For years, Mark Hayes has provided church pianists with brilliant arrangements of hymns, suitable for preludes, offertories and concert solos. Now he turns his attention to another practical need: inventive harmonizations to enhance the accompaniment of congregational singing. Mark has chosen 50 of the most popular hymns – suitable for general worship throughout the year – and re-harmonized them in his unique style. They are presented in a spiral-bound format for easy use next to a hymnal on your piano’s music rack. As an added bonus, a CD-ROM is included, containing PDFs of all the hymns in multiple keys to match the most commonly used hymnals. You can print these files to insert in your own “service notebook” or however you please. This practical volume will add new freshness to your hymn accompaniments. LEVEL: Easy to Moderate
