    Hi, hoping someone may be able to help. Am trying to find a book of piano music for hymns. The book I am actually looking for is called "The Derry Hymnal". I believe this is now out of print. So, have been trying to find something similar online i.e. piano accompaniment for hymns including well known irish ones e.g. Ag Criost an Siol. I am not having alot of luck as most sites I have checked seem to stock music for old classical english hymns. Know this is abit random but any help appreciated!. Thnx

    He's busy with his new opera company atm, but I'll send him a message if he doesn't respond in the next day or two.

    OP: I googled "Derry Hymnal" and got four hits - two of which were this thread! I wonder what's up with that. Do you know if it was ever released under another title, or if the Derry Hymnal is a nickname, or something like that?

    Hi. I have heard of the 'Derry Hymnal' (and may even have seen a copy) but I think it is out of print. The full score version of the Veritas hymnal might be useful for you, which I think you can purchase in the Veritas shop as it's recently been reprinted. Some of the arrangements are a bit shoyte but it's the only book that would have an even moderately wide selection of Irish hymns in it, I reckon.

    Lads, I love the way I've become some sort of church music oracle. :D
