Hymns of the Heart by Jerald Simon, features 9 arrangements of well known and beloved hymns. Each hymn arrangement was "spontaneous" and recorded in an improvisational way - without any rehearsing or prior planning for the arrangement. Jerald wanted to "feel" the arrangements out and let them come naturally - spur of the moment and freely. Generally, Jerald writes out the music beforehand and plays note for note what he has composed/arranged prior to recording, but in this case, he wanted to let the music speak for itself without any forced or rehearsed guidance or assistance. What came out during the recording is what you hear. It is what Jerald felt as he recorded the music.

The nine hymn arrangements are:

1: A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief - 6:24
2: Abide With Me, Tis Eventide - 5:57
3: Come Follow Me - 6:04
4: Did You Think to Pray - 6:50
5: Father in Heaven, We Do Believe - 4:33
6: I Know that My Redeemer Lives - 8:14
7: Joseph Smith’s First Prayer - 8:54
8: Love at Home - 7:08
9: Sweet Hour of Prayer - 5:53

"Jerald Simon's hymn arrangements are as beautiful as they are musically interesting. I'm sure people are going to love hearing them in church meetings or wherever they are played." - Jon Schmidt (Piano Guys)

"Jerald is a gifted pianist who has put together a lovely heartfelt collection of Hymns." - Paul Cardall (Music Producer, Film Composer, Recording Artist)

"Jerald Simon's arrangement of A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief is peaceful and soothing. It is not rushed, allowing lines to breathe and resolve. He continues to produce music that will bring spiritual comfort to those who are listening." - Josh Wright (concert pianist and online piano teacher)

A Poor Wayfaring Man Of Grief

Hymn arrangement of Now Let Us Rejoice. Recorded this one on my mission!

Now Let Us Rejoice

When Faith Steps In-The Mckameys

Oya was raised in the church and understands that God comes first. On this project and all her projects Oya pays tribute to God that gave her life and the matriarch of her family. Peace in the Valley was her great grandmother’s favorite song. Her grandmother and mother carried this song to her and she decided to pay tribute on her project to them with "Peace in the Valley."

This song means so much to her and has lifted so many people around the nation when she sings it live. It takes people back to the real traditional Gospel music. It brings back memories and heartfelt connection to God and family.
