The green book shows a range of 6 to 20 dollars.

I am looking for an enlarged version of the green book. a guy at Freidberg (?) . had such.It was spiral bound.
Do you have this or is it something he had made ?
Erik Salzwedel –
If you go to the shop page under sheet music you will see the list of chorale books. The $20 is the full score.
Dennis Fort –
These are beautifully arranged chorales with excellent harmony and moving parts that work well with various combination of instruments. In general, they work best if you have compatible soprano, alto, tenor, and bass instruments but with some creativity, there are other possibilites. They are genearlly accessible to players at the intermediate level and up, and tend to stay in keys and ranges that are not too difficult.
