Gospel music is rooted in the folk tradition of America. It is music from the heart and soul and appears wherever people gather to express their spiritual joy. Folk instruments such as the guitar, banjo, mandolin, ukulele, and autoharp lend themselves to this kind of group singing. They can provide simple accompaniments or carry the melody in a small group of a full fledged revival. The autoharp blends in well with the spirit and harmonics of these hymns. The first section of this book is chorded for simple strumming. The second section is arranged for melody playing, with string numbers indicated. A popular collection which includes 69 songs!

This valuable collection of hymns, 77 in all, is the fourth in a series of five! Volume four includes songs for Thanksgiving, Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany seasons as well as a few for the ordinary time between Epiphany and Lent. You will find many wonderful titles arranged for harp, from well-known favorites to songs that are lesser known yet equally important. These tunes have the added benefit of being arranged in keys that are accessible to most vocal ranges, which is especially helpful when playing along with congregational singing.

The well-known soothing Prelude in C from Johann Sebastian Bach's "Das wohltemperierte Klavier" is arranged for the Pedal harp. It contains pedal changes. This arrangement includes a version with pedal notations and fingering suggestions and another blank version. This piece is perfect to play on several occasions, including weddings.

The arrangement remains true to the original, but includes the "Schwencke measure" = m. 23. Charles Gounod used this version to compose his beautiful Ave Maria melody.

Beautiful harpistic arrangement of this comforting hymn. This piece was transcribed by Basil Alter from Louise's recording, "Sacred Treasures". It is five pages in length, highly arpeggiated with some harmonics and glissandos. There is also a music box type section. It is exactly as Louise recorded it. Gretchen Chell Cover assisted with editing, and Frank Voltz did the final editing. Mary Radspinner made the Finale edits. This is the second piece from Louise's "Sacred Treasures" album.
