Reharmonized Hymn Collections with interludes and modulations

The 18 hymn accompaniments provide various styles of reharmonizations with the intention of encouraging and supporting congregational singing. The reharmonizations are from what I have been accompanying at my home church and I thought it would be a good idea to build a library of accompaniment series for church organists.

Each hymn in this collection is composed of 3 verses including original choral settings, reharmonization I, and reharmonization II along with interludes and modulations. This setting offers fresh harmonic ideas and organists can provide diverse accompaniments for each verse.
I hope you find this hymn accompaniment collection one that supports both the congregation and organists to lift up their voices and pipes to sing to the Lord!
