Hymns Qtmusic For Your Church Services

Church Music Company has created a solution for small churches that cannot seem to find or keep a piano player! Is the world's first and largest producer of an all-inclusive piano accompaniment tool housed with 100s of specially recorded hymns, designed for small churches to use for congregational singing. Hymns for use in Church Services Over the past few weeks many have been in touch to ask if we could provide hymn recordings from the Aber Conference to include as part of online Church services. We are thankful to be able to offer a number of hymns. Nov 06, 2012 However, CCLI only tracks songs under copyright, and does not track the activity of songs in the public domain, most notably the great hymns of the church. Below is a list of the top 25 hymns sung in church today. To create this list, we combined the sales from a traditional arrangement and a contemporary arrangement of each hymn for the past four years. How Great Thou Art 2. Great Is Thy Faithfulness 3. Blessed Assurance, Jesus Is Mine 4. All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name 5. With the wide variety of music in our churches, this site seeks to provide a number of recording styles: Pipe Organ hymns suitable for traditional churches.; Piano.There are the un-emblished 'simple piano' and the embellished 'mainly piano' recordings which are suitable for playing in those churches which prefer a piano to the organ, or in small groups or home church environment.

The following videos may be used in online and recorded worship services by Unitarian Universalist congregations. The music that follows does not require additional permission for online use (see sidebar). However, we ask that you provide full attribution to the composers and lyricists on your screens, not just verbally, for each piece that you incorporate into worship.

Please note that these selections are intended to ease our collective transition into the sometimes confusing world of online worship. They're shared in the spirit of supplementing your existing resources and should not be interpreted or used to justify decreasing the wages or positions of professional music staff.
