Very impressive. You are correct those runs are tough to get smooth and clean. What those that don't play may not realize is that not only is it a difficult piece but memorizing these long pieces takes lots of work. I have no doubt you can have a career in the gospel music field.
Thanks. And your right people don't realize how much work goes into this stuff. Memorizing wasn't to bad for me. I learned it all by ear, and my ear is fairly good. I can pretty much listen to it once or twice and get pretty close. Music is pretty simple once you know the theory behind, and I guess I memorized as I went. Thanks, I do really hope that I get a job in the gospel music field, somewhere. Whether on stage or in the studio.
@PianistFishermanGuy I really love how you played this. What parts of music theory are most important to develop your ear to play songs after only hearing them once or twice? This is exactly what I am trying to learn.
Thanks. HAHA. Yes you do have to practice a lot. Hours and hours and hours a day for years! If this is something your planning on undertaking, all I can say is, "Be Prepared for the Long Haul!" Good Luck, and God Bless
Contact WORD MUSIC. You can google them and get their website. And you may have to call or email them, but ask for the Anthem "Hallelujah Chorus" arranged by Lari Goss. That should get it for you. Thanks
Thanks for the encouraging words. I'm sorry, however to tell you that, I do not have this song anymore. Sorry, but WORD MUSIC has it. There is no written music for what I played, but there is accompaniment reduction of the orchestra that is available with the choir parts. Hope this helps. Thanks again and God Bless!
Hello, my friend. Haven't heard from you on e-mail lately, so I thought I'd say "Hi" through this medium. Keep up the good work. Are you going to school for the summer or what? When will your CD be out (or the demo), either one?
hey, I've been super busy. School is finally OVER!!!! YES!!! I'm official a sophomore. Well I still have Final Exams next week, but that shouldn't be a problem. I'm going to take summer classes at my hometown community college this time around, and try to get my basics out of the way. But I haven't even started a demo CD, I don't know what to put on it. If you have any suggestions, I'm listening. I'll holler at ya later.
FANTASTIC....This Give Goose Bumps...You Are Truly Amazing...Look Forward To Seeing More Videos...This Is A Very Hard Song To Sing but Equally As Hard To Play...
Oh wow! I'm glad that the Lord is using these videos in such a way. Thanks again. It is very difficult to play, you are right. Hopefully I will get another vid on here. I want to do a demo cd this year, so hopefully I will be able to post some of that music on here. I also plan on doing some of my own simple arrangements, just 1 verse kinda deals of some hymns that might be interesting. We will just have to wait and see what happens. Thanks again and God Bless
I did a little audio editing to make the track suit me a little better. I completely took out the voices in certain places. From 1:26 - 1:34. Then I also added a very quiet click at the beginning. Using the program Audacity. Its freeware, you can find it on the web. It has a click track feature that I used to put in 2 clicks, so I would know when to come in, but I had it set to play only in the monitors and not in the house. Just a little audio tinkering. Let me know if I can help. Thanx
I'm not sure. Depends on your skill level, and how good your ear is. I've been playing for about 14 years now, and this still had its own difficulties. I would say it would be about Advanced-Intermediate level. The runs will be the hardest thing to get clean. I didn't do very well this night as far as clarity goes. I just don't think it was ready to be performed yet. I got this up and going in about 2 hours. So with 3 months you should be fine. You'll have lots of fun with it, I'm sure.
It is an anthem arranged by Lari Goss, for the company WORD MUSIC. You may check their site. Just google it. It is a choral performance track. So the music is adjustable on the Left audio, and voices on the Right. Let me know if you can't find it. And I'll try to help.
Sorry folks. There seems to be a few people on here that don't seem to know Jesus and keep posting filthy comments and leaving everyone negative feedback on their comments. Let's do what we can, and when you encounter one of them, try to introduce them to your friend, Jesus. Thanks!
Great job, truly enjoyable. God bless you and keep up the Lords work, your talent came from only one person, so use it for Him. Our prayers are with you.
Amazing Wil loved it wish i could play those songs like that but hmm as you know from cd not able to lol i enjoy everyone you put on here your awsome ..........Brian

Holly CRAP Wil that was awesome. What night did you play that song on? Everybody needs to see Wil play it live because it it much much better in person. Once again Wil you have blown us away. Thanks Your Brother
Hey thanks! That was Saturday Night. Hopefully I will get to put Friday nights on there too. I don't think they recorded Sundays though. I agree it was much better in person. Or it was for me anyways. So crazy to feel God just going nuts inside me! Thanks again Bro.
WOW --- Will, you've done it again. Fantastic and here at Christmas time. This is just great. Wonderful Job. Anthony Burger would have really been proud. Merry Christmas to you.
