Up to five parts. Each book has a melody line, plus harmony parts. Violin and viola have melody (soprano) plus 1st & 2nd alto part. Cello has melody plus tenor line and bass line. Bass has melody plus base parts. Pianos and score available too.
Most are G major. A few are D major. Very playable by second year and above players. Flexible part assignments. Can play melody, then harmony for as many repeats as you choose.
This is the best book ever for intonation training. Many perfect intervals between parts. Great for church and home use too.
I was disappointed by book 2. Less friendly keys. Might work for third year and up. Some songs are less known.
