Thus Sings My Soul

Description

Exquisite hymn arrangements for the hammered dulcimer player. Lucille’s penciled notation drafts (composed from 1980 to 1998) made reality. These hymn arrangements are not only great to play: for the intentional dulcimer player, they shed insight on how to arrange tunes for solo hammered dulcimer as approached by a master of the craft of sustain. Each solo runs 3-4 pages in length and is note for note as on the CD.

Selections include: Sweet Hour of Prayer (click here to view an excerpt) * Stand Up for Jesus (click here to view an excerpt; comes with a separate guitar part) * How Great Thou Art * Wondrous Love * Amazing Grace * Fisher’s Hornpipe (with guitar chords) * Standing on the Promises (a duet for hammered dulcimer and diatonic autoharp). A substantial introductory section offers handy learning tips for each piece, and more. 54 pages, with comb binding.
