My piano partner and I have really enjoyed playing Mark's works for two pianos and also piano/organ duos.  Our church, Clear Lake Presbyterian, is fortunate to have two fine grand pianos and we use them a lot in our services. We met Mark at one of his workshops here in Clear Lake. I picked up the "Well-Tempered Jazz" book and just love the arrangements! I also purchased a number of other exciting books and the Wedding music set. Mark is the best arranger/composer in the business today

I was introduced to your solo collection (7 Psalms & Spirituals) three years ago when I was invited to sing a recital for a friends church in Philadelphia.  I was so inspired with your arrangements that I have used three more of your collection books for my music ministry to Senior Communities and Nursing homes in my area.  Your music and accompaniment CD's are a blessing for me and my audiences and I  thank you. I am looking forward to meeting you at the Volkwein's Choral Concert in PGH./August 07.

I have enjoyed presenting or just playing all of your books for some time
now, but none to compare with "Gospel Classics". What an inspired work of
art. Thank you for making these old classics come back with new life.
The Lord is truly using you in this great work. A "Gospel Classics II"
would be a welcomed pleasure. Enjoyed your work in the Baylor Alleluia
conference in 2005. God Bless You.

Mark, I have most of your books and I love them all! Your Well-Tempered Jazz is terrific and is so much fun with the rhythm section and guitars. I would love to see you do more multiple-keyboard arrangements or keyboard and synthesizer arrangements. God bless you!

(S.A. Radvanyi)

Thank-you so much for your inspirational and enjoyable arrangements of spirituals. My congregation always loves when I sing one of your arrangements. It's wonderful that trained singers can have something to sing for church that the congregation can appreciate and enjoy as well.

(Karen Putnam)

I have only 2 of your books. I have played for church many years and really love your arrangements. Thanks to God for your talent.

(Alan Glazner)

Mark, Your arrangement of Calvary's Love is one of the greatest pieces of music our choir here at Grace Baptist Church has done. In addition, I highly recommend SING JOY and 3 FESTIVE CAROLS.

(Loretta Muralt Holstein)

Thank you so much for your wonderful arrangements. I am on staff at Beautiful Savior Lutheran church in Portland, OR, and your music is such a blessing to us. Your piano arrangements adapt easily to the organ. Your "I'll Fly Away" arrangement in GOSPEL CLASSICS is so much fun. I play at many funeral homes in the area and have used that on the organ and also on the piano. People love it! And on an organ with the honky tonk piano, bass guitar, etc. it really is fun!
God bless you and may He continue to inspire you with more new ideas and arrangements.

(Anne Katherine Ragsdale)

Love your music! I use it frequently in our church worship services.

(Michael F.O'Neill)

Praise god for this lovely music.

(Amanda Peck)

Mark - I am a young church pianist for a small mission church in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. I absolutely love your solo piano arrangements! I must have about 10 of your books, including Gospel Classics, all of the Lord Be Glorified books, and some of the Well Tempered Books, plus more. You are a gift from God to someone like me who has very little experience. My favorite arrangements are How Great Thou Art and It Is Well With My Soul. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Keep up this great resource

I've been a church musician for 40 years, and I can truthfully say that I have never enjoyed playing any music more than I enjoy playing your music. Not only do I enjoy it, my congregations love it. Your anthem arrangements are marvelous and are enjoyed by my choir. It is the best of all worlds - playing and singing and listening. I look forward to your next publications.

(Antonio Bernard)

fantastic place, beautiful, sunny, i love it! I will come back....

(Margery Johnson)

I love the CD - Music for Madie - presented by the Manchester, MO Choir. Your arrangements of Holy, Holy, Holy, Jesus Love of My Soul, and the best---I Want Jesus To Walk With Me are absolutely beautiful. I play it often. It is a huge choir, and I enjoy the whole thing. Thanks to you ---and all the choir members, conductor, and orchestra.

(Arlene Stebbins)

Thank you so much for your beautiful piano arrangements. I cannot even begin to tell you what a blessing they are for my congregation and myself. God has blessed you and we are thankful you have chosen to share that blessing with us.

(Elizabeth Taylor)

How wonderful to meet you and sing under your direction this last Sunday at Memorial Drive UMC. It was an experience I will keep close to my heart for a very long time. I have printed the words to "Prayer of Being" and tacked it to my wall so I can be reminded every morning of God in me. Thank you thank you thank you. From your sparkling high "c"

(Shelby)

I played "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho" for the talent show at my school last year (I'm 14) and everybody loved it. Thanks for writing awesome piano music.


(Ed Hyland)

For a recent worship service I sang "Safe Within Your Arms" for several in our church family with significant health challenges. I've always loved your music, particularly the hymn arrangements, but received many comments on this unfamiliar song. What a powerful blessing of promise to many of us! Thanks for your ministry.

(Benni Adkins)

Just wanted to let you know I enjoyed meeting you after the service at St. James in Jenks. The music was so moving and I was truly blessed by it all. I know a lot of those people in the choir and they sounded like professionals!! I can't wait to "try my hands" at "How Great Thou Art." Thanks again for coming to St. James. Hopefully, my little church will reap the benefits as well.

(Jeffrey L. Claflin)

I attended the choral workshop in Myerstown, PA yesterday (my first) and was thrilled. I have recently taken an organist position in suburban Phila.,after a 30 year absence, and attended this event with the Director of Music Ministries, David Mangham. It was fabulous sitting in the middle of 400 trained church musicians sight-reading these anthems, and I was especially moved by the many Mark Hayes arrangements,as well as his own compositions.Beautiful! Many thanks for a wonderful day.

(Gabriella)

I enjoyed looking around your web site. It is very well done.

(Linda)

Nice and very interesting site.

(Linda Flanary)

Mark, you are the greatest ever!! I am playing at a concert Sunday afternoon here in Paris, TX and I will be playing your gorgeous arrangement of "How Great Thou Art" for the Glory of God!!!! I just can't wait until you come out with another piano solo book -- I'm pretty sure I have all of them in my collection through the years. I play duo-pianos with my music teacher at Paris Junior College every year. Wish you would arrange some beautiful two-piano pieces. That would be great fun!! Keep up the wonderful work and God Bless You.

(Tom Whitcombe)

I really enjoy using your choral compositions with my church choir. You are one of a very few composers/arrangers that I trust completely. Thank you for the intergrity-filled music.
P.S. my wife feels the same way about your keyboard compositions.

(MargeryJohnson)

I am still playing all of your lovely music Mark. Your Interludes have made a hit with me!!!!! Keep up the great work.

(Sandy Durham)

Hi Mark, Love playing your music. I have all your books & watch for more! Just wanted to let you know that when I was caring for my mother, who was terminal with cancer, at my home, she loved to hear me play your music. Her favorite was How Great Thou Art. It was so moving that my sister would break out in tears and leave the room. Your music has comforted and touched many. Thank you.

(Ebenézer Alves)

Suas músicas, Mark Hayes, são fabulosas e cantáveis.
Parabéns pelo seu trabalho.

(John Tiffin)

Enthusiastic fan of your work. Our organist recently brought back some of your new music, and we are beginning to use some of it in service, Piano/Synth/Organ. The congregation cannot get enough of it. Thank you greatly!

(Megan)

Hi. I am playing your song You Are My All In All in a competition. I really enjoy it. Keep up the good work

I would like to say how your music spoke to my heart. I am a Salvation Army officer and have had some challenging times the last few months. During some very dark times I would come home and quietly play your arrangements, just for me. I want you to know that God the Holy Spirit came and healed my heart as I played. I thank you for sharing your gift. Many blessings on you!
