HYMNS FOREVER
 
 

For the Small Church on a Tight Budget: Nice Hymn Music Free!

(Hymns courtesy of Garrett at St. Vincent de Paul church)

IN OUR CHURCH,
we turn a dial on our keyboard to the number of the hymn we want to play, we press “start,” and we hear the music exactly the same as when the pianist played the song the first time live. There is no difference, except that the pianist does not have to be there. We have that hymn forever, and no mistakes can ever be made.

Our collection of 27 hymns and 10 Christmas carols can be played successfully as a permanent alternative to a live musician, or simply to fill in when your regular person is ill or on vacation. Just email us, and we will send the entire collection to you free of charge. Be sure to tell us the name and location of your church, as this offer is not for individuals.

Please tell your pastor or music director about this free offer!

  •   These are not recordings or music files, they are MIDI files, which are instructions for your own keyboard instrument to play, and will sound just like a live musician because your own instrument is actually playing them. Your instrument just receives its instructions from the file, rather than from someone pressing on the keys. If you do not now have a keyboard or digital organ for your church, they are not expensive. We can help you with which one to purchase. Most keyboards will also play it as an organ song, if desired, instead of the original piano. If you are unfamiliar with MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface), you will be amazed.

    As a trial, for you to listen to now on your computer, we give you a beautiful hymn: "Let There Be Peace on Earth." Press “Download” at the bottom to hear it. If you have a PC, Media Player should come up playing it on your computer--that is, if you can hear music through your computer. You can then save the file permanently, to transfer to your keyboard, by going to File and Save As. The File menu may not show until you run your mouse arrow across and off the Media Player window.

    [If you have a Mac, you will listen to it and then have to hit the browser’s “back” button to return to this page. To save it to your computer, prior to moving it to a keyboard instrument, just right-click the Download button and a menu will appear. Click on “Download linked file as…,” and choose where to store it on your computer. If your Apple mouse can’t do right clicks, email us and we will send the file by return email.]

    To play it on your keyboard, someone familiar with your own keyboard will have to be consulted, as each instrument is quite different. But it is not complicated at all. Playing the hymns is like selecting from a juke-box, usually just a matter of turning a dial and pushing a button. The sound quality will be the sound quality of your instrument.

    We should be able to give you all the directions you need to get it playing on your instrument, by email. Once you do it for one, you can do it just as easily for all of them.

    The list of hymns we have available now is below. If you have questions, or wish to receive via email the entire collection, please email us back. We will do our best to help bring this music into your church, as it is right now in ours.

  •   To order your free hymns, write to editor@ForPersonalHelp.com and include the name of your church and the email address you want us to send them to.
