Instrumental Praise Volume 1: Christmas - Paul Hughes

Many churches have a number of musicians within their congregations, but due to a lack of time and resources it is often difficult to provide opportunities for them to unite in utilising their musical skills to support their congregations in sung worship. Instrumental Praise is a new series of publications that provides flexible arrangements of well-known hymns and songs that will work with practically any group of instruments and can be used weekly or for special seasonal services.The book contains scores of all the hymns and songs, whilst the accompanying CD-ROM provides an extensive range of instrumental parts to print out for the musicians.This unique collection will provide churches with everything they need to develop instrumental ensembles for accompanying and supporting the congregation in their singing.Volume one contains 20 favourite Christmas carols and songs, making it suitable for Carol Service, Crib Service and other seasonal services.Contents:Away in a mangerCome and join the celebrationGo, tell it on the mountainGod of God, the uncreatedGod, whose love is everywhereHark! the herald angels singIt came upon the midnight clearJoy has dawnedJoy to the worldLittle donkeyMary had a babyO come, all ye faithfulO come, O come EmmanuelO little town of BethlehemOnce in royal David's CitySee, amid the winter's snowSee him lying on a bed of strawSilent nightThe Virgin Mary had a baby boyWhile shepherds watched
