Songs of Celebration for Juneteenth
Twenty-five wonderful old songs of faith arranged with an eye to the needs of advancing beginning adult violinists and guitarists.
Each arrangement sounds great as a SOLO, DUET or larger STRING ENSEMBLE, with or without the guitar accompaniment. There's something here for everyone - from the stirring beats of "Elijah Rock" and "Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel" to the peaceful strains of "His Eye is On the Sparrow," and the familiar "This Little Light of Mine."
Guitar chords are in easy-to-follow diagram format, and all songs are in keys that are familiar to violin and guitar beginners. Yet the harmonizations are beautiful, and perfectly suited for Juneteenth, worship, recitals, home and community gatherings.
This book is an excellent way to gain confidence reading sheet music rhythms, by creating the sounds of familiar and beloved Gospel songs and Spirituals.
