The Hymn Fake Book

The Hymn Fake Book – C Edition comes with a vast collection of multi-denominational hymns and a whole lot of history. Dating back to the 1940s, jazz musicians used fake books for their nightly gigs. These books contained basic melodies or chords-the cliff notes of full compositions-enough for musicians to fake their way through a song. The Hymn Fake Book continues that tradition and contains only those essential elements: melody, lyrics, and chords for each song. This book is written for C instruments and includes arrangements intended for players, soloists, or group singing. It is bound with a plastic comb so it can lay flat on your music stand. Featuring a variety of hymns, spanning several centuries, it is quite possibly the largest collection of hymns ever assembled. Whether you’re a church musician or hobbyist, this fake book is just what you need! Hymns include:ÿ Abide with Me · All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name · Amazing Grace · Battle Hymn of the Republic · Be Thou My Vision · Christ the Lord Is Risen Today · Crown Him with Many Crowns · Deeper, Deeper · For the Beauty of the Earth · Give Him the Glory · Glorious Freedom · God Is My Strong Salvation · His Eye Is on the Sparrow · How Firm a Foundation · Never Said a Mumblin’ Word (He Never Said a Mumblin’ Word) · O Come, O Come, Emmanuel · The Old Rugged Cross · Shall We Gather at the River? · The Star-Spangled Banner · Tell It to Jesus · There Is a Balm in Gilead · Wayfaring Stranger · Were You There? · What Child Is This? · and more!
