I found the arrangements uninspiring.

I was disappointed with the arrangements in this book. I didn't think they sounded particularly worshipful or appropriate for a church setting. Labrnske often interrupts the hymn tune with his overly repetitive musical motif. Instead of taking a hymn tune and building on the melodic ideas, it seemed he just added syncopation when it didn't fit or changed chords in strange ways. I really like Melody Bober's arrangements or the "What Can I Play?" series, but this one I sent back.

Victor Labenske once again gives us a book with interesting rhythms and beautiful, modern chords. An intermediate to late intermediate player can spend only a moderate amount of time practicing, and you can have the music in this book ready for performance. The length of the pieces is good for church service performance (3 - 4 pages each). This book is also good for teaching students who wish to play in church.I bought this book for my daughter who is a church pianist also. I loaned her one of my V. Labenske books, and now she's a fan too.It is wonderful that his books always have a spiral binding!!! I recently bought a Sharon Aaronson book that I like really well, but I struggle with turning pages and keeping the book open because it is not spiral bound. When will they ever learn that pianists need for their books to remain OPEN when they are playing?!?!?!?! The only solution is to break the binding, but it still will never work as well as a spiral binding.
