Fresh Air Hymns - Volume 1 (PDF)

9 Inspired Hymn Arrangements for Solo Piano

Fresh Air Hymns — Volume I is a collection of nine piano arrangements that reimagine beloved hymns through fresh harmony, expressive color, and unique rhythms. Drawing from the richness of the Romantic piano tradition, these settings transform familiar melodies into sweeping, lyrical, and at times virtuosic works for solo piano.

Each arrangement offers a unique musical perspective—ranging from playful and rhythmic to deeply reflective and dramatic—while remaining rooted in the spirit and message of the original hymns. Subtle influences from choral writing and sacred traditions shape the textures throughout, creating music that both sings and resonates.

Designed for the intermediate to advanced pianist, this collection is well suited for:

Church services and offertories
Recitals and sacred concerts
Personal worship and devotional playing

Whether performed on stage or in quiet moments at the piano, Fresh Air Hymns invites both pianist and listener to experience these timeless melodies in a renewed and meaningful way.

Includes arrangements of:
Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty
Nearer, My God, to Thee
Count Your Many Blessings
Abide with Me
