Product Description
Heres a terrific
collection of sixty of the best-loved hymns ever composed. The hymns are scored
in four parts and could be used with virtually any combination of conventional
wind instruments. They are presented in a set of three books and include full four-part
instrumental scores plus separate parts in a variety of useful transpositions.
Parts 1 and 2 (soprano
and alto) are provided in B flat, E flat and C (8ve higher than concert);
Part 3 (tenor) in B flat (9th above concert), E flat, F and C
(bass clef) and Part 4 (bass) in B flat, E flat and C. Theres also an
optional but useful simplified keyboard part intended for less
experienced keyboard players. The left hand plays only the bass part most of
the time, with the right hand part kept as simple as possible. It could be used
as the basis of an accompaniment and means that you can use the arrangements as
solos, duets or trios. The piano part too
means that you can use the arrangements as solos, duets or trios.
These
arrangements are intended either as stand-alone pieces that could be used as
interludes in a service, or they could be used to accompany solo, choral or
congregational singing. This is essential music for schools and many churches
and contains probably all the hymns youll ever need. The entire collection of
scores and parts is presented in a single 138-page PDF file for instant download.
