Notes
USES OF RECORDINGS: These songs have been recorded to help saints:
- Become familiar with the songs
- Learn the Words (for ALL the verses)
- Learn the Melody
- Perhaps even learn the Harmony Parts
... all with the goal of a local gathering being able to sing the spiritual songs together as an assembly, singing unto the Lord. (Eph 5:19; Col 3:16)
Here are some ideas how these recordings may be useful to this end:
- listen to become familiar with the songs, and sing along...
- give CDs to those in a local gathering, so you can all learn the songs and then sing them together when you meet
- play songs to your children so they learn them (bedtime, while playing...)
- make your own CD to learn to sing harmony (see below)
- give a CD to an older saint that may not be able to get out to meetings
LEARN HARMONY: For those who want to work on learning harmony, we currently have mp3 vocal recordings for learning harmony parts for Praise the Savior Ye Who Know Him, May the Mind of Christ My Savior and A Mind at Perfect Peace with God.
The 'Learn Tenor' recording for "Praise the Savior" has:
- Verse 1&2: tenor sung alone
- Verse 3: tenor plus melody quietly in background
- Verse 4: alto and bass added in background
- Verse 5: all the parts at balanced volumes
We plan, Lord willing, to prepare these recordings for additional songs. Midi files are also provided that follow this same pattern (your computer will 'interpret' the midi file using a simulated 'piano' playing the notes). Keep in mind that singing harmony is so that multiple saints can unify together as one combined voice around one object - the Lord Jesus.
