One hundred hymn tunes in lead sheet format, edited for both lever and pedal harp. The explanations are easily understandable and the page setup is very readable. This book is valuable to any church musician and anyone who has reason to play hymns. It works well for solo, and if you share a music stand with a flutist, for example, they can play the melody while you play chords. An excellent and resourceful book.
Tunes are organized according to five different categories of music composition. Accompanying text gives a complete explanation of these categories with performance suggestions. This collection contains four indexes for easy reference according to: (1) Hymn tune; (2) First line of text; (3) Key signature; and, (4) musical category according to text instructions. 126 pages including text.
