Title: Broadman Songs for Men
Description: As a result of a growing awareness of the ministry of music in our churches, multiple choir programs are becoming widely accepted. The Men's Choir can be one of the most effective groups in such a program. Broadman Songs for Men has been compiled, arranged, and edited with such a group in mind. These familiar hymns should prove singable and practical wherever men gather to sing. The hymns have been arranged in a manner to present the greatest possible vocal advantages for the singers. The melody of each hymn is given to the second tenor part. The key selection places the pitch in a moderate range, suited to all voices. A unique feature of this book is that a number of hymns have been arranged so they can be used simultaneously with the same hymns in Broadman Songs for Women. These matched hymns have identical key and harmonic structure and can be used together for various combinations of men's and women's voices. It is therefore possible to use a women's quartet with a men's choir, or a men's quartet with a women's choir, or choirs or quartets combined. This book is sent forth with the sincere desire that it may become an effective tool in the ministry of music. May it bring forth praise and adoration to the Creator of music. - Foreword of book Number 1.
