Piano by Joel: the Fresh Piano Blog and Podcast

Giving away a whole lot of free piano music since 2005! I specialize in expressive piano interpretations and orchestral arrangements of songs and hymns, suitable for contemplation, meditation, relaxation, or just to keep you company as you go about your business. There's quite a few free mp3 downloads by now, so take your time and enjoy the music. I hope it meets your needs wherever you are in your spiritual walk.

Looking for music downloads? Just find the post containing the song you want, right-click the "Click Here to Listen" link, and choose "save as."

For the Beauty of the Earth (By Request)

A young listener (more and more people are "young") and piano music aficionado requested that I play For the Beauty of the Earth, the old hymn with music by conrad Kocher (1786-1872) and words by Folliot S. Pierpoint (1835-1917.) An appropriate tune for springtime, as I'm waiting for my front lawn to grow.

For the beauty of the earth
For the glory of the skies
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies

Lord of all to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise
