Product Description
This is the fifth collection in a group of 5 collections of hymns, gospel songs and Christmas carols that, when taken together, form a wonderful Hymnal containing many of the greatest Christian songs of the last several hundred years. It took me about a year to gather them and arrange them into the form that they have now taken. I'll have to admit, I have chosen my favorites to include in this collection. What a blessed year that was! I have coded the titles so that you will be able to find them on the website. In the titles, RC stands for Repertoire Collection; H1 stands for the first collection in the group, followed by the rest of them:
H2 H3, etc. Here are the titles:
RC-H1 - Majestic Hymns of Faith
RC-H2 - Great Hymns of Faith
RC-H3 - Gospel Songs and Spirituals
RC-H4 - Bible Songs for Kids
RC-H5 - Classic Christmas Carols
These collections are all notated as key maps.They are lead sheets with the first verse of the song text and the melody in the right hand. Standard chord symbols along with the notes for the chords are shown for in the left hand. You will find the table of contents for each collection on the second page of the collection.
Series 5FC - Five Finger Positions Colored. To make fingering of melodies easy to follow, each 5-finger group begins with a finger number and colored notes. Then successive 5-fingered groups are identified with contrasting colored notes. Notes not belonging in a 5-fingered group are white. (version code 5FC)
