Casting Crowns (Easy Piano) Review

Casting Crowns [Paperback]
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Prior to buying this book, I had earlier bought a piano score of "Who Am I" from praise-charts, and it was excellent. But the arrangements in this book don't sound like the stuff I heard on the CD, and the score keeps following the melody like a hymn with the chords beneath. Certainly not what I expected. I might as well just play the chords; only the intros sound true to type.

The Very Best of Avalon - Testify to Love (Piano/Vocal/Guitar Artist Songbook) Review

The Very Best of Avalon - Testify to Love [Paperback]
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
A fan of Avalon's contemporary Christian music, I picked this book up, hoping to add some of their songs to my Sunday morning repertoire.This book will function as an adequate lead sheet for a guitarist looking for chords, but is not worth the money if you're hoping to use the piano accompaniments.In every song, the piano part is virtually identical (note-for-note) to the vocal part, with the left hand providing a few chord tones.This results in a pretty boring performance (and lots of rehearsal stress if the singer and pianist are separate people).I wouldn't bother with this one.

Phillips, Craig and Dean - The Ultimate Collection (Piano/Vocal/Guitar Artist Songbook) Review

Phillips, Craig and Dean - The Ultimate Collection [Paperback]
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I help to lead a men's vocal group that sings periodically at our church.I'm always looking for music that we can sing together, and I stumbled upon this resource when I bought the Phillips, Craig, and Dean "Ultimate Collection" CD for my wife.After listening to the album, I thought that we could probably sing some of this stuff, so I purchased this songbook.For the most part, I'm glad that I did.

The arrangements seem to match the PC&D recordings almost completely.The piano arrangements are obviously less elaborate then some of the accompaniment tracks on their album, but the piano parts seem to provide a solid accompaniment for the vocals.They require a competent but not brilliant pianist.

The vocals are relatively straight-forward.Almost every song begins with a solo, then adds another voice (usually above the melody), and eventually adds the third voice (usually below the melody).As one would expect if familiar with PC&D, these parts are really written for three true tenors, especially the top two parts.We had a baritone singing the bottom part, and he could do it, but he was pushing a bit.

During our recent debut with this book, we sang one song as an offertory and used one other song to lead congregational singing, and I anticipate that we'll put it to good use in the future.We received much positive feedback afterwards.

One other comment, if rather inconsequential, is that the binding of the book is really poor, and after using the book for a few days, it was beginning to fall apart.

In any case, if you have three male voices and like Phillips, Craig, and Dean's arrangements and songs, then this is a great resource to use.

Revival in Belfast Songbook Review

Revival in Belfast Songbook [Paperback]
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I ordered this book as a companion for the CD.I was disappointed that the pages are choral size rather than typical folio size;however, the music is well laid out, and the melodies and three-part harmonies are easy to learn.We've performed three songs from the book in different worship settings and haven't seemed to miss the "Celtic" sound prevalent on the CD's.The style and content are not cutting edge, but the lyrics are solid with decent scores that don't need much tweaking for a performance.Some of the songs are older favorites that we've since phased out, but we're looking to add "Revival" to our line-up.Guitar sheets and lyric sheets are included for each song.

Sometimes it is difficult to find a good piano accompaniment to afavorite worship song.I looked all over the web for piano sheet music or a book with "Wonderful, Merciful Savior", and I found the song in this book.This book has well-written piano accompaniments to four of my favorite worship songs, as well as others that I can live without.(But different people like different songs, obviously).I consider the price of the book well spent for those four.

Lord, Be Glorified - Keepsake Edition (Piano Solo) Review

Lord, Be Glorified - Keepsake Edition [Spiral-bound]
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have always been "picky" about the arrangements of Christian hymns and worship songs, because I am a piano arranger myself.This book has THREE things going for it!
1. these are classy, beautifully done arrangements and not disjointed
2. Mark Hayes has just a "hint" of jazz chording which adds to the appeal of these arrangements
3. this particular book is actually three books in one, so you get a terrific bargain!
I use this book with some of my students, as well as for church offertories.This book is at least upper-intermediate to advanced level.I love how he weaves in some classic hymns with newer worship choruses from the last two decades.You will not be disappointed if you purchase this book.
