Ideas:

This modern, Worshiphymns.com arrangement works better in C major if you’re using it for a call to worship (a lower key will help warm up the voices of your congregation) but it does sound bright in D!

Worshiphymns arrangements have fewer sheet music parts with additional key options.

Synth lead: One of the “hooks” of this arrangement is the bass synth lead that slides 2 half steps – I have this noted in the synth pad/lead part. Your keyboard probably has a setting for the pitch wheel to have a two half step range. The setting also might be in the actual synth patch.

I think I can make an instrumental version of this arrangement, I’ll give it a shot in January after Christmas!

MP3 Problems?

Several subscribers have had problems downloading MP3s. Here are the 2 most typical problems and solutions:

1. How do I download the MP3s? MP3s and (if available) multitrack WAV downloads are found under the "tracks" tab. You can download these MP3s (or any files) to your computer by RIGHT clicking the button, then a little box will pop up with options. Select something like "save as"or "save link as" to manually save the MP3s to your computer where you can then burn a CD, email it to your praise team or upload it to a worship planning website.

2. The MP3 won't play in iTunes (or other media player.) All HymnCharts MP3s are free from ALL copy protection and can be used any way you want. Some people are clicking the MP3 button dragging it to iTunes or another media player. This won't work (you're actually just dragging the image file of the button!) Download the MP3 using the instructions above, then you can access it through your media player.
