For about 35 years I served as Pastor in several smaller Churches, some of which were very small new churches that were just starting. In some of these, I also doubled as the Church musician. These days it is often hard to find suitable musicians to accompany congregational singing, either because the younger musicans don't like playing the 'grand hymns of the faith' or we older players sometimes struggle with the style of the newer music. In seeking to address this need, which is often accute in small churches, home groups, age care facilities etc, and through the encouragement of a Christian friends, I have created this site whose primary aim is to: (or minimal cost in the case of copyrighted music.) If you are or have been a Church Musican, and would like to freely share your playing with others, then you are encouraged to share your music with the whole world through this site. In this way, your gifts can continue to be used by God to help Churches with their music, and to help those who may like your style of playing. (Please contact me by e-mail). (Note: My desire is to provide 'live' playing of the hymns and songs rather than 'midi transcriptions' that can tend to be pretty lifeless. However, because of the requests to provide midi files of new songs, and given the fact that I have great difficulty getting into the timing of the modern music (I'm too old for the off beat music), I have transcribed the score to midi files in some cases. Click here to see these transcriptions.. I would love to replace these transcriptions with live performances.) |
