HYMN-TUNE INDEX, BY PITCH SEQUENCE

Instructions: To find the tune name for a certain sequence of pitches, first take the first phrase of the tune and omit every immediatedly-repeated note. For example, if the first phrase of the melody is: C E G G G G A G, reduce it to: C E G A G. Then search for that in the tables below. If you find more than one example which fits the sequence, add the next phrase in the same manner. For sharps notes, use the number sign (#), thus: F# G#. For flats, use the lower-case letter B (b), thus: Bb Eb. Put a space between the pitches and use capital letters except for the Flat sign. Hymns in different keys found in the 8 Lutheran hymnals are included.          Links to starting pitches: Low Bb     Low B     Middle C     Low D     Low Eb     Low E     F     F#     G     G#     Ab     A     High Bb     High B     High C     High C#     High D     High Eb
