Descants for use with "Lift Up Your Hearts" hymnal.

The descants included in this collection were composed during the summer of 2014 as part of a sabbatical project in Larry Visser's position as Minister of Music and Organist at LaGrave Avenue Christian Reformed Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The recently published hymnal Lift Up Your Hearts: Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs (Faith Alive Christian Resources (c) 2013) is the primary hymnal used by LaGrave’s congregation.
