Gospel Hymns with a Velvet Touch: 10 Elegant Settings of Beloved Hymns

Great arrangements.

Great book! Easy to learn offertories for the intermediate-advanced pianist. Takes a few times practicing, and you are ready to play in public. Nice arrangements!

What a wonderful arranger Tom Ferris is.

Tom Fettke is a fine arranger and I particularly love this book of Gospel hymns. I love Fettke’s velvet smooth style that he brings to the piano, and I intend to use his music especially in times, when softer music is needed. I am so glad I bought Mr. Fettke’s music and will enjoy it for years to come.

These arrangements are well suited for communion and preludes. They seem rather long for an offertory, but, of course, they can be shortened.The arrangements are not difficult, but are interesting and meaningful.
