A collection of folk hymns and sacred texts set to secular tunes taken from tune books with perhaps some alterations for modern use. It contains a bibliography, first-line index, notes on each tune, and additional data on composers and authors. A valuable tool in the study of hymnology.

This songbook features three timeless hymns arranged for piano solo, perfect for a variety of worship settings. It includes: My Shepherd Will Supply My Need ? There's a Land That Is Fairer Than Day ? Oh, When Shall I See Jesus.

With this collection of 26 folk hymns, author Peter Irvine brings shape-note music into the home, and provides adaptable music for a variety of instrumental ensembles. This format allows for instruments such as the mountain dulcimer, Native American or transverse flute, penny whistle, fiddle, mandolin, guitar, and so forth. Anyone can play shape-note music, even when Sacred Harp gatherings or "singings" are not easily accessible.The hymns in this collection are drawn from various classic shape-note sources like Southern Harmony (1835) and The Sacred Harp (1844). Presented in lead-sheet format (melody, chords, and lyrics), and written in keys accessible to all C instruments and several D instruments such as the penny whistle and mountain dulcimer, the material offers plenty of arrangements. Hymns can be sung by a soloist, in unison by a small group with chordal accompaniment, or a mixed ensemble.
