These arrangements are intended either as stand-alone pieces that could be used as interludes in a service, or they could be used to accompany solo, choral or congregational singing. You can hear this effect in the audio samples. However, to produce a brighter and richer sound, a few of the more experienced violinists could play an octave higher.
To make the music accessible to less experienced players, the range of the notes has been kept fairly low so that many of the arrangements can be played in first position.
The piano part too means that you can use the arrangements as solos, duets or trios. The left hand plays only the bass part most of the time, with the right hand part kept as simple as possible. There?s also an optional but useful simplified keyboard part intended for less experienced keyboard players. The bass part is also optional because it doubles the cello part an octave lower. They are presented in a set of three books and include full four-part instrumental scores plus four separate parts for 1st violin, 2nd violin, viola and cello (and double bass). The hymns are scored in four parts and could be used with virtually any combination of stringed instruments: string quartet or quintet or any size string ensemble. We?re really excited to present the third and last book of our collection of sixty of the best-loved hymns ever composed. Arranged for Strings by Colin Kirkpatrick
