Description
“The use of the dulcimer in worship services takes us back to a simpler, unhurried time. In our society we tend to think that music needs to be played louder and faster. The sweet song of the dulcimer tells us to relax, take a deep breath and listen for that still, small voice.” (from the Foreword by Esther Kreek)
Includes SUPPLEMENT: Hymns in DAd tuning (all the DAA hymns are arranged for DAd tuning as well). The Supplement also includes an Outline for an Advent Chorale Worship Service. (18 pp.)
Recommended for:
Dulcimer Players with a basic level of playing experience who wish to expand their repertoire to include hymns of faith.
Dulcimer Teachers whose students want to play the hymns and songs of their faith.
Pastors and Church Musicians who seek to expand the congregation’s experience of worship, recapture and enliven the cultural traditions of the congregation, so they can appreciate the new cultural gifts from other people in our midst; and those who seek to include other instrumentalists and voicing in the congregation’s worship.
