"Christian and Inspirational Art Songs which transcend time and genre. Rich and beautiful music. Best collection I own." according to K. E. Morris. I love this collection. Not a single song is passed over when I teach students from it; the arrangements as well as the original songs by Mark Hayes each provide rich melody and glorious accompaniments to songs which inspire and glorify God like nothing else. The first time I purchased this book, in both ML and MH voices, I used them for my own solo singing in churches. Now I use them in concerts and other ministry, but I teach out of this book, continually returning to it because they are simply some of the best Christian art songs in the Engli. "Familiar songs, nice arrangements ---" according to C. Nelson. Mark Hayes has his musical signature on most all of his work and these arrangements are no exception to that. They are nice variations on mostly familiar songs, and are more difficult for the piano accompanist than for the soloist, in my opinion. For me these books and CDs are an entertaining way to exercise the voice, much less boring than regimented vocal exercises.. Amazon Customer said The songs are for medium high as expected and good for those looking for recital pieces. The songs are for medium high as expected and good for those looking for recital pieces. There are fresh arrangements of some old gospel songs which delights the ear, particularly in the piano part. For intermediate pianists, the accompaniment might be too advanced, but doable if practiced.
