Top Ten Instrumental Reflections

For a while now I have been sharing my Instrumental Reflections with you. These are primarily piano pieces composed and recorded at one sitting, which can be used for prayer times, altar times, devotionals, journaling, nap time or just to relax to.

I began wondering if anyone did listen, and if  so which of the reflections were most popular. Here they are listed by month and by year.

Here are the Top 5 Instrumental Reflections for the past month.

Instrumental Reflections #15- Reflections for Lent

Instrumental Reflections #20- Great is Thy Faithfulness

Instrumental Reflection #21 – On a Hill

While I sat down to write this I had the words to the hymn “Old Rugged Cross” stuck in my head. The phrase “On a hill, on a hill far away, stood an old rugged cross, an old rugged cross” kept echoing in my head. That rhythm became the recurring  theme of this song.

Instrumental Reflection #14- Jennifer’s Bridal Entrance

This past weekend I had the honor of playing for a friends wedding. This is the song that I wrote for the Bridal party to enter into. This recording is the actual live recording. If you listen in the background you can hear some shuffling feet when the grooms enter the room, and also at the end the pastor begins the service. The piano waits about 15 seconds before it starts.

Congratulations Jennifer and Austin. You are in my prayers as you begin your wonderful life together.

Instrumental Reflection #13- In the Bleak Midwinter

I have always loved this Christmas song. The chord changes are beautiful and the melody just flows. I hope you enjoy it too.

Instrumental Reflection #12- O Come O Come Emmanuel

Christmasreflections3This week I am starting with the first of my Christmas instrumental reflections. My original plan was to have 8-10 of these done by Thanksgiving. With moving and other things, that has been pushed back a little bit. I do plan to get them out as soon as possible though, so keep listening. If you have a suggestion for a Christmas instrumental reflection send it in to me. I will choose one name, from those who leave suggestions, to send a CD with all the holiday instrumental reflections to when I am done.
