Kelly Clark-Parkinson has chosen a number of traditional and religious tunes, and she works the material from the inside, never overshadowing the melodies but instead seeking their highest, purest form. Ms. Clark-Parkinson is a tremendous instrumentalist. Here, she serves the material, letting the beauty of the melodies she has chosen take the forefront, rather than spoiling the mood with unnecessary pyrotechnics and flourishes (of which she would certainly be more than capable.) The arrangements aren’t simple or dumbed-down, they are just right.

How Sweet the Sound – Complete PDF Book
Violinists are often pressed into service with short notice, without the benefit of accompaniment. Sensing a need to share my music in such settings, I arranged Amazing Grace for solo violin. That was the beginning of this project. I have since arranged several familiar sacred pieces which I feel will resonate with a variety of listeners.
TRACK LISTING:
01. Amazing Grace 02. How Long O Lord 03. Come Thou Fount / If You Could Hie to Kolob 04. Love at Home 05. O My Father / A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief 06. Abide with Me Tis’ Eventide 07. America the Beautiful 08. Lead Kindly Light 09. Silent Night 10. God Be with You 11. Come, Come Ye Saints

HOW SWEET THE SOUND – Kelly Clark Parkinson, violinist
“In the four decades that I’ve been a violinist, I have played in many traditional venues and some surprising ones: the ancient ruins of an old Roman amphitheater, a hayfield in Central Utah, a grove of trees in western Canada. I arranged ‘Amazing Grace’ and ‘Abide With Me’ for solo violin because I wanted to be able to play for people in any situation without needing accompaniment. I’ve known for some time that people have a strong emotional attachment to hymns—it is the music they grew up with and associate with spiritual experiences. I received so much positive feedback to these arrangements that I considered writing more, and Kelly Richardson—a local composer and lover of the arts—convinced me to arrange a collection of hymns and make them available to other violinists. I realized he was right. I had used my two humble arrangements so extensively that I wrote nine more. I hope other violinists find them just as useful and inspiring as I have.”
