“Are You Washed in the Blood? - Intermediate Piano” is a two-page hymn arrangement by Michael Kravchuk. The piece presents the well-known gospel hymn in a clear intermediate piano texture, with the melody supported by steady left-hand harmony and simple chordal patterns. The arrangement keeps the direct, energetic character of the hymn while making the piano writing fuller than a beginner setting, using repeated rhythmic figures, hand coordination, and a clear verse-style form.
Measures 1–12 introduce the first large statement of the hymn. The right hand carries the main melody in a clear, singable shape, while the left hand supports with steady harmonic movement underneath. The texture is straightforward and hymn-like, allowing the tune to stay prominent while the accompaniment gives the arrangement a fuller piano sound.
Measures 13–23 continue the hymn with more motion and a slightly broader texture. The melody remains easy to recognize, but the hands become more active as the arrangement moves through the next phrase. The left hand continues to anchor the harmony, while the right hand shapes the tune above it with simple but confident melodic movement.
Measures 24–30 bring the piece toward its final section. The harmony and rhythmic motion continue in the same direct gospel-hymn style, giving the arrangement a steady sense of forward drive. The writing remains practical for intermediate players, with the main challenge coming from keeping the melody clear while both hands stay coordinated.
Measures 31–34 close the arrangement with a clear final cadence. The melody settles into the ending phrase while the accompaniment supports the final resolution. The close feels firm and hymn-like rather than decorative, matching the strong congregational character of the original song.
Interesting fact: “Are You Washed in the Blood?” was written by Elisha A. Hoffman in the late 19th century and became one of the best-known gospel hymns in American evangelical singing. Its repeated question-and-answer style makes it especially memorable in congregational settings, revival meetings, hymn recordings, and gospel performances.
