Hymns and Sacred Melodies for Recorder (Soprano And Alto Parts Included)

Mary Jo Sminkey said Okay for what it is, but may not be of great use. I picked up an inexpensive used copy of this, hoping it would give us some new songs to play in church. What it had was 75 common hymns, with the soprano and alto parts pretty much as found in a hymnal. No vocals are included, and a fair number of the hymns I found were in different keys than in my church's hymnal so not really useful.

Hymns and Sacred Melodies for alto recorder I have a music ministry and having music books such as Mel Bay presents Hymns and Sacred Melodies for alto recorders is just what I need as I am just learning to play the alto recorder. The Mel Bay books are easy to read and to follow. I am very happy with this book.Don Waters. Recommend but short songs familyofseven This book has about 2 songs per page so the songs are not very long at all. I was hoping to be able to play this in church but not sure how to do that since the songs are so short?
