See amid the Winter’s Snow

Richly expressive and full of gentle majesty, “See amid the Winter’s Snow” is a warm and dignified Christmas setting of the beloved carol HUMILITY. Kevin Hildebrand’s arrangement brings together SATB choir, congregation, organ, and strings in a tender unfolding of this cherished text.

An American Hymn Tune Sampler: Easy Preludes for Organ

This collection celebrates the diverse heritage of American hymn tunes—from Appalachian melodies to African American spirituals to the influential work of Lowell Mason. Kevin Hildebrand writes with church musicians in mind: Hand positions and pedal lines remain accessible for less experienced players, yet the pieces offer enough musical interest to engage advanced organists as well. 

Hymn Playing Compendium

A New Organ Series for Lutheran Service Book

This new series, edited by Dr. Jeffrey Blersch, gives organists introductions and harmonizations for every hymn tune in Lutheran Service Book. This collection can easily be used with other hymnals that contain the same hymn tunes as well. Each tune will contain one newly composed introduction, while each hymn text will have its own harmonizations. Additionally, lay-flat, spiral binding is included to make page turning a breeze on your music stand.   

Volume 1 Releases in December of 2026
