John Ylvisaker

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)

Arrangements of John’s music by, and available through, other parties.
