An instrumental rendition of a sacred song of mine, “The Lost (a song of hope).” The words are based on 3 parables.

Website composition catalog
This LINK takes you to the list of my compositions on my website. I have a bunch more pieces to add, but this is a start. I plan to have a link to scores and audio for everything possible, directly from there. So, the page is definitely a work in progress. But, wanted to let you know the page is in this new, downloadable, searchable, sortable spreadsheet format.
I’ve embeded the spreadsheet here as well so you can see what it looks like.
Garden of Stars (live perform video)
I’m working at getting videos of me actually playing some of the recent pieces. Then, as I go along, I hope to start playing catch-up and record videos some of the older pieces. In my 77, soon to be 78, years I’ve written hours of music. I know I’ll never make videos of it all, but at least some of it, maybe…pieces that work for piano.
St. Columba (revised, free score)
Wouldn’t ya know it: someone just now bought my previous version of my arrangement. Whoever you are, thank you! But, I hope you see this post so you can download this revision. I really do think it’s better and more playable.
If you have a student who you think would enjoy playing this piece it can be purchased from my composer page at either SheetMusicPlus or SheetMusicDirect. (Those probably won’t have be listed until sometime next week…it always takes them a few days to review.) The audio can be streamed for free at https://soundcloud.com/hilton-kean-jones/st-columba-pf-solo-revision.
Garden of Stars (FREE SCORE)
The blog post just before this one had a link to Garden of Stars YouTube video, a video of the “piano roll” from Logic Pro software, the software I use to record my piano playing.
But the purpose of this post is to offer you a free download of the actual sheet music if you’d like to have it…
If you’re a teacher and you’d like to have one of your students play it, please ask them to purchase it at https://www.arrangeme.com/title/A695069. It’s inexpensive.
You can listen to it (free streaming) on SoundCloud at https://soundcloud.com/hilton-kean-jones/garden-of-stars.
If you’d like to see the “piano roll” from the last blog post, here it is again…

For some reason the email of The Dream of Love That’s Come didn’t display the audio link. Here is is: https://soundcloud.com/hilton-kean-jones/the-dream-of-love-thats-come.
The Dream of Love That’s Come
Our move is finally over and I’ve got my office (and my mind) more or less tidy enough to start back to work. The first project was to finish this anthem/song/whatever…
You can download the score at this link:
And you can listen to it here:
I’d love to get a grant that would pay the musicians, conductor, and studio to make a recording of the couple dozen anthems (hymns) I’ve written, but I really don’t know where to even apply for such a thing. My stuff’s too commercial and, doubly damned, it’s religious. Not promising for grants.
Until such a utopian future, I’ll have to satisfy myself with computerized orchestral demos, like this one. The score gives the words, so you’ll have to use your imagination.
