Each hymn, arranged by Geoff Kingston & Ian Macpherson, will, where applicable, have a short Introduction and Amen and playable by multiple combinations to give maximum flexibility. These are available for immediate digital download as PDF files; which you can print as required or you can purchase printed scores and sets of parts which will be shipped to you in the normal way.
