This unique collection features a variety of hymns arranged as piano solos useful for accomplished church pianists performers or students. The infusion of classical styles into hymn arrangements brings a new sparkle to standard hymns which may have lost some of their luster through the years of use. Likewise the introduction of classical music into the worship milieu can infuse freshness into the liturgy. Titles include Abide with Me (in the setting of Beethoven’s Pathetique Sonata No. 8); Alas and Did My Savior Bleed (in the setting of Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini 18th Variation); and a rare arrangement of Brightest and Best (in the general style of FranzSchubert).

Handelâ €™s opera Tolomeo from 1728 was premiered at the King’s Theatre in London. Exactly two hundred years later, the celebrated art song composer Arthur Somervell adapted the tune of one of the arias, Non lo dirò col labbro,withEnglish words for the British drawing room. The theme of unrequited love remained intact, but the two composers’ handling of theme was naturally different.This arrangement has been created for two-part Voice, SA, withPianoaccompaniment that respects Handel’s original setting. More modern audiences may have become acquainted with the song from the 1990’s film Emma.
