Silent Night -- SA + Children or SSA

I now have a new way of sharing music with you!

You can also click on the PDF button on the left hand side to bring up the sheet music so that you can print it out.

Here is an arrangement of Silent Night to be sung by Soprano, Alto & Children, or it could be a SSA women's trio.

Free Piano Music for Beginners

I found this site and thought I would pass it along. They have lots of piano music you can freely download to help teach your kids or yourself piano. The fun thing is that the tunes are mainly familiar ones that make them lots of fun to play.

Christmas Songs for the Beginning Pianist

My youngest daughter needed some Christmas songs that she could play on the piano herself this year. Here’s what I came up with for her!

Each of the songs are incredibly easy to learn. None of the songs require the piano player to change hand positions. One song gets just the left hand practicing. One song works just the right hand. All the others use both hands, but keep things just right for someone starting out.

The included songs are:

*Deck the Halls
*Hark! the Herald Angels Sing
*If I Were an Angel on Christmas Night
*Jingle Bells *Oh, Come, All Ye Faithful
*Silent Night
*We Three Kings I included an .mp3 of We Three Kings in case your child isn’t familiar with that song.

Click here to purchase and download right now (all 7 songs for $1.49 ). If you would like to try before you buy, please try out this free sample song!

Please adhere to copyright restrictions. If you have friends, family, coworkers and others that would like a copy of this music, send them a link to this page or to www.completelee.com where they can download their own. Thank you.

I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go Men's Trio

I wrote this arrangement on the spur of the moment when someone needed it in a hurry. We had 3 men and a piano available for a song and this is what I came up with. They performed it beautifully!

I also have a computerized audio recording of this song for ease of learning. You can listen to that here. It is the music only, no lyrics. So that you know what to expect, this is just a computerized audio recording. It isn’t done in a studio. All the tracks are computer generated. The sound is clear and you will be able to learn the song tune by listening to this mp3. Just don’t expect a spectacular studio produced sound, okay? :) Feel free to listen with this in mind!

Ye Have Done It Unto Me Song

This song combines the popular hymn "Love One Another" with a song I wrote entitled "Ye Have Done It Unto Me." The song lyrics draw heavily from Matthew 25:34-45 . That scripture really reveals how we are to love one another and because we love one another we are really loving the Lord. The song has two versions. One version is for all women, the other for a choir of SSATB. There is also an optional instrumental part--oboe or violin is nice.

Angel Children Picture Contest for Music Video

I could really use your help! I’m looking for your adorable, sweet girl and “definitely a boy” pictures so that I can create a music video featuring my song “If I Were an Angel on Christmas Night”. The video will be put on www.youtube.com for your viewing pleasure as soon as it is ready.

I want a wide variety of pictures. Kids in their Sunday best, or climbing a tree, or playing in the mud, or creating art, or hugging a sibling, etc. If you can match a picture to any of the following snippets of lyrics, all the better!

From the little girl's verse:
"I would sing with the voice of a night-en-gale.
I would dress in my pret-ti-est white."

From the little boy's verse:

"I would wear some-thing 'spe-cial-ly bright.

I would run here and there..."

From the "all the kids" verses:
"We would laugh, we would sing, make some joy-ful noise."

Children in the pictures need to be under 10 years old (or appear to be). I am accepting pictures with groups of children as well as single pictures. Pictures may be subject to some editing.

Email your submissions and questions to music@completelee.com by October 18th. Please include your email address and last name in the body of the email and use “Angel pics” as your subject heading. Your pictures will only be used for the purposes of this contest, and will not be sold, sent to random people via email, used for an unrelated project, printed out and hung on my wall, or anything other than precisely what I outlined.

Whether or not your submission is chosen, you will be entered into a drawing to win prizes, including downloads and CD’s.

Anyway, I hope you have a picture or two to share with me. You are welcome to pass the info in this post along to friends/relatives too if you want. I need quite a few pictures. :)

Thanks for your help!

Updates

Silly me. So I create a blog to post updates and such and then I don't update anything. Here comes an update and I'll be updating a little more regularly now. Thanks!

On the sidebar, you will see that I have updated the music links. Just to highlight a few...

Munchkins & Music is an awesome site that promotes music education. She offers wonderful tips, tricks, and ideas to teach children about music in many ways. Worth checking out.

Choral Public Domain Library offers a myriad of works that you may download and use for your choir. No need to worry about copyrights because they are all public domain.

Ward Choir Music has simple hymn arrangements for free download.

The two free sheet music sites have links to many free sheet music sites. (surprise) The only drawback is that a lot of the links are no longer functional and some of the links take you places that are hard to navigate and some links I clicked on seemed to have no free music. [Okay, so there was more than one drawback.]

The Church music website has helps on how to conduct, easy to download hymns and songs that playback and transpose for you, and other educational material. There's also some free songs from the church music contest available.

Sally DeFord's website has long been a ward choir conductor's favorite site. She has lots of original songs for free download.

If you click on Marika Lee's Music, that takes you directly to my music catalog where my music is sorted by subject and style.

I have been working on more hymn arrangements and scripture songs of late. I hope to have some more info on those posted soon. Talk to you soon!
