About This BookThis book contains many popular Christian hymns, thoughsome of your favorites may be missing. Some hymns includeaccidentals (extra sharps and flats that are not normally part ofthe song’s key), which are difficult to play on the harmonica.Some hymns that are considered essentials, but have accidentals, have been adapted through minor note changes for playingon the harmonica. These versions are included in a separate section at the end of the book.The notes used for these adaptations are only those of the melody. The melody is usually the top line of notes, and is what youhear most often when the congregation sings in unison. Theindividual parts (soprano, alto, tenor and bass) are not included,nor are many of the supplemental notes that would be playedon the piano.Harmonicas have two reeds in each hole. One reed is the blowreed, while the other is the draw reed. In other words, each holeplays two different notes depending on whether you are blowing or drawing.Each harmonica can only play the notes that are included in itskey. For example, a C harmonica will have no flats or sharps.An F harmonica will have a B-flat, but no B-natural, and so
forth. That means that if a song is written in the key of G, it isbest played on a G harmonica.Nevertheless, the great thing about the harmonica is that therelative note layout is the same on every harmonica. On an Fharp, the transition from 7 blow to 7 draw is the half step downfrom F to E. On a C harp that same transition is the half stepdown from C to B. Another example is the transition from 6blow to 6 draw: a full step up from C to D on the F harp, and afull step up from G to A on the C harp.What that means in simple terms is that any song can be playedon any key harmonica without going through the process oftransposing the music. Simply follow the numbers and blowor draw.That means that if you only have one harmonica – the mostcommon is C, for example – you can still play all of the hymnsincluded in this book.
How to use this bookEach hymn includes the lyrics for only the first verse, with anumber and an arrow above each syllable:#1 Redeemer of IsraelKey: Dhh i h ih i h i h i i h h44 455 6 6 655 4446Re - deem - er of Is - rael, our on - ly de - light, OnThe number relates to the hole to be played on the harmonica.The arrows above the numbers tell you whether to play a blownote or a draw note. The up arrow (h) means blow, while thedown arrow (i) means draw.The key in which the song was written appears below the titleof the hymn. That means the hymn is best-played on that keyharmonica, but it can be played on any harmonica by followingthe same notation.Harmonica music does not use the quarter notes, half notes andwhole notes that normal musical notation uses to communicatetiming. Therefore, it helps to be familiar with the tune so youcan play the proper length on each note.
