John has written a new book which provides nine hundred songs on Biblical texts, including all texts in the Revised Common Lectionary. This two-volume resource features Psalm settings, solos, anthems, ballads, liturgical songs, children’s songs, carols, canons, and coritos, written to tunes from 76 different countries, along with 155 original Ylvisaker compositions.
Volume I includes 500 songs, plus liturgical material. These songs contain the majority of the lectionary based texts.
Volume II features all the Psalms, a wealth of carols and children’s music.
Indexes for Volume II only:
- Alphabetical Index of Songs
- Alphabetical Psalm Index
- Solos and Anthems Index
- Tune TItle Index
Indexes for both volumes:
- Lectionary Index
- Scriptural Reference Index
- Topical/Thematic Index
- Music Style Index
- Ballads Index
- Unaccompanied Singing Index
Both volumes feature:
- Full accompaniments for all songs (special arrangements follow the “standard” version of various songs)
- An 8″ x 10″ format that is easy to read
- A stitched binding that holds pages securely (the pages can be worked so the book will lay flat on a music rack)
