This collection of traditional hymns is designed for solo violin, duets, or groups. The arrangements are not difficult but are well-done musically. The pieces are ideal for offertories and for ensembles where rehearsal time is limited. The author encourages the more advanced violinists to add ornamentation where desired. Includes online audio, performed by Karén Khanagov on piano and William Khanagov on violin, that will aid in practice and interpretation for performance.

In his words, “This collection is ideal for developing freedom while playing and for bringing one’s spirit into the music.”
