Church Accompanist Resources
BenjaminHarlan.com Offers Resources for Congregational Singing
Award-winning composer Benjamin Harlan has created a new resource - a series of congregational arrangements specifically designed to encourage vibrant congregational singing. These arrangements feature a wide mix of styles and feature stirring introductions, inspired transitions and soaring descants.
Photocopy as many copies as needed for your singers and instrumentalists. Congregations sing from hymnals or screens. Online transactions carry the Authorize.Net security guarantee through Chase Bank.
For the many who have used Benjamin Harlan's earlier "Let All the World in Every Corner Sing" collections, please note that these arrangements are all new. The phrase from George Herbert's timeless hymn has been retained as a subtitle.

Free Improvisation Material for Church Pianists
I wanted to make each of you aware of free materials that I am placing on-line for church pianists. These are designed to help the church pianist to develop practical improvisation skills and this would also be beneficial to the developing arranger/composer. Hope this is useful to your people. Most of the materials are in PDF format and all are completely free and provided as a service. I will be adding more soon: www.jamesmstevens.com/freedownloads.html
