New to this board. I am looking for a book of clarinet and piano arrangements that I had back in the seventies or early 80's. The only thing I can remember about it was that they were nice arrangements and one of the songs was "Since Jesus came into my Heart". I now not much to go on, but maybe someone remembers it or has it.
Thanks
Tony

Check with sheetmusicplus.com, I've found a number of good arrangements from them.

As a church musician, I found that the hymn arrangements for clarinet back in the late 70s and early 80s were limited. Today, there are more arrangments out there. (Bob Jones publishes some nice ones.)
Really, though, if you can get an accompanist who is flexible enough to do a little improvisation, you can probably do your own arrangements per your own interpretation.
If you're open to some more contemporary praise and worship songs, there are some nice arrangements out there and some come with accompaniment CDs. This definitely works in many worship settings...if you have a good sound system for the playback.

What Claire Annette said. I've accompanied many solo instruments on organ simply by figuring out the chord structure of the piece and then improvising a continuo--same as one would do on piano when 'comping a jazz soloist. Find music you love, and a keyboardist that you click with--you'll be good to go.

Thanks to you all for your responses. I have plenty of things to play in church. I am just looking for a particular book of arrangements that I had at that time and wondering if anyone here remembers that book.

I'd love suggestions for hymh sheet music as well. I have an excellent accompanist (organ or piano) but she doesn't do improv. My church is marginally open to contemporary music but it needs to be instrumental as we don't have the technology for pre-recorded accompaniments. It probably wouldn't fly anyways.
