The Creative Hymnodist: Lent and Easter

These collections of settings of well-known hymn tunes provide simple but creative alternatives to standard hymnal arrangements. Each tune arrangement includes a brief introduction and varied setting and is designed to be played on a keyboard (organ, piano, or electronic) without the need for pedals. Each hymn tune includes instrumental melody and descant parts for both C and B-flat instruments. Keyboard and instrumental parts are purposely simple to encourage beginning or inexperienced players. More skillful players will welcome these settings as music that can be prepared on short notice. Tunes include:
