Listen to Lord's Day Meditations (Piano CD in progress)
In 1975 I started taking piano lessons and by the time I grew whiskers I had played a piano transcription of the "Hallelujah Chorus" and accompanied the Sr. High choir for the school Christmas program. These ivories have been a life-long companion.

I've done a lot of different things in the area of music since then. Singing, songwriting, choral conducting and that sort of thing, but I suppose it’s fitting that I finally go back to where it all began and record a collection of just-piano arrangements of some of our dearest-loved hymns. (Especially for you, Mom.)
I am nearly finished with the first volume of "Lord's Day Meditations." As long as I am able to, I plan to continue making hymn arrangements and recording them in a multi-volume CD set and making them available as they are recorded on www.NathanPierpont.com.
Let me know what your favorite hymn is and maybe I'll be able to include it in a future volume of "Lord's Day Meditations.".
