Psalm 90:1-2
1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. 2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting thou art God.
Appalachian Reverie is a piano solo written by Sarah Louise Dittenhaver. My piano teacher, Ruby, assigned it to me when I was in eighth grade and I ended up taking it to piano contest. It has always been a favorite piece of mine and I continue to play it this many years later, especially when I need something calming to my soul. Sarah did such an excellent job bringing the beauty, tranquillity, and power of the mountains into her song. May it bring you joy and peace! Maybe you can make a trip the the mountains in the near future…
My videos are posted on the website Rumble and I will share links to them from time to time. My advancing age (!!!) is making me think that I need to record some piano pieces for posterity. Years ago I made a tape for the church to sell to raise money for new choir robes. That certainly needs to be digitized since it is on cassette. Other than that, I have made very few recordings. We will see if it happens!
You have such a gift! The video stopped before the end but you calmed me today. I’ve been on high alert for several days and don’t know why. Love you.
OK it was my phone I got to hear it all. Beautiful
I’m glad you took the time to listen!
Forever grateful you passed this piece on to me. It is also my go-to piece to calm the soul. 💗
It is wonderful, isn’t it? I’m afraid I wasn’t too creative in what I had you study. My repertoire isn’t that wide. You were my dream student and now it is so fun to work with you and your students!
Beautiful. I so miss hearing you play every Sunday. Those were such good times.
I was thinking just recently about all of the wonderful music we made together. I will always cherish it. We need to get together and play!
Hi! I would love to locate the sheet music for my sister as a special surprise. She played this song when she was younger. After our mom died, we looked for this piece among her collection but could not locate it. Do you have any idea where this can be purchased?
I do not think it is in print any longer, but it is not public domain yet. I can share mine. Would you go to the Contact button and leave me an e-mail address?
