Description
Here are hymn tune preludes which offer the church organist opportunities to coordinate service music with hymns being sung for the service. Longer preludes are printed on foldout pages in the second section of the book.
On the back cover of the book, an index is presented alphabetically by hymn tune name. That list is presented here. Three preludes have been selected as NFMC “required” pieces, and are starred. Others in the book would qualify as “choice” pieces.
