Herzlich Lieb

A great addition to this practical series crafted by John Behnke. Repertoire that is thoughtfully designed for the organist who has limited preparation time and the listener who can easily be engaged in interpretive preludes on well-known tunes.

The sixth volume in this popular series offers ten hymn introductions and harmonizations. Jeffrey Blersch’s writing, like his acclaimed playing, features adventuresome harmonic language and a breadth of musical interest, but always with a focus on encouraging hymn singing.

This volume, spiral-bound so that it will lie flat on your organ rack, contains alternate accompaniments to hymn tunes used throughout Christendom. We've included hymn number references to Lutheran Service Book for your convenience as well.
