recommended by Caryn G. and Judy S., Sacred Keyboard Music Specialists

Hymns & Spiritual Songs by James Pethel and Stan Pethel
This collection features four hymns from the rich hymn tradition and six much loved African American spirituals. Styles vary from the stately Church’s One Foundation to the reflective Give Me Jesus. The difficulty level is intermediate and accessible to most performers. Titles include: “The Church’s One Foundation,” “There Is a Balm in Gilead,” “For the Beauty of the Earth,” “Give Me Jesus,” “Steal Away,” “The First Noel,” “Rise Up, Shepherd, and Follow,” “Lord, I Want to Be a Christian,” “Morning Has Broken,” and “Were You There?”

Scriptural Inspirations by Lyndell Leatherman
This volume of service music for piano and organ draws on verses from scripture to set the mood and character of each work. The composer suggests using them not only as service music but also possibly as background to dramatic readings. These sensitive duets are sure to emphasize and punctuate the liturgy in distinctive and powerful ways. Titles include: “Acclamation,” “A Solemn Interlude,” “On Wings of Song,” “O Magnify the Lord,” “The Path of the Righteous,” “Pastorale,” “Ascription,” and “Inhabitation.”
