Ideas:

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing 2018 is a part of the Christmas Medley 2 and I liked it so much I've broken it out into a single arrangement.

The version in the medley starts upbeat and is led by a male worship leader, so I've changed this "free-standing" version by lowering it a few keys to D major so it can be led by a female worship leader.

Now the arrangement starts out quietly and builds to a pop feel - try using it to open a December service or use it during your offertory.

The sheet music is not merely transposed - I've adjusted the piano and instrumental parts to best fit the lower key.

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.

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.
