Mark Hayes Online Store : Keyboard Collections

What’s “new” is actually “old” – and that certainly applies to this new collection of Mark's. These are songs which have been in the repertoire of churches around the world for over a century, and some for multiple centuries. There are folk tunes, and also tunes by celebrated “classical” composers: Jean Sibelius and Ralph Vaughan Williams. Other hymns are given a classical treatment (Mark Hayes brings Beethoven into O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus, and Lloyd Larson adds Baroque counterpoint to Rejoice, the Lord is King). There are songs from Germany, Finland, Wales, Ireland, England, the United States…and even one written by an Englishman who emigrated to the United States (Rejoice, the Lord Is King by Arthur Messiter). In addition to O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus, Mark contributed I Sing the Mighty Power of God. Level: Moderate
