Ideas:

Sing We Now of Christmas is the perfect performance piece to open a December praise set or your Christmas Eve service.

Reminiscent of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, I anticipate it being a popular arrangement here at Hymncharts so I've recorded it in the three most prevalent worship styles used by most contemporary churches:

• male WL and female BGV
• 3 part praise team / SAB choir
• SATB choir

The SATB choir version is a little different and has a separate download page (don't mix the two versions - they don't match!) I sometimes like to have a "WOW" factor arrangement to open a special service like Christmas or Easter. The SATB version starts in a pop/rock style then transitions on the 4th verse into a traditional acapella arrangement with intricate SATB parts (you'll definitely have to rehearse this one!)

Both versions end with a big instrumental “stinger” which you can follow with an upbeat praise song or Christmas carol. I guarantee your congregation will love it!

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.
