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.

This timeless song based on Psalm 42 is given a new treatment with the addition of a mini-orchestra, which provides just enough color to heighten the impact. With easy-to-learn choral parts, the anthem builds to the final refrain and key change, singing, You alone are my strength and shield; to you alone may my spirit yield. This is a useful prayer of commitment and our longing to worship God.
