This is a collection of traditional hymns in a practical format, with chsord symbols and in manageable keys.All of the hymns (apart from Parry's original version of 'Jerusalem' for voice and piano, provided as an appendix) are harmonised simply in four parts for choirs (or instrumentalists) to perform with a minimum of rehearsal. They are notated in closed score on two staves, so they can be easily played on the piano or organ. In addition, chord symbols are given for guitarists and keyboard players who prefer reading chords and melody.The words for all the verses are printed as underlay, rather than block text, as this is easier to read, especially for less experienced choral singers. Apart from 'Jerusalem', all of the hymns are printed on a single page, so there is no need for page turns.The keys are chosen, and transposed where necessary, so that no key signature has more than three flats or sharps, and to provide comfortable ranges for most singers.

This collection contains seasonal songs such as 'Auld lang syne', 'Jingle Bells' and 'We wish you a merry Christmas' as well as the more obvious are such as 'Hark! the herald angels sing' and 'O come, all ye faithful'. There are regional English folk carols, for example 'Sans Day carol' (Cornish) and 'We wish you a merry Christmas' (West Country) and some European carols in translation, for example 'The angel Gabriel from heaven came' (Basque), 'He is born, the holy child' (French), and 'Little Jesus, sweetly sleep' (Czech). All of the carols are notated on the treble clef with chord symbols for singers and accompanists to perform. The words for all the verses are printed as underlay, rather than block text, as this is easier to read, especially for less experienced choral singers. All of the carols are printed on a single page, with page numbers matching the numbering of the carols, which are mostly in alphabetical order (apart from one or two which require double page spreads in the four-part edition of this book).The keys are chosen, and transposed where necessary, so that no key signature has more than three flats or sharps, and to provide comfortable singing ranges for most singers.

How do ordinary people access justice? This book offers a novel socio-legal approach to access to justice, alternative dispute resolution, vulnerability and energy poverty. It poses an access to justice challenge and rethinks it through a lens that accommodates all affected people, especially those who are currently falling through the system. It raises broader questions about alternative dispute resolution, the need for reform to include more collective approaches, a stronger recognition of the needs of vulnerable people, and a stronger emphasis on delivering social justice. The authors use energy poverty as a site of vulnerability and examine the barriers to justice facing this excluded group. The book assembles the findings of an interdisciplinary research project studying access to justice and its barriers in the UK, Italy, France, Bulgaria and Spain (Catalonia). In-depth interviews with regulators, ombuds, energy companies, third-sector organisations and vulnerable people provide a rich dataset through which to understand the phenomenon. The book provides theoretical and empirical insights which shed new light on these issues and sets out new directions of inquiry for research, policy and practice. It will be of interest to researchers, students and policymakers working on access to justice, consumer vulnerability, energy poverty, and the complex intersection between these fields.The book includes contributions by Cosmo Graham (UK), Sarah Supino and Benedetta Voltaggio (Italy), Marine Cornelis (France), Anais Varo and Enric Bartlett (Catalonia) and Teodora Peneva (Bulgaria).

A collection of contemporary poetry by independent author, Chris Gill.

It also makes observations about the world on a social, political and spiritual scale, which will leave you deep in thought and often able to relate.The collection is split into six parts that tackle issues on both a macro and micro scale. Kicking off with the confessional Catacombs, the book promises to take its reader on an existential trip as the author picks apart fragments of his memory. The book then continues with Escape to the Docks, a darker, even haunting section that presents the reader with a narrative of the writer's student life. Expect themes ranging from hedonism to suicide.The third part of the book, titled Home, reverts back in time to the author's childhood. Here we're given an intimate insight into the poets early years through dream-like prose. The fourth section of the book, Wires, sees the experimental writer turn far more outward as he openly expresses his political views and concerns about the environment. This section includes the epic poem Wires, which takes the reader on a powerful exploration into the author's inner psyche.The final two parts, Oracles under City Lights and The Other Side, follow Chris' life in both London and Sydney, with all the lessons taught along the way through the people he encountered and situations he found himself in.If you think poetry is dull and outdated, Verses will open your mind and give you a taste of how contemporary poetry looks, sounds and feels. It proves that poetry, just like any other art form, exists to provoke emotion and empathy within its reader; leaving you enthralled and wanting more.
