Arranger Shelley Helzerman Houser is a church musician and piano instructor who has found the balance between making these settings interesting while remaining highly accessible. This collection is a fresh source of hymn settings for students, performers, and church pianists. The arrangements are shorter and more succinct than usual, making them ideal as offertories in smaller churches or other situations in which brief pieces are desired. In addition, many of the selections will prove useful in recitals, talent contests, or concerts.
