Transitions enable instrumentalists to modulate from key to key and transition from meter to meter to create a seamless musical flow. More than 700 possible combinations are available for piano and organ accompaniments or full orchestra.

The parts contained on the Piano/Organ Transitions PDF CD-ROM will match harmonically with the parts from the Orchestra Transitions PDF CD-ROM, but will only consist of a two-stave keyboard part, not a separate piano and organ part. The keyboard part will be more idiomatic for the piano, but easy enough for the organist to improvise from. Chord symbols are also included.

All Transitions are limited to the keys that are used in the Worship Project. Within that framework, there is a Transition that will modulate from any key to any major key. If you want to use a Transition before a song in a minor key, use the Transition that ends in the song's relative major key. Two keys are relative to each other if they share the same sharps and flats. For example, if you want to use a Transition between D Major and E minor, use the Transition that goes from D to G (E minor's relative major). Below is a chart of minor and major keys that are relative to each other:

Minor Key, Major Key,
C, Eb,
D, F,
E, G,
F, Ab,
G, Bb,
A, C,
B, D,
