Little Seeds Lie Fast Asleep Simplified Primary Song
I have student of mine playing prelude songs before we have Opening Exercises. The idea is that she gets to practice, the children are able to sing some action songs after having sat through Sacrament Meeting, and it allows the Primary Presidency to get ready. I simplified Little Seeds Lie Fast Asleep for her. It’s probably TOO…

In Fasting We Approach Thee Here #139 Duet arrangement
My family was asked recently to do this hymn on Fast Sunday as a musical item. Actually, my entire family was asked to sing it but I have a teenage son who ‘doesn’t sing’ (he’d rather feign sickness than sing a musical item and I prefer he came to church with us), I have…

Jesus Said Love Everyone easy violin and piano duet
Here’s a cute little number. ‘Jesus Said Love Everyone’ in D Major for violin and piano. It begins with the violin playing the melody, then there’s an easy violin descant, then it returns to the violin playing the melody again. The piano accompaniment is the same as the Primary Song Book, transposed into D…

Search, Ponder and Pray arrangement for Solo Voice with Violin and Piano
A few months ago when I was thinking of the songs I wanted my Primary to sing for the Presentation this year, I had 12 songs that I definitely wanted them to do that tied in with the monthly themes. However, I also wanted to do Search, Ponder and Pray – because to me, that sums…

Need simplified primary songs?
I have come across two great sites with kind people who have simplified Primary songs, free to download. I know it must have taken them hours and hours to do. There is D’Net Layton’s site here. She has made the songs very simple, included colour pictures from the Primary Songbook and has some pre-reading songs…

Baptism/When I am Baptised Medley
Another Fireside favourite! I arranged this for my daughter and one of the gorgeous YW in my ward to sing at the Fireside last year mentioned in a post below. It is a simple but effective combination of the two songs, keeping the lilting 6/8 time signature so they flow together. It would be perfectly suitable…

Lord, Make me an Instrument of Thy Peace
Last year, I was asked to find an arrangement of St Francis of Assisi’s “Lord, Make Me an Instrument of Thy Peace” for a fireside. There are some lovely versions out there, but the requirements were that it needed to be a male vocal solo, and it had to be suitable for a Fireside. That meant that I couldn’t…

A Simple Mother’s Day Song: “Dearest Mother, I Love You” for violin, piano and child’s voice
I volunteered my little family to do an item for Mother’s Day this coming Sunday. (What was I thinking?) I whipped up a simple arrangement of ‘Dearest Mother, I Love You’ found in the Children’s Songbook. It’s simple, but you don’t want a complicated accompaniment or descant or you’ll have a very confused child singing.…

I Love to See the Temple – Violin Descant
I must have written this part out a few years ago, but didn’t put it up on a website. I was just thinking about what I should do with this song for the Primary Presentation when I realised I had this descant in my head, and I had already written it. A search on the…
