Contemporary worship songs have become integrated into traditional worship, and here’s a “second serving” of the skillful and tasteful blending of more popular worship songs with hymns for the organ. Titles include: “Awesome God (with All Glory, Laud, and Honor),” “Because He Lives (with Blessed Assurance),” “Before the Throne of God Above (with Great Is Thy Faithfulness),” “Blessed Be Your Name (with In Heavenly Love Abiding),” “El Shaddai (with What a Friend We Have in Jesus),” “How Deep the Father’s Love for Us (with And Can It Be),” “I Could Sing of Your Love Forever (with When In Our Music God Is Glorified),” “Open the Eyes of My Heart (with O Worship the King),” “10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord) (with How Great Thou Art),” and “What a Beautiful Name (with Glorious Is Thy Name).”
Hymns, Pipes & Praise arr. Anna Laura Page
Ten medleys of hymns blended with praise songs very nicely arranged for organ. Titles include: “Amazing Grace (with Amazing Grace My Chains Are Gone),” “Holy Is the Lord (with Lord, I Lift Your Name on High),” “My Jesus, How I Love Thee (with I Love You, Lord),” “How Great Thou Art (with How Great Is Our God),” “Fairest Lord Jesus (with As the Deer),” “No, Not One! (with Shout to the Lord),” “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross (with There Is a Redeemer),” “O Worship the King (with Here I Am to Worship),” “Precious Lord, Take My Hand (with In Christ Alone),” and “Holy, Holy, Holy (with Holy Is the Lord).”
Hymns, Pipes & Classics arr. Anna Laura Page
Ten medleys of hymns blended with classic works by Bach, Handel, Mendelssohn and Mozart. Titles include: “Ash Grove (with Handel’s Thanks Be to God),” “Hyfrydol (with He Shall Feed His Flock),” “Gentle Mary Laid Her Child (with Sheep May Safely Graze),” “Infant Holy (with Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring),” “Fairest Lord Jesus (with Bach’s My Heart is Ever Faithful),” “Sweet Hour of Prayer (with Nocturne),” “My Faith Looks Up to Thee (with Ave Verum),” “St. Agnes (with Mendelssohn’s If With All Your Hearts from Elijah),” “Hanson Place (with Prelude in C Major by Bach),” and “Lancashire (with Allitsen’s The Lord Is My Light).”
The King of Heaven arr. Anna Laura Page
All five hymn tunes included in have one theme: Praise to God, the Father. These settings will offer great ideas to organists in planning service music, including preludes, postludes, and ideas for hymn introductions, alternate hymn harmonizations, and codas appropriate for congregational singing. Titles include: “I’ll Praise My Maker,” “Praise the Lord! Ye Heavens Adore Him,” “O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing,” “Praise the Lord Who Reigns Above,” and “Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven.”
I Will Ever Sing to Thee arr. Anna Laura Page
Anna Laura Page has created eight accessible arrangements of familiar hymn tunes, each primarily associated with a text related to the theme of music itself or singing. These useful pieces make excellent voluntaries throughout the church year and will be especially welcome for festival services that involve a musical focus. Titles include: “Amazing Grace,” “When in Our Music God Is Glorified,” “Fill the Earth with Music,” “How Can I Keep from Singing?,” “I Will Sing of My Redeemer,” “Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above,” “Oh, for a Thousand Tongues to Sing,” and “When the Morning Stars Together.”
And Through Eternity I’ll Sing On arr. Anna Laura Page
From the creative spirit of Anna Laura Page comes this volume of hymn tune settings that resonate with themes most deeply felt during the Lenten and Holy Week seasons: grief, suffering, repentance, prayer, and contrition. Each of these nine spirituals is a masterpiece in miniature, drawing us all closer to the cross of Christ at this most sacred time of year. Titles include: “There Is a Balm in Gilead,” “What Wondrous Love Is This,” “Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?,” “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child,” “My Lord, What a Morning,” “Surely He Died on Calvary,” “Jesus Walked This Lonesome Valley,” “He Never Said a Mumbalin’ Word,” and “I Am a Poor, Wayfaring Stranger.”
