If your church has a praise band, I'm sure you're struggling with hymns. Every church where I've worked struggles with them. The contemporary praise group usually avoids them and the traditional group constantly asks for them. Worship leaders, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about (and I bet you can think right now of names and faces from each group!) I decided to do something about it. I like to solve problems and this one is huge. I've discovered the key problem is that hymns are written for pipe organs, not guitars! Hymns don't groove, and therefore don't really blend with today's praise and worship sets. The chords change on nearly every beat and guitarists don't like that. They want to strum a while and build momentum (and groove.) And here's my secret to HymnCharts: I smooth out the chord structure of hymns (generally no more than 2 chords per measure) and give them a little contemporary twist. Your problems with combining hymns with choruses don't stop with guitarists, either. Most pianists pound the keys (that's how I was taught in my piano lessons - to whip up and down the piano to carry the congregation!) HymnCharts tones the keyboardists down, teaching them to play rhythmically and appropriately. These arrangements will blend your guitarists and keyboardists into a tight group. HymnCharts are all about making hymns flow with contemporary worship. You really won't believe your ears. These hymns take on a new life and you'll discover they're really praise songs in disguise! I'm very pleased with these arrangements. During our test phase, the churches that worshipped with HymnCharts found them to be wildly successful. And I mean wildly. In fact, incorporating these charts into worship has been the most successful thing I've done in my 20 years working in the music ministry. Why? A big reason is everyone's happy! These charts are contemporary enough for the praise band and yet still have appeal for a traditionalist. I've found that people want to sing hymns, but they don't necessarily want to sing them the "old fashioned" way. I've had a mid-twenties rocker and a 60+ woman tell me they love this stuff. When was the last time you've had two extreme age groups love the same music? From one of our customers:
I guarantee that subscribing to HymnCharts will be the best thing you can do to bring your church together in worship.
