Im a new organist/choir director and this manual not only helps with hymn selection but has great suggestions for choir anthemsBy J LAWRENCE GATESThis guide has been a lifesaver in music planning. Im a new organist/choir director and this manual not only helps with hymn selection but has great suggestions for choir anthems. This book has been a central guide in music planning for my Episcopal parish. I definitely recommend it to anyone planning music for a congregation.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
