Descants are for Life

[Paul Walton]

TWO NEW VOLUMES OF EXCITING HYMN ARRANGEMENTS

 

NEWLY PUBLISHED, AVAILABLE NOW

 

Arranged by Paul Walton

 

DESCANTS ARE FOR LIFE*

[* not just for Christmas]

 

Add some of that festive fizz to hymn singing all year round with this volume of 140 descants to 125 hymns. The arrangements can be used as descants, or the organ parts serve as last verse harmonisations as well. In addition, 22 of the hymns have parts for full choir. 

 

The volume is available in three editions: 

• Full Music, with organ and choir parts in full;

• Choir, with full music for the singers (no organ part)

• Lower Voice, a smaller volume containing the 22 arrangements with parts for full choir

 

The book is available physically, or as a digital download.

The volume is available until 13 February as a Kickstarter project: pledgers enjoy discounted copies and your name will be printed in the Full Music Edition. Postage to the UK is free as part of the Kickstarter, shipping to the EU, US and Australia is charged at cost.
