Resignation

This arrangement of mine is a musical reflections on the hymn tune, Resignation, a melody of anonymous authorship from William Walker’s “Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion” (1835).

The second “verse” of the arrangement is a minor key treatment of the melody. It returns to a more upbeat character on the “third” verse, and an even more positive statement on the “fourth” verse.

The sheet music is available at https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/resignation-for-solo-piano-digital-sheet-music/22511247 and https://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/en-US/se/ID_No/1330431/Product.aspx.

I don’t have videos of me playing a lot of these solo piano arrangements. I recorded them before I got into the practice of making videos. When there’s no video, I’m using a score synchronized with my audio recording.
