A (tution) teacher of mine always hold some sort of a party or concert and prize ceremony for her students at the end of each semester.

As a graduated student, I was invited a couple of times to play a couple of songs for the kids, oh well, students i mean. The past few times it was for students from Family and Student Care Center. Not sure what happen though, I got really excited about playing and so I did an arrangement of a hymn so my cello, piano friends and me could play it.

Ignoring the wee hours of midnight, it took me a few hours, but I churned out some music, well with a piano (only tapping it softly), some paper and pencil, a PC, which of course I make use of the LilyPond software, equipped with my favorite lilytool for jedit, and a little help from noteworthy composer, the earphones, and the printer.

So the piece is “O Perfect Love”, and well its really isn’t much of a arrangement, except I “rearranged” the parts to form something else. Its far from good, but here’s the midi, pdf, and the source file if you care.

If you want to know more about this hymn, read more about it at cyber hymnal. Its was a tune to another hymn, and came the “O perfect Love” lyrics which makes it suitable for a wedding. And yes, my brother told me once to play this piece for his funeral, as he wants it to be a joyful occasion.

So much for the publicity of a little work I have done. Its sure to get huge criticism once I show this to the experts.

Update: So we indeed manage to play this song.. And, here’s a practice I recorded, which wassnt that bad by my standards, that we come together playing interestingly after all of us have not touch our respective instruments for some time. There’s the super compressed ogg and wma formats, whichever your computer can play.
