“I Know That My Redeemer Lives (Intermediate Piano)” is a short hymn arrangement based on the familiar Easter hymn tune by John Hatton. This version is written in D major and 4/4, with a clear hymn-like melody supported by a fuller intermediate piano texture. The arrangement uses mostly steady quarter-note and half-note motion, with occasional eighth-note movement in the accompaniment to give the music more flow. The right hand often carries the main melody in chordal writing, while the left hand supports it with bass notes, passing motion, and simple harmonic movement.

Measures 1–4 introduce the opening phrase of the hymn. The right hand presents the melody in a clear, chord-supported texture, while the left hand moves through bass notes and a short descending eighth-note figure. The phrase has a direct, confident sound that fits the resurrection text of the hymn.

Measures 5–8 continue the first half of the tune. The right hand keeps the melody mostly in the upper voice, with simple harmony underneath. The left hand supports the phrase with longer bass notes and small moving figures, giving the section a steady and balanced hymn style.

Measures 9–12 begin the second half of the arrangement. The melody continues in the right hand, while the left hand adds stepwise bass motion and supporting harmony. A tied note in the right hand helps connect the phrase smoothly into the next measure.

Measures 13–16 bring back the opening melodic idea and lead to the final cadence. The right hand returns to the familiar phrase shape from the beginning, while the left hand supports the closing harmony with simple bass movement. The final measures settle into a clear D major ending, giving the arrangement a firm and confident close.

Interesting fact: “I Know That My Redeemer Lives” is often associated with Easter and the Resurrection of Christ. The text is by Samuel Medley, and the hymn is commonly sung to the tune DUKE STREET, composed by John Hatton, whose name appears on this arrangement.
