The Hosanna Palm Sunday Kid’s Medley gives you 2 songs, a Scripture reading and underscore for your kid’s choir.

Notes from arranger/composer Don Chapman: Ideas for using the Hosanna Palm Sunday Kid’s Medley:

Change keys. As with all my arrangements, Finale files (.MUS) are provided which will allow you to change the key if you own Finale software. However, I do not recommend changing the keys as the underscore is designed to transition you from song to song in the keys I’ve selected.

Logo. A Photoshop file and TIFF file is included of the Hosanna logo so you can reproduce it in your bulletin.

PowerPoint file. A standard definition PowerPoint file is provided for the songs. Widescreen blank slides are included if you want to build your own slides in that format.

Split Tracks: These MP3s have the instruments on the left channel and the kid’s voices on the right - use these MP3s if you want to beef up the kid’s live performance.

Combined Tracks: If you plan on using tracks for your service, here's how the Combined Tracks work. Instead of building your service and burning a CD with the individual tracks in order (which is fine if you want to do it that way,) use the "Combined" tracks. The "Combined" track folders are MP3s with the songs and underscore that flow seamlessly one to the other. This way your worship will flow with minimal starting/stopping.

The "Stereo Tracks" and "Vocal Demos" folders contain all the songs and underscores as separate MP3s. Use these if you want more control over your service. Perhaps you want to perform the underscore live with narrators and a pianist, then sing with tracks, or vice-versa.

Powerpoint and some worship projection software will automatically play MP3s. Or try playing the tracks from an iPod or other MP3 player. Whether you go digital or use a burned CDROM to play the tracks, please make sure you test your setup with a full run-through!

All Glory, Laud and Honor: You probably never hear this hymn except on Palm Sunday. I’ve lowered the key from the hymnal to suit children’s voices. Since the hymn is so wordy I’ve only added harmony to the very end to make it easier.

Hosanna: I wrote this simple praise song based on Matthew 21:9. It’s catchy and super easy to learn - invite your congregation to sing along on the second time through the verse and final choruses.

Call to worship: The Hosanna Palm Sunday Kid’s Medley is upbeat - use it to open your Palm Sunday worship service. Then let the kids take their seats while you give a welcome & announcements, then continue on with your regular praise set.

Make all the copies you need for your entire kid's choir! As with all HymnCharts music, I give you permission to burn CDs, email MP3s, copy sheet music and charts and use worship planning websites - NO restrictions!
