Harmonie

In all too many churches, the pianist is locked into a rotation of favorite hymns or praise & worship songs. Playing them repeatedly is monotonous for both the player and the congregation! This book was created to give church pianists options, and let them add color and freshness to familiar melodies. Includes: 12 traditional harmonizations of familiar melodies (seasonal & non-seasonal); 12 new arrangements of the same songs featuring altered chords (mostly jazz harmonies); and a Cool Chords section featuring 3 chords from each arrangement.

Following the style of the popular piano folio Gospel Improv comes the latest signature collection for solo pianists: Hymprov - Contemporary Improvisations for Solo Piano. This dynamic piano folio features 12 tasteful contemporary arrangements of classic hymns appropriate for any contemporary or blended worship setting. Arranged by talented veteran Larry Dalton at the medium difficult level, the addition of chord symbols and performance notes will help pianists to better understand the harmonic structure of each arrangement. Specific insights into the art of improvisation are also included for pianists wanting to incorporate fresh, new harmonies into their playing.
