Easy Piano Hymns For Lent And Easter
These simplified arrangements for piano (also adaptable for organ) are all of hymns contained in The United Methodist Hymnal (1989). Although copyrighted, these arrangements are made available here for free downloading and use by local church musicians, music students, piano teachers, and others as long as you include the complete copyright notice on each copy. None of these arrangements may be resold or republished without permission.
These arrangements are fully capable of standing alone as support and accompaniment for congregational singing. Musically, they will not conflict with the harmonies or rhythms of The United Methodist Hymnal (except as noted), so they may be played with another piano or an organ to accompany singing. They are also suitable for early grade recital use and for preludes or offertories in worship.
Additional simplified accompaniment arrangements from The United Methodist Hymnal will be made available on this site in the future. Simplified arrangements of the entire contents of The Faith We Sing are available in the Simplified Edition of that volume, which may be obtained from Cokesbury stores, websiteor catalog (toll-free telephone, 1-800-672-1789).
