Mel Bay

Arrangers: Peter B. Irvine, Dona Benkert
Format: Book
Instrumentation: Voice and Dulcimer

These compositions are collaborations based on texts and tunes from a variety of sources, including the Bible, the 1940 Episcopal Hymnal, George Herbert, Thomas Tallis and others. Arranged for the mountain dulcimer, these renditions provide traditional repertoire for individuals, house churches and congregations without an organ, as well as a musical change of pace. They can be sung by soloists, choirs and congregations alike. Written in standard notation and tablature in DAD tuning.
