In Book 3, Mary Leaf provides pieces that expand a pianist's concepts of rhythm and harmony. Students experience a solar eclipse with unusual harmonies, express an exotic melody at a caravanserai in the deserts of Africa, play a bit of the blues followed by a Baroque-styled piece, and convey a gorgeous cloudy day. Most of the nine pieces are 3 pages, and teachers will find this a very useful book-good teaching material.

Whether planning a special service centered on the Care of the Earth, or looking for unique treatments of cherished Creation hymns, these nine arrangements by Nicholas Palmer are a superb addition to the repertoire. The music is expressive and original, at times taking unexpected yet logical turns, and will cause both player and listener to ponder the hymns in a new light. The arranging is pianistic, making good use of pedaling, higher/lower registers, accents, etc., to create a sometimes playful, sometimes plaintive, sound. Tunes include: The Ash Grove, Cantad al Señor, Dix, Lasst uns erfreuen, and others.
