YOU FOUND IT! DOWNLOAD OUR FREE "HYMN OF THE MONTH" (Or whenever I get around to it!)
Here’s where you can always find a free mostly-monthly hymn download! Check back with us regularly and see what’s new!
This month we are offering two hymns for the Advent/Christmas season – “Hark! The Glad Sound” (Richmond), one of my favorite Advent hymns, and “Sing We Now of Christmas” (Nöel nouvelet), which uses a tune found in the Easter Collection, but I have always associated it more with Christmas. Both hymns come complete with score and parts for brass, timpani, winds, strings, piano and guitar. Simply click on the links below or search for the hymns by name, and add them to your shopping cart. You can then check out without paying anything and download your hymn arrangement. While You’re in the neighborhood, please check out all the other Advent and Christmas hymn arrangements. I’m in the process of updating the Advent collection and adding string parts. If you need strings on any of these, please let me know and I’ll add them for no extra charge.
