SONGS FROM THE SPIRIT
This collection of piano arrangements on hymns throughout the church year comes from five exceptional arrangers in WELS. It includes a dozen hymn tunes, two each from Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, and hymns of Hope and Comfort. Each section features a familiar hymn tune and a new hymn tune, all of which will be in the new Christian Worship.
Until it’s available, explore all that arrangers Jeremy Bakken, Valerie Floeter, Linda Moeller, Zach Unke, and Dale Witte have to offer.
New choral arrangements are also coming from Jeffrey Blersch (Delay Not! Delay Not!) and Kevin Hildebrand (Lord, You Were Rich Beyond All Splendor).
Spring is always an exciting time! Check nph.net often as we make our spring releases and as we curate the best of the best from the new keyboard, choral, vocal and instrumental releases of CPH, MorningStar, Augsburg Fortress, GIA, Hope, Lorenz, and more.
All of the above music introduces and supports the hymns of the Christian Worship: Hymnal being released later this year! To learn more about this exciting new worship resource, visit christianworship.com.
