I've arranged the Christmas Medley 2 to be exceptionally versatile and EASY for your Christmas worship. At six minutes long, try using the Christmas Medley 2 as a mini 3-song praise set to open a December Sunday or Christmas Eve service. No matter your style, the Christmas Medley 2 will fit your congregation with parts for worship leaders, praise teams and easy 2 part choirs. Here are some features:

One tempo & key: The entire Christmas Medley 2 is in the key of F major and is 114BPM so set your click/multitracks and you're ready to go.

Simple vocals: The Christmas Medley 2 has the men entirely on the melody with female harmony/BGVs (background vocals.)

Slice and dice: Use the first two upbeat songs only of the Christmas Medley 2 to start your praise set and add your own popular Christmas worship ballads.

Guitar Spotlight: This MP3 exposes electric, acoustic and bass guitars so your players can hear their parts more clearly - electric hard left, acoustic hard right.

Ladies Demo: I've turned the ladies up and everything else down so your altos and sopranos can learn their parts by ear.

The modern worship lyrics trend for projection is to leave out most punctuation for a clean look. The original hymncharts lyrics text file contains punctuation. Our website hymndex.com was created to help churches build hymn lyric slides without punctuation.
Instruments mp3s are the arrangements played one time through with just piano and instrumental parts to give you an idea of the orchestration. In the early days of hymncharts before I made vocal recordings I had created these instruments mp3s as a quick demo. Since I now create both a POP and an ORC (orchestrated) mix I no longer make instrumental mp3s for newer arrangements.
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.
