I remember growing up listening to church pianists improvise the old hymns and wishing that I knew how to add in all those extra notes like they did. đ Thatâs what the new CD, âReflectionsâ by Sandy Skinner reminds me of. In a world that is ever bustling with activity, itâs nice to still be able to sit back and let the simplicity of the solo piano wash over you as it sings forth the timeless melodies of some of Christianityâs greatest hymns.
You can play a nice sampling of the music at Sandyâs website. On this disc, youâll find these twelve selections: It is Well with My Soul, Blessed Assurance, Fairest Lord Jesus, In the Garden, Near to the Heart of God, How Great Thou Art, This is My Fatherâs World, My Jesus, I Love Thee, âTis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus, Sweet By and By, On Eagleâs Wings, and May the Good Lord Bless and Keep You.
Sandy has graciously offered to giveaway three copies of her âReflectionsâ CD to readers of Music Matters Blog! Just leave a comment below to be entered in the giveaway. The winners will be selected at noon on Thursday, December 23, using a random number generator. Enjoy the CD yourself, or give it as a gift to someone else who loves piano music!
