Beautifully done! Mark Hayes is always a favorite of mine. His arrangements have such beauty that is matched with an incredible amount of required technique. However, I do feel as though the piece could have been more as he describes. Playing in the style of Rachmaninoff is VERY hard to master, but given the technique you’ve shown in this video, I feel like it could have been done a little better. Expression and creativity is what makes this piece. Maybe try a little more rubato throughout. What really helped me with this piece was memorizing the verses for each section and highlighting each one on their own. Happy playing!! :)
I love Mark Hayes's arrangement of this piece. However, it wasn't performed in the manner in which he describes. He wrote this to be played in the style of Rachmaninoff, which requires expression and creativity. This piece was very mechanical in style and had no expression. Hayes also notes that there should be a drastic change from the minor to major key to denote what the last verse is saying in the hymn. Again, no distinction. When played according to how Hayes indicates in his piano solo notes (in the back of the book), it is a very moving and deeply felt piece which transcends to the listener. Not the case with this performance of this amazing arrangement.
clayton wintermantel Actually, as a pianist of 8 years who was able to sight read this piece and whom is also playing this for a competition, I found the original comments’ critique to be very informative and helpful. We should always strive for better in our society, and while this performance was good, I too felt it to be a little lifeless.

+Mark Ferwerda You're welcome to upload an alternative live performance of the same arrangement for a comparison of better technical playing and a more properly tuned upper register. Feel free to link it to this video so we all can see and hear the difference.

I'm sure you're right, but she still plays it better than I can.

Does anyone have the sheet music or where to buy it?
@@thesickchristian I believe the book this arrangement is in is called Gospel Classics by Mark Hayes
Good but not spiritual like Kim collingsworth s rendition/ needs to listen to Kim and practice and of course she can
Do it also
Mark Hayes is a great arranger -- playing is rather sloppy....and the upper register of the piano is particularly out of tune.
