One of my favorite hymn collections

This collection has a nice variety of hymns and arrangers. A few of the less-common hymns are included. Arrangements are musically interesting and only moderately difficult (I was an undergrad piano major and am able to play them with very little practice) while still sounding impressive. I use this book quite frequently for offertories.

We asked several of the top composers for worship services today to pick two of their favorite hymns and create new settings to include in this compilation. Not surprisingly, the results were (and are) wonderful. Amazingly, there were no duplications of titles. All, however, are refreshingly unique and represent a diverse array of musical styles. We also asked each arranger to share why they chose a particular title and, perhaps, why a certain style was chosen for this setting. And viola!... We now offer you this collection of hymns expressly created by these composers as a wonderful addition for any church pianist's library.
