Hi Craig, Your Piece, Joyful Rest is beautiful. I am a band director and freelance trumpeter from Louisville Kentucky. I stumbled on your site looking for various versions of Be Thou My Vision, which I might add, is also done very well. You described it well, simple with some interesting harmony changes. The harmony in the orginal hymnal is lacking the contempory harmonies which I feel do so much more for the melody.
I am arranging it as a choral to play for my middle school band and needed some inspiration and that's exactly what your piano arrangement did for me.
