In these troubled times, listening to and playing beautiful music helps us stay positive, empathetic and receptive. One of my favorite pieces is the gorgeous [listen:] Aria – Sarabande from Handel’s Triumph of Time and Truth. There is much pain and searching, but ultimately love and hope triumphs. I have adapted this piece for piano in both a short and long form. The first page is the short arrangement, and pages 2-4 contain the full piece.

Those of you who have been following Upper Hands Piano’s blog will notice that I have a new look to my website! It has been quite a laborious experience constructing the new site. I have an aversion to learning computer technology, but I know that it is important for my brain to learn new, difficult tasks, so I have soldiered on and triumphed as well!
Two problems remain:
I had to change my blog address. It is now blog.upperhandspiano.com.
The other problem:
Most of the links from previous blogs no longer work. In the coming weeks I will open each post and reload the links, but if you encounter a problem with a link before I can get to it, please send me an email at UpperHandsPiano@gmail.com and I will send you the sheet music or other link directly. I apologize for this glitch- I didn’t realize when I changed servers that I would lose my blog address.
On the free sheet music page, look through the other piano arrangements and see if there are any additional titles you might like to print as they are only posted for a year. Some favorites that will soon be deleted are Fascination (August) and The Water Is Wide (September). Please let me know hat you think of the new website! Or let me know if you encounter any issues with this blog or features on the site.
May you have a joyful July 4th celebration and enjoy the fruits of summer.
With love and music, Gaili

Thank you, Gaili. Congratulations on the new website! I look forward to your monthly free sheet music. I’m practicing and playing the piano daily. Some days, I will play many of your arrangements and/or play through one of your piano arrangement books. Your gift in creating beautiful arrangements of the world’s most beloved music that one can play personally and professionally ~ for enjoyment, therapy, or for audiences ~ is a present to all of us who have the blessing of your teaching and coaching. Thank you.
With appreciation~
A very happy adult piano student~
