A Common Book of Church Hymns: Great Vespers

Beautiful and high quality.

Beautiful, easy to understand and read. As a classically trained musician and someone brand new to Orthodoxy, this will be a very helpful resource as I try to learn the texts, services and music.

So helpful. All the pieces can be sung with one part, two, three, or four parts. Our choir doesn’t always have four parts, especially at Vespers. The print is very clear and crisp and the melodies are traditional. The one downside is the hard cover format makes it difficult to make nice crisp copies of a piece using our church’s little printer.

great selection; ready to go

What a great selection of music: it is trustworthy to be well-arranged, it has an easy to read simplified style of notation (melody, bass, and an "implied" descant), and saves me countless hours of poking around on the Internet just try to find something a little different.
