The title of this collection was inspired by the words found in Psalm 150 verse 4: ?Praise Him with stringed instruments?? (KJV)

This collection contains 10 favorite hymns arranged as easy instrumental duets (for CELLO solo with PIANO accompaniment). From flowing and peaceful to upbeat and festive, these arrangements are a welcome addition to the repertoire for beginning string students. These familiar hymn arrangements are equally enjoyed whether used for recitals, worship services, or to make practicing more interesting.

All notes for the CELLO in each song are playable in the first position making these arrangements an excellent choice for early-intermediate string players. For each song, there is a combined score (grand staff) with both parts on each page (CELLO and PIANO) plus a separate 1-staff score for each CELLO.

Each song is also available separately with accompanying preview pages and audio samples.

Song titles included in this collection:
Blessed Quietness
Come, Thou Fount
Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Holy, Holy, Holy
It Is Well with My Soul
Nearer, My God, to Thee
Power in the Blood
Praise Ye the Father

What a Friend We Have in Jesus
