboards will rectify). If you would like to have a layered and split recording (four tone settings used), you have to record each of the four tones separately (i.e., record yourself playing your song four times). This limitation of the record function is the only reason I did not give the Casio WK3800 4 stars out of 5, instead of a perfect 5.

The Reader's Digest Children's Songbook [Spiral-bound] Review

The Reader's Digest Children's Songbook [Spiral-bound]I was very disappointed in this book.It includes many popular songs, but excludes many many more.I was looking for a classic collection of children's songs (Home on the Range, O Susannah, On Top of Old Smokey, There's a Hole in my Bucket, Down in the Valley) none of which are included.The binding is adequate, the lyric book is flimsy.
