Hymn # 291 Turn Your Hearts ~ Adapted for ‘Uber-Simplified Piano’ – Free Sheet Music

Okay ~ found out last Sunday that I was going to need to play the piano in Relief Society. I am also giving the lesson.  I guess I should be grateful that I am not talking in Sacrament meeting too.

The Lesson is on Quentin L. Cooks April Conference Talk Roots and Branches. That means – Family History and Elijah the Prophet.

We chose the opening hymn as # 291 Turn Your Hearts.

The chorister was concerned about whether I could play it.

I told her “It doesn’t matter ~ I probably can’t unless it is uber-simplified.

Hence my simplifying the hymns.

You’ll never see me grace the halls of Julliard,
~ I am grateful I can play as well as I do, now that I am closing in on 50.  

Hey – I am grateful I can remember how to read music!  Hee, hee, hee… 😉

So below is my Super-Uber-Simplified Left-hand arrangement of Hymn # 291.

I can play with the right hand well enough, and the left hand well enough, they just haven’t learned to play well together!  I play fine with my feet, they don’t get in the way.

For those who struggle with the right-hand, I apologize.

Usually the melody and the alto lines really need to be played, mostly because it’s the women in the congregation who are singing in parts.  The men, they either sing the melody or fit the notes in somewhere.

Now,  I do not want to diss the men who really can sing, they are usually good enough to pick their part out of the bass chord.

Here is the music – download for free and play happy! 🙂

Update on my lesson – at 12:35 Sunday morning, I learned that I had prepared the wrong lesson and had to quickly study a new lesson before going to bed.  The lesson topic was actually about Elder David A. Bednars conference talk titled: Bear Up Their Burdens with Ease.

The lesson went well and I will wait for another opportunity to give my scheduled lesson.
