John Purifoy offers pianists something truly special with his new volume of hymn arrangements, My Strength and Shield. Using a wide variety of compositional techniques, ranging from classical parallelism (When Morning Gilds the Skies) to rhythmic jazz (Wade in the Water), John makes sure to provide something for everyone. Each piece is written with the moderately advanced pianist in mind, and these settings will work equally well in worship services as well as concerts and recitals.
