looking for very chordal music

on: July 07, 2005, 12:12:02 AM

I want something to sight read and instantly analyze -- easy chord music. I want something that is as close to being straight whole note chords as possible.

Any ideas?

You can go out and buy a hymnal. The hymns are nothing more than chords.

Older hymnals are usually best for that. I sightread 600 hymns one summer

hmmm..... Is there anything simpler?

I'm thinking of something even easier to read than a hymnal. Something with half or whole notes. Maybe I'll just make something myself.

Thanks for the ideas though. Any more?

Anything by Rachmaninoff- just kidding but the Bach choralles are the way to go there, and they're great music that you might not otherwise come across
