40 Old Time Hymns is a new book of songs from the past, and in my opinion, golden times. These 40 beautiful pearls are intended for people who, despite all the daily problems and joys, are still aware that God and the teachings of Jesus Christ are always present among us. And if we most often turn to him in the face of various difficulties, it is right to remember him even in a moment of joy and free time, in our minds and with songs.
Songs from the Old Time Songbooks series, as always, I adapted for individual instruments, mandolin, guitar, cigar box guitar, ukulele, tenor banjo, etc. This way, any musician can play them on their favorite instrument. However, several musicians with different instruments can also play songs together. The songs are written with chords for the chosen instrument, and the melodies are presented with notes and tablature. You will also find audio recordings of all the songs at www.lovelymelodies.com.
If I have simplified the melodies and accompaniment with chords in previous books, this time, I have kept the original harmony to a certain extent in the songs. So there are a few more chords, but the result is a collection of quite melodic songs that remind us of the harmony of days gone by and the harmony of the Creator.
May harmony permeate us all, Peter Upclaire.
