Accompanist S Handbook To The Seventh Day Adventist Hymnal

Accompanist's Handbook to the Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal is designed to be a resource for musicians of various levels of ability. The key signatures, titles, and numbers of each of The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal's (SDAH, pub. 1985) 695 hymns are grouped in order to assist both experienced and novice keyboard accompanists. Three organization schemes make it possible to efficiently answer questions that musicians commonly have. In what key is "Jesus Paid It All" written? If "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" was played in the key of G, would it be too high for the congregation? Could one make a smooth transition from "My Maker and My King" to "Lead On, O King Eternal"? Are hymns #520 and #529 written in the same key so that one can follow the other seamlessly? What can the congregation sing if the pianist can only play in keys that don't have any sharps or flats? These questions, which require numerous page-turning comparisons with the present SDAH indexes, are answered in a single page of this Handbook. This will enable congregations to spend more time singing songs instead of searching for songs.

This Oxford Handbook contains 39 original essays on Seventh-day Adventism. Each chapter addresses the history, theology, and various other social and cultural aspects of Adventism from its inception up to the present as a major religious group spanning the globe.

Some songs in Hymnal: A Worship Book do not have accompaniment--this handbook contains keyboard accompaniments for those songs. Includes suggestions on how to lead many of the hymns. Round notes.
