Unadorned Hymn Duets Paperback – September 15, 2024

Worship our Heavenly Father with these Unadorned Hymn Duets, 133 traditional church hymns in their simplest form arranged for two trumpets. The key word here is "unadorned". In contrast to Eddie Lewis' popular Trumpet Hymn Duets book, the duets in this book have no introductions, no modulations, no embellishments, and no clever compositional treatments. The Unadorned Hymn Duets utilize only the melody and a working harmony part, nothing else! By "working harmony part" we mean that the harmony parts work with most hymnal versions of the hymns. Unless the keys are different, you can use these duets with your congregational singing. This is one of the reasons people love these arrangements so much. The harmonies remain true to the original hymns. Another nice feature of these Unadorned Hymn Duets is that they are ready to be used by trumpet players of most skill levels. A quick scan of all the hymns in the book reveals only eight written G's above the staff. All the rest of the hymns remain inside the staff in the first part. The second part can be tricky sometimes, but the combined sound is beautiful. Read more
