ServiceMusic

Our aim is to provide your church with music of quality and integrity, with cost and copyright hassles eliminated as far as is reasonably possible. Your church, whether large or small, should find most items readily accessible and flexible enough to suit your local resources.

The items are in a wide variety of styles, from choral to music-group and blues/jazz. There are hymns, psalm settings, liturgical pieces, modern worship songs, and arrangements, for congregations, music groups and choirs.

Texts by Timothy Dudley-Smith, Brian Wren, Andrew Pratt and George Herbert are given settings here. There are also, for those so inclined, appropriate new texts sympathetically set to Gershwin and Lennon/McCartney tunes.

This catalogue continually increases: usually every couple of months or so something is added or revised.

Internet download: free availability

Most items are freely available for normal church use, subject to your acceptance of my copyright and, where applicable, that of those other authors and publishers who have granted permission for use of their material here.

The scores are PDF files, a reader for which is freely available from Adobe.

In the making of music,
you have given us
    a delight for the mind
    and a solace for the heart.
By the harmonies of your grace
resolve the discord of our lives,
that we may sound forth your praise
    in all we do and all we are.

Very Revd. Peter Baelz
Dean of Durham
