In Classic Hymns Philip Sparke has taken 10 of the best-loved hymn tunes popular around the world and used them as the basis of a collection of short recital pieces ranging from simple descant arrangements to a full-blown theme and variations. Ideal for concert or contest use these charming pieces range in mood from triumphal to reflective and can provide that â??musical momentâ?? and a time for meditation in church services and religious occasions of all kinds.

Part of the Anglo Music Play-Along Series, Philip Sparke?s 15 Intermediate Christmas Carols is aimed at the young instrumentalist who can play about an octave and a half and follows on from Sparke?s 15 Easy Christmas Carols. Specifically tailored to suit the individual instrument, this book introduces the developing player to the world?s most popular Christmas tunes by selecting simple yet attractive melodies that fit their limited range. The book will provide invaluable additional material to complement any teaching method and includes both piano accompaniment and a demo/play-along CD.
