Holy, Holy, Holy
Piano/Organ Duets
By Marvin Gaspard

This is one of my favorite books. The arrangement of "It is Well with My Soul" is one of the best I have ever heard. It is all over Youtube and is a show stopper! I selected this piece to use when our church dedicated its new Rodgers 3 Manual...

Organ a couple of years ago. The piano part is impressive and the many tones of the organ settings serve as a powerful blend with such a moving combination of piano runs. The other pieces in the book are equally as nice.

This is my first purchase of piano-organ duets by Mark Hayes and Marvin Gaspard. They produce a very different sound from Bock arrangements but are on about the same level of difficulty. We have not performed any yet but expect to do so within the next month or so...

Too early---have not had much chance to look at it, none at all with both instruments. This binding makes it VERY DIFFICULT to turn pages and hold the book open! A real DOWNER on that score!

Mark Hayes has written another great set of arrangements--this time for piano & organ. The pieces make use of the strengths of each instrument while complementing each other. They are harmonically interesting and challenging without being impossibly hard. The duets work great as church service preludes.

Mark Hayes, along with Marvin Gaspard, has once again provided keyboard players with top rate music. Styles within vary from gospel "In the Garden" to a majestic Christmas medley to a calm, flowing "Fairest Lord Jesus." The collection ends with a grand, interesting arragement combining the famous Widor Toccata with...

Holy, Holy, Holy. Some of the pieces may seem a bit daunting, but most of the chords fit easily under the hands and are really not too difficult. Really, an excellent collection.
