amazing work! Did you arrange this yourself? If so, I'm way impressed

[danielhayles]

Thanks a lot man. It wasn't so much as arranged, I rather just explored the different ways I could modulate the piece and used that to create this improvisation. The fact that the piece was written in the 1500s and still sounds fantastic is the impressive part!

Very nice work. But if you don't mind me asking, what is the difference from being arranged and

"explored the different ways I could modulate the piece and used that to create this improvisation."

I thought that is what an arrangement was?

[danielhayles]

Well If I had thought out all that stuff and written it down before I played it, it would be an arrangement. But I was in this mindset as I was playing - I was modulating and improvising the piece as I played it - "On The Fly" I guess you could call it :)

Er... the song was written by Spafford Horatio in the late 1800s after his daughters drowned in the atlantic ocean.

[danielhayles]

Oh, I didn't mean that i wrote it. I meant i was improvising on the chords and stuff. Repeat, I definitely did not compose this piece..

This is another favorite Hymn of mine

[BishopsJazz]

Doc this is sweet. I like your substitutions/alterations. This is one of my favorite hymns; i think maybe cuz it lends itself to a jazz interpretation. Another one is the Old Rugged Cross. Keep on keepin on and the may the Lord continue to bless what you do.
