Songs of Comfort and Hope - Medium-low Voice
Vocal Solos for Memorial and Funeral Services
By Mark Hayes

I was browsing for a low voice solo book with songs that I could use for music festival and other music needs. I love these arrangements and getting a cd to listen to them and having the cd the accompaniment broken into segments so you can practice different places. I...

am glad I found this book.

I purchased this book because it had a Mark Hayes arrangement of "His Eye is on the Sparrow". I was not disappointed. The arrangement is beautiful -- best I've ever seen.Each selection in the book is lovely. Some surprised me, like the inclusion of "When the Saints Go Marching...

In" in one of the songs. The pianist/organist who chooses this book will be challenged, but it's worth it! I would recommend the purchase of this book to anyone who sings at funerals or memorials or just at church.

I really like how easy it is to follow this music. I don't play the piano so having the accomp. music is great. I especially like Mark Hayes' style of playing. good purchase

You will enjoy the selection of songs for services or special events.

I am always looking for nice arrangements of classic hymns to sing at our more traditional service at church, and, since I am not a trained musician, I really like books that come with a CD so I can practice along with it as I commute to work. This book...

has lovely arrangements of "It is Well With My Soul", "Amazing Grace", "Day by Day, and "Abide with Me". I sang,"It is Well With My Soul", this morning and you could have heard a pin drop in the service. This song requires a good pianist; however, the others more easy to play. I wish there were more books like this for church vocalists, and that the explanations for these books on this site listed the songs included in the books.
