I LOVE HYMNS
...but I always struggled to read 4 parts fast enough
I was never able to read four-part chorales fast enough.
SO, I MADE MY OWN HYMNAL
WITH JUST MELODY AND CHORDS
(and, of course, each hymn also has a Capo key,
since I like to play piano AND guitar)
CAPO
I call it
The Musician's Hymnal*
Melody and Chords
for Piano and Capo Guitar
*previously "The Simple Hymnal"
Features of The Musician's Hymnal:
- Capo Keys for each hymn
- keys lowered to a more comfortable singing range
- chord changes that flow and make musical sense
- hymns chosen based on strong Biblical foundation
- short melodies that function as "intros" and "turn arounds"
- come in coil bound, digital PDF, and elegant hardcover editions

(Hymns A - G)
and see if you like it before you buy it.
- each hymn as a "concert" or "real" key and also a Capo key
- each hymn also has a "intro" or "turn around" melody idea
