Here you can access some files which reflect a publishing effort which has been going on for a number of years. One hymnal has been published under the title Melodies in Our Heart. I’ve been able to accumulate more material for a second publication. Now all I must do is whip up the energy / enthusiasm. We’ll see. . . In the meantime, I hope you will find things that will be refreshing.
These files are accessible through the fine musical notation programs available through FinaleMusic. I’m not certain if the shape note font, EngraverFontExtras, is available in all of Finale Music’s programs. I assume it is. Also, links are provided to access the files in PDF format. I plan to place the entire hymnal in this format for easy printing and use. In the future, I may include a midi file for each so the melody and harmonies will be easier to learn. If you would like a midi file on any of these songs, just post a request and I will try to accommodate.

The next group of files are a few of the ones pending publication. The copyright stipulations apply here also.
So . . . a little of Melodies In our Heart II:
Shirley Cox:
David Dickerson:
Ephesians 5:18 & IThesalonians 5:18
Louis Garbi:
Marc Hermon:
Cherris Lehman
Steve Wright:
The following are download links to .mp3 files, a sampling of the above hymns sung by brethren. The first links are the files that have been previously compiled into two CDs – Melodies 1 and Melodies 2. I intend to round up some odds and ends that were of the intended second publication. We hope you enjoy them and that they may brighten your day!
Louis, do you have a song called “Precious Jesus” in your collection that isn’t published? I have only one copy and I was hoping to find it in your safe keeping.
I appreciate any help you can give me.
In Him,
Cherris
Cherris,
I sent you and email on that. . .
Godspeed,
Louis
Louis,
I am thinking about undertaking the task of converting these .mus files into power points to be used on projection systems. I tried using power points to lead the song service last night and the difference in singing when everyone is looking up is absolutely amazing. We are planning on doing some things with this for the 2014 Two Week meeting. What is your e-mail? I will send you a few once I work it out to get your comments. Anyway, I had some problems downloading some of the files here:
49 His Majesty: it has the wrong link but I guessed the correct link and got the file
61 Ask of Me
74 Abraham
77 Crucified
83 We Praise the Lord
Cherris: Heaven’s Shores
Steve W: Day is at Hand
