Comparison Tune Index
Between the 1991 Denson Revision and the 2006 Cooper Revision

by Gaylon L. Powell


The purpose of this index is to compare the tunes that are found in both the Denson book and/or the Cooper Book. I have also made a note when there is a difference in the tune between the two books. The alto is different between the books for most songs and therefore are not notated. Also, some songs to have modified variations in other books and sources, but the focus here is only between the current Denson and Cooper Revisons. Many thanks to Robert Vaughn, Karen Willard, and Berkley Moore for their assistance and suggestions.


Statistics

Number of songs in the Cooper Revision: 599
Number of songs in the Denson Revision: 557
Number of tunes located in both books: 339
Number of tunes located in both books that are found on the same page number: 244
Number of tunes located in both books that are found with one page difference: 8
Number of tunes located in both books that are found on completely different page numbers: 87

Please note: For the purpose of the above statistics, modified tune variations like Grafton (Cooper Revision) and Showers of Blessings (Denson Revision) are counted as the same tune. See other modified tune variations listed below.
