News
June 2019: We are making an increasing number of recordings available through SoundCloud this means we can, when given permission from the copyright holder include hymns that are currently in copyright. As well as being available in the Soundcloud App, the recordings should soon become available through other streaming services, such as Spotify and Apple Sounds. However, with about 1,000 hymns to upload, this may take some time.
Latest innovations
-
- Hymns transposed to a lower key. This is a collection of hymns that have been requested by our followers for congregations that sometimes struggle to each the high notes! Please Click Here to request another hymn in a lower key.
- Instrumental Pieces which are a combination of pieces to provide music before and after services, as well as those gaps in the middle. Please Click Here to request any other pieces you might want for your church for baptisms, weddings or funerals, or indeed any other need.
- By special request a series of hymns have been recorded using a brass band – these lively recordings can really uplift a congregation as the smiling faces at a recent service testified! If you think any other hymn needs the brass band or orchestral treatment, please let me know.
