Cantus Christi 2020 Piano Version (2-part Spiral Bind)
The Cantus 2020 Piano version now splits the Cantus into two spiral-bound volumes with durable plastic sheet covers. The sheet music is also expanded to fill an 8.5x11" page for ease of use.
Part 1 is the Psalms (front matter and #s 1-300). Part 2 is the Hymns and Service Music (#s 301-744 and end matter).
Recover our great Christian musical heritage!
Our affections are shaped and molded by the music we sing and hear.
Currently, the happy clappy Evangelical church is limited to a very small range of musical expression, and if our music does not train us to vigorously celebrate or to bitterly lament, how will we and our children be prepared when great victories or great tragedies confront us.
Will we have the right words come to our minds?
This piano accompaniment edition of the 2020 Cantus Christi includes some familar classics (A Mighty Fortress; And Can It Be; Holy, Holy, Holy; When I Survey the Wondrous Cross; etc.) and some memorable but sadly unknown compositions (St. Patrick's Breastplate; The Son of God Goes Forth to War) and over a hundred and twenty Psalms. "Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, And His praise in the assembly of saints."
This accompaniment edition is spiral bound and printed on 8.5 x11 paper and is designed specifically for worship.
