    Hi Rebecca,

    This is an oft repeated request – there is truly a need for more Spanish music arrangements. A few Spanish-speakers have simply fit the Spanish text into my English arrangements. I know enough about Spanish to know that this is sometimes a difficult and awkward match. My kids and I have a goal to learn Spanish in the coming months, perhaps I can make a better attempt in the future. Thanks so much for stopping by and for your comments – I will certainly see what I can do.

    My little Spanish branch needs lots of help adding music to our worship. I would love to see some of these arrangements in Spanish (#66 Cuan Dulce la Ley de Dios).

    Thanks, Tamara. I had previously fixed the piano-only part, but forgot to fix the score itself. I’ve updated it now. Please see if this looks better. I’m glad that the arrangements help out with your choir! Please feel free to keep the feedback coming; I really appreciate it!

    I love your arrangements and have used a number of them over the past several years in my Ward Choir and also a Stake Choir for Stake Conference last year. Thank you very much for sharing your gifts so generously! I’m not sure if you’ve had any other feedback about this, but I have noticed rhythm problems throughout the accompaniment in the How Gentle God’s Commands arrangement. Could you have a look and check it out? Thanks.

    Thanks, Tamara! I’m glad you find the arrangements useful. I have corrected the music spacing issues with the accompaniment. Thanks for alerting me!

    I do now! Thanks, Janae. (And I made sure the music spacing printed properly as well – see Tamara’s note).

    Do you have just the piano part written by itself?
