Great Hymns (Flute/Oboe/Violin) (Instrumental Solos for Worship). Arranged by James Curnow. For flute (oboe or violin). Curnow Play-Along Book. Christian, Hymns, Worship and Play Along. Grade 3-4. Instrumental solo book and accompaniment CD. 12 pages. Curnow Music #035400. Published by Curnow Music (HL.44003648).

ISBN 904310972X. Christian, Hymns, Worship and Play Along. 9x12 inches.

The inspiring sounds of 10 best-loved hymns are yours for the playing in James Curnow's GREAT HYMNS books with CD accompaniment. The included CD allows a soloist to be more fully prepared for performance than was sometimes possible in the past. Perhaps you've been in the situation where the soloist and the accompanist have almost no time to rehearse together. They may have to do their only combined rehearsal shortly before the worship service begins. Until the advent of play-along CDs, soloists sometimes didn't even have a rough idea of what the accompaniment would sound like until it was almost time to go on stage. Judicious use of the play-along CD can help to solve problems caused by today's busy schedules, even if you don't actually use the CD in the performance. Occasionally though, a qualified accompanist is just not available. The high fidelity CD recording means that the music can still go on, whether you have an accompanist up to the task or not. These sacred hymns are an important part of our rich cultural heritage and, as such, are appropriate for almost any venue. Every church and school will find GREAT HYMNS to be a valuable and enduring asset.

Great Hymns ( Flute/Oboe)

Just purchased this book and I am very pleased with the contents. I am especially happy with the CD that comes with it. The music is upbeat and modern and will appeal to most age groups.

Great for piccolo

I have used 2-3 pieces from this collection for playing at weddings (worked well). More recently, I became more serious about playing piccolo, and found that almost all of the pieces from this book work very well on the piccolo (especially the ones that some have said sounded more appropriate...

No accompaniment score

I was expecting an accompaniment score along with the CD. Alas, only the flute score arrived. Also, the score has too many rest measures where the soloist would just be standing there in front of the congregation while the CD plays. I couldn't find too many songs appropriate for a...

Unusual arrangements

The arrangements seem more suitable for horns than for strings.

Nice Recording

I have a degree in music, and I didn't want something that sounded like a beginner's piece, but I didn't want to work that hard on a church special either. I needed a CD accompaniment, as the pianist at our church isn't very good. I love that the recording uses...
