HamPublishes 30th Book of Piano
Arrangements
11
Associate Professor of Music and Artist-in-Residence
Marilynn Ham
will publish her 30th book of piano arrangements in March 2018. A
Glorious Gospel Celebration will be a collection of Southern gospel
favorites, including “Since Jesus Came Into My Heart,” “Look and
Live,” “God Leads Us Along,” “Ring the Bells of Heaven” and “What a
Day That Will Be.” Ham chose pieces that are favorites of her parents
and friends of their generation. “I’ve played many pieces of this style
over my life, so some of the ideas were already in my head, and I
wrote the book in just two months,” she says. “It gave me something
to pour my thoughts into after the passing of my husband. I know
he would be happy I started to write again.”
