SIMPLY CURRY releases!
I am pleased to announce the publication of my latest collection of hymn arrangements, entitled, Simply Curry. This is a real change of pace from my other collections of jazz-based hymn arrangements for at least 3 reasons: 1) All 7 arrangements are slow and quiet in tone, 2) they are not really jazzy (of course, I have to throw a jazz chord in every ONCE in a while, but no one would confuse these with jazz, for certain), and 3) they are by far the simplest arrangements I've published (hence, the title...).

I don't know that I'm particularly good at describing my own writing so here's what the Lorenz website has to say about the collection:
Level 2 • Nationally known arranger Craig Curry shows his introspective side in his first keyboard collection for Lorenz. Craig has chosen songs of meditation such as “Abide With Me,” “Day by Day,” and “Be Still, My Soul,” and enhanced them with his gift for harmony and keyboard color. The arrangements are written at an accessible level, but have all the hallmarks of Craig’s creativity and skill. Ideal for quiet preludes, offertories, and communion services, “Simply Curry” is a book that you will draw from again and again.
For those interested, here's a link to an mp3 of "Day by Day" (beautifully played by Larry Shackley, Lorenz's keyboard editor).
There's more info on the book at the "piano" section of my site, and it's available for purchase from my online store, from any print music retailer, or directly from Lorenz at lorenz.com.
