  • Reply to: What's the "1931-" about in Congregationalism?   3 days 10 hours ago

    This is a standardized designation made by DNAH for a denomination. They may have just used the most recent iteration of the denomination. Congregational Christian Churches, 1931- is a denomination formed in 1931. However, this hymnal was published in 1827, so it does not belong with this denomination; it belongs with “Congregationalist Churches.” We have not sorted out all the DNAH denomination designations.

    You might have to designate a link (but we do not allow linking outside of our website), or you can try the format “Full HTML”

     

  • Reply to: Anyone Know of Sheet Music for This Hymn?   1 month 2 weeks ago

    The Church was written by Wayne Walters and published in 1967 by Crusader Publishing Company probably as sheet music. The same year the copyright was transferred to Heart Warming Music (a division of the John T. Benson Publishing Company). You can find it in the 1970 book Heart Warming Songs Number 4, and it may be in New Songs of Inspiration Volume 8 or 9.

    Thanks for the interesting anecdote. I don't know of solid evidence, but your guess seems to me not only plausible but likely.

    It sounds like the MIDI file and recording might be limited due to copyright issues or restrictions on the music. Sometimes, only a portion of a song can be shared or accessed for licensing reasons. Have you checked if there are full versions available elsewhere?

    The authority ids do not accept special characters. Use the similar looking standard character, not a combination of characters; so for ä or å use a, for o̊ use o, etc.
