Bradypus Songbooks: YOUR Favorite Hymn Books (51* d) RE: Hymn Books 22 Oct 00


Liland - Our congregation is out of the ordinary! (but not musically).

Burke - Songs of Fellowship vol 1 has 640 hymns on 1178 pages. Volume 2 takes us up to 1150 hymns, but it doesn't have page numbers - however we seem to be talking about 2000+ pages to cover the scope of the book of words in the pews. The good news is that the music books are musician friendly - clearly laid out, with guitar chords and words, and even with one verse of words lined up with the music (which can be important when it's not intuitively obvious how the piece is to be sung - cf the Lyngham discussion.

We don't use Hymns of Fellowship - that was Liz - but it seems that would double the size yet again.
