The same goes for a lot of the music we use in our liturgies
at Saint Ann’s. Along with hardcopy
hymnals on our shelves, voicesasone.com, spiritandsong.com, giamusic.com, praisecharts.com,
and ccli.com are among the main sources of music for us. I also use musicnotes.com and sheetmusicdirect.com.
On any of these websites I can easily
find and purchase a title, then download it instantly. That’s very helpful if I
suddenly change my mind about a song at the last minute (or have forgotten to get the music!!!) At
checkout, I indicate the quantity and am billed accordingly. I will purchase
however many copies of a guitar/vocal arrangement we need. Online purchasing is a tremendous resource for
a lot of liturgical and mainstream worship songs that may not be in the current
hymnal on our shelves. Publishers are continually updating these sites as more
of their music becomes available.
Different publishers handle these in slightly different
ways, but for the most part you have the option to purchase a keyboard arrangement,
a guitar/vocal arrangement, a C, B-flat, or E-flat instrument part, or a
complete package or bundle of everything.
It's very cool.
I think it’s important to mention that publishers don’t want
you to…nor can they afford you to…purchase
1 copy and make 35 for your choir. If
you need to make 35 copies of a song, don’t forget to put ‘35’ in the quantity
box on checkout.
Many of the newer songs purchased online are not yet
available in a pew hymnal. This means you must purchase and exercise reprint
licenses from the publishers of the music you choose. We pay a yearly fee to do
so and report our usage according to each publisher’s guidelines. (Though, I’ll admit, I usually have to go
back and catch-up on my reporting!!!) Then, we can either print a disposable
songsheet, program, or project the lyrics on a screen.
So, if you haven’t already, checkout these websites where
you can not only purchase the music, but also listen to and purchase the
recordings as well.
