This is a collection of traditional hymns in a practical format, with chsord symbols and in manageable keys. All of the hymns (apart from Parry's original version of 'Jerusalem' for voice and piano, provided as an appendix) are harmonised simply in four parts for choirs (or instrumentalists) to perform with a minimum of rehearsal. They are notated in closed score on two staves, so they can be easily played on the piano or organ. In addition, chord symbols are given for guitarists and keyboard players who prefer reading chords and melody. The words for all the verses are printed as underlay, rather than block text, as this is easier to read, especially for less experienced choral singers. Apart from 'Jerusalem', all of the hymns are printed on a single page, so there is no need for page turns. The keys are chosen, and transposed where necessary, so that no key signature has more than three flats or sharps, and to provide comfortable ranges for most singers.

One of the most iconic hymns of Christmas arranged by American composer James Nathaniel Holland and expanded with an original new chorus and new text by him. This arrangement/new work contains both traditional melodies (Flow Gently and Away in a Manger). Here presented for soloist (or solo treble instrument in C) SATB choir and full orchestra. A meandering string counter-melody accompanies close choir harmonies and a simple beautiful traditional melody. Sentimental, quiet perfect for choir boy soloist or perhaps children's choir. Intermediate level. Full score in concert pitch and individual parts including vocal parts included. Versatile enough to be used with the other arrangements in this key. Instr: fl12, ob, eh, cl12, bsn12, hrn12, tpt12, trom 12, timp, perc. (glk, tri., hand cym.) harp and strings. Duration: 6 minutes and 49 seconds.

Until recently all Roman Catholic masses were celebrated in the traditional liturgical language of Latin. Despite a decision to begin using local vernacular languages being taken over 50 years ago, the Latin forms of prayers and liturgies are still of relevance - having been in use for nearly 2000 years. This volume contains some of the most famous prayers in their original form for any believers who are interested in the original forms of their faith.

The Sagas of Icelanders are prose histories mostly describing events that took place in Iceland in the 10th and early 11th centuries, during the so-called Saga Age. They are focused on history, especially genealogical and family history. They reflect the struggle and conflict that arose within the societies of the second and third generations of Icelandic settlers. This volume contains two sagas dealing with the Viking discovery of North America.

Nj ls saga is one of the sagas of Icelanders. The most prominent characters are the friends Nj ll orgeirsson, a lawyer and a sage, and Gunnarr H mundarson, a formidable warrior.
