This collection of ?Easy String Trios? contains 10 hymns arranged for VIOLIN, VIOLA, and CELLO. These fun-to-learn arrangements are a welcome addition to the repertoire for beginning string students and suitable for recitals and worship services. The theme of each hymn centers around giving thanks and is equally suited for the Thanksgiving season as well as other times of year to encourage a spirit of gratitude.

All notes for each instrument 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 all three parts on each page plus separate 1-staff scores for the VIOLIN, VIOLA, and CELLO.

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

Song titles included in this collection:
All Creatures of Our God and King
Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
Count Your Blessings
Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee (Ode to Joy)
Now Thank We All Our God
Praise God, from Whom All Blessings Flow (Doxology)
Praise to the Lord

"Hallelujah" is a song written by Canadian singer Leonard Cohen, and was originally released in 1984. It has grown in popularity over the years and is now widely used in both secular and sacred settings. It was also featured in the film Shrek in 2001.

This arrangement is for String Trio, and as with most Zene Strings arrangements, gives each player an opportunity to play the melody.

There is a violin II part (treble clef) as well as a viola part (alto clef) included, so this trio can be played with either two violins and a cello, or a violin, viola and cello.

Enjoy -- from your friends at Zene Strings!
