What Can I Play on Sunday?, Complete Collection: 60 Easily Prepared Piano Arrangements for Services Throughout the Year (Sacred Performer Collections)

"Great, time-saving, money-saving resource" according to Amy Presley. I've played some of Cindy Berry's arrangements before, and bought the "What Can I Play on Sunday?" collection for January and February. The songs were PERFECT for our services and our reverend was so impressed at the "time and effort I put into selecting songs for the services." I didn't tell him the work had already been done for me. :) I looked into buying the March/April book and found this one for the entire year, which saved me a lot of money. Well worth the purchase! For reference, I am a late intermediate/early advanced player, and can some of these sight-reading, and most with a little practice (less than an hour).. It's nice not having buyer's remorse for once! I have never, ever bought a sacred piano book and played through literally every song start to finish! Usually there are a few I get bored with or give up on, but every one of these works. By which I mean they're playable, the chords make sense, and they're of a good length for service music. I'd say most are sight-readable for an intermediate-to-advanced player, and even better, the vast majority could easily be adapted for organ.That said, playing through the entire book reveals some abrupt endings and repetitive patterns (2nd time through, give the melody to the left hand!), but obviously one wouldn't perform all 60 pieces i. "Handy Resource for Church Pianists" according to Past Romance. This is a great resource of church pianists. I love the fact that there's such a large selection of hymns that are harder to find. My abilities are somewhere in the advanced range and I was able to play through the entire book at near performance-ready level on sight. It's perfect for those weeks where there's just not time to prepare more difficult pieces. I especially enjoyed the arrangements of God Will Take Care of You and many of the other old Methodist hymns. Each one follows almost the same exact cookie-cutter format---begins with standard arrangement, flows into an alternative melody (often minor), ends with a big, loud

In addition to seasonally relevant selections for general worship, the book also contains arrangements that are appropriate for major holidays, including Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Pentecost, the Fourth of July, All Saints Day, Thanksgiving, Advent, and Christmas.
