I totally agree with the other previous reviews. This music is interesting and lovely, with the flowing quality I enjoy. Each hymn arrangement is very accessible to an intermediate pianist, though labeled early advanced. For someone playing at church on a regular basis, it is so good to be able to pick up a new book and, with just a few short practice sessions, use almost every piece immediately. (P.S. I am really thankful to those who review the piano and organ books they purchase. It is an enormous help to those of us who are church musicians, and who seek new music constantly.)
wonderful book with easy pieces for an intermediate pianist. I am early advanced and was able to play about 1/2 of the songs without any really practice. So if you want a quick song for Sunday this is the book. And although these arrangements are more simplistic at times, they still are gorgeous! You will not be dissappointed with this!
You will love this book! The arrangements are fabulous and I get compliments each time I use Melody Bober arrangements.
I'm a beginner intermediate and this book is perfect. It sounds much harder then the songs actually are. They have a beautiful flow and they don't all sound the same as some arrangements can. GREAT book!
I have already used these for Communion music and they are very nicely written and put together. They can be used either together or singly and will work very nicely for times when I would rather play piano than organ.
This book has most of my favorite hymns. Each arrangement is very artistic. Some are easier to sight-read than others. I plan to use all of the songs for the pianist at my wedding. Some songs are bouncy and some slower. It's a good mix of styles.
I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Ms. Bober has quite a few books of sacred music. I've really enjoyed working on these pieces and have been challenged by them. So grateful to have found Ms. Bober as a composer & arranger.
great product. thank you very much. tha arrangements are easy yet not too simple. they are great for meditation time as pre service music or during the offering.
