This practical volume by Robert Lau contains easy introductions and interludes for 50 familiar hymns. The introductions prepare the congregation for singing, while the interludes provide a natural break between stanzas. Rather than dramatic departures, these settings remain true to the style and character of each original hymn tune and are no more difficult than playing the hymn itself, making them ideal for everyday worship use.
