Reviews
Displaying all reviews (4)This isnt exactly what you hear on the cd (less complex) probably to make it a little more playable for a wider range of skill levels. That being said, however, it doesnt over simplify it either and with a little bit of improv its helped me get pretty close. Im definitely satisfied.
Nathaniel_Sorensen
Because I am mainly a singer and my piano skills aren't that great, I couldn't handle playing this music myself. But my accompanist for church played it well, and it is very beautiful. It is very accurate to the Nichole Nordeman recording and is in a good key for a medium voice.

Follows the original arrangement fairly well. It Doesnt come with dynamic notation - so I had fun interpreting my own. Its a great son for any Good Friday or Easter service.
