Mark Hayes: Hymns for the Intermediate Pianist
Hymn Settings that Touch the Soul
By Mark Hayes

Mark Hayes' style is very honoring to the songs that he arranges. The songs are difficult, but his technique adds so much clarity to the words of the song. I have really enjoyed working on the hymns in this book.

I bought this book, sight unseen, because I have other music by Mark Hayes and really appreciate some of his arrangements. And because I needed music for church that I can pick up and play without having to practice for a long time. I'm glad I bought the book...

. As with all piano books, I found a handful of songs that I like and will use; the rest of the songs are not my style, so I will likely not use them.

Am hoping to have every book of secular and sacred piano solos that Mark Hayes has published. I get so many compliments on "my" playing when he deserves all the credit for such great arrangements which make me sound so good! Even the simplest arrangements sound beautiful, and the more...

advanced ones are so much fun to play. Give us more Mark!

I really like Mark Hayes arrangements.They are not easy, but make you work to play them well.I still mostly use the organ in church, but as I learn the music (and get braver) I will play them at church

I was very dissappointed with this book. I have several Mark Hayes books and love them but this is not his usual style of music and i could not find much in it to play. It was basically a waste of money for me.
