Please enjoy these simple recordings and feel free to give suggestions and requests! Thumbs up?... What did you like? Thumbs down?... What can I change for you?
Keep in mind that the main purpose of these videos is to help folks learn harmony parts to hymns and not to sound perfect. These recordings will sound a touch raw for a few reasons; I am not a trained singer, I am using very simple recording hardware, my recording 'studio' is a coat closet that is just big enough for me to fit in. ( :
If you enjoy the way that these hymns are sang and want to experience them in person, stop by just about any church of Christ and they'll likely be singing them the same way. Without instruments.
My recording process:
-Record each part on a Rode NT1-A on to a Zoom H4 recorder
-Some pitch correction in Melodyne
-Mix in Mixcraft 6
-Combine audio and sheet music in Corel VideoStudio X7
-Music is typeset in Finale 2012 by me or borrowed from PDHymns.com
-Gear can be found here: www.zzounds.com...
To my knowledge, most of the hymns that I record and post are public domain (except the ones I've obtained permission for). If you notice one that is NOT public domain, let me know as soon as possible so that I can take that video down.
Be still, my soul, The Lord is on thy side
Bear patiently, the cross of grief or pain
Leave to thy God, to order and provide
In every change, He faithful will remain
Be still, my soul, thy best thy heavenly friend
Through thorny ways, leads to a joyful end
Be still, my soul, thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as He has the past
Thy hope, thy confidence, let nothing shake
All now mysterious shall be bright at last
Be still, my soul, the waves and wind still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below
Be still, my soul, the hour is hastening on
When we shall be forever with the Lord
When disappointment, grief and fear are gone
Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored
Be still, my soul, when change and tears are past
All safe and blessed, we shall meet at last
I just love listening to this song over and over and singing along especially with what's going on in the world today. It helps me to be calm
Church of christ a capella singing, even the note shapes says it all.. nice to sing early in the morning praising the Lord for another new blessed day!
And these words are what I am holding tight to in this sad time.
It is a very comforting hymn. Thanks for your comment!
@@acappellahymns1st vido that's the best
Beautiful. Thank you for helping me to learn this sweet hymn. The lyrics are awesome and so is the harmony. God bless you for your terrific ministry. Penny D. 🙋♀️
This song very much fits me right now. Be Still My Soul the Lord is on my side. forever.
i love this song
Very nice, I really have enjoyed your channel since I found it a while back. I love all the hymns, and as a musician, it really sheds new light on certain things. I thought this sounded familiar and it is. This is part of the classical piece "Finlandia" of which I played in symphony recently. Funny how things work out!
A Cappella Hymns I play trumpet. It's my main instrument I've been playing for nine years or so. I'm mainly a brass player. But I enjoy singing some, especially in the Church of Christ, where I am a song leader too. I really do enjoy music overall and Acapella hymns and praise songs. Aren't you a trumpet player too? Keep up the good work!
A Cappella Hymns Oh I don't mind saying! My congregation is Cameron Ave Church of Christ in Colonial Heights, Virginia. Been there my whole life, a great two decades haha! And tomorrow I am leading the singing anyways. It's good to know that you are still doing music in some way, too! Thanks for the replies!
A Cappella Hymns Thank you very much also! Getting back to the trumpet will be rough at first, as I have been off at times for a couple weeks and came back not able to play well right away. But it's all got better over time, and now I do a lot of fiddling on low brass. Thanks for the replies again too!
Haha! I like the unexpected bass drop at the end! Nicely done!
Beautiful 👍
Ecclesiastes 10:19
A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.
I love this song! But wouls like to hear the female counterparts also 🙂
Yeah, it's always good to have that balance. But since this is my main hobby, it's hard to give anything up. ( : I do have a handful of recordings with ladies singing the ladies part though. 😃
Ah, finlandia: the hymn.
can the songs listed or included in your channel be used in church gatherings?
The songs? Yes, no problem and no permission would be required from me. The recordings? Maybe. If that's the case, shoot me an email to AcappellaHymn@gmail.com
If you think modern worship music is wrong for following trends of secular music, think again. Tradional hymns followed at least one trend of secular muisc of previous generations. It used to be trendy to copy melodies of other songs as this one did, and other hymns as well.
