Final Stanzas: Hymn Settings for Organ and Descanting Instrument, Vol. 5

In this, the fifth volume of Final Stanzas, Maxwell continues to explore the harmonic possibilities of the hymn tunes while considering the nature of each tune. The settings are perfect for use on the final stanza of a hymn. This volume includes 20 tunes, which cover 28 hymns in Lutheran Service Book. The settings are very accessible for both the organist and the instrumentalist, and reproducible parts are included for each piece for optional C and B-flat instruments.
