Each instrumental book contains three staves, including: (1) melody, (2) a harmony part appropriate to the range of the instrument, and (3) an obligato for upper-voiced instruments or counterline for lower voiced instruments. The melody, alto, tenor, or bass lines are graded at the level 1.5, while the obligato and countermelody parts are graded between 2.0 and 2.5, intended for the advanced instrumentalist. Both obligato or counter-lines are completely optional. Part distribution options for each instrument can be found listed on the inside front cover. The individual books will NOT work as a trio, even with keyboard except the trumpet book.

A medley can be formed by using the two hymns on the open facing pages, playing the hymn on the left page using the first ending only, then going directly to the other hymn on the right-hand page. Other possibilities might include using only brass, woodwinds, or strings on repeated verses. Or, try having all low voice instruments on melody, with everyone else on the alto line, or obligato part. Use your own creative instincts to develop other possibilities! May the use of these arrangements bring joy to our Lord, as you worship Him with instrumental music!
