We Are Expanding,
and we need your help!!

If you are a Sibelius user, love
Anglican and church hymnody and are willing to put in some time
helping to expand our site with out-of-print and not copyrighted
scores, email us and let's talk!
AND, as has happened so many times
before, if you have contacted us in the past and volunteered
your services, PLEASE do so again, as we lost all our electronic
files, and YOUR correspondence may have been a part of what we lost. So, Please be
patient with our goofy computers... and us, also!
Now, back to what we need to focus
upon, regarding our expansion of the Anglican Cyberhymnal.
We are now in the process of updating the sib files so that folk can print the music. While that will occupy most of our time for the forseeable future, we DO need help in other areas...
First and foremost, we NEED
to create the music settings for the minor propers
(introit, gradual, tract, offertory, communion, etcetera) as found in the Anglican Missal, and we'll be doing that for the entire liturgical year. If you
will help us, we'll send you a PDF copy of the settings from
the now out-of-print "THE ENGLISH GRADUAL - PART II THE PROPER
FOR THE LITURGICAL YEAR", edited by Francis W Burgess (published by the
Plainchant Publications Committee, Hyde Park Gate, London). As
there are approximately 110 masses to be done, we will be doing
them in seasonal batches, beginning with Easter. And, as an
added incentive, if you do at least two batches for us (not including
Trinity Season, which is counted as two itself!), we'll E-Mail
you a PDF copy of the whole book!
Other "to be dones" are the finishing of the mass settings and, of course, we are always interested
in more classical hymns, organ music and choral works (such as
the Tallis
and Byrd
pieces).
Our goal is to be the best resource online for classical Anglican/Episcopal hymnody, and that includes providing midis and printable copies
for all the music, and no doubt other projects we've not even identified at this time!
If any of this interests you, and
you are willing to devote some time to this endeavor, E-mail us and let us know that you would like to help, and with what, specifically. Please let us know also what kind of music - hymns, choral, mass settings, or other which we've not mentioned yet - you would be interested in putting into Sibelius.
And remember: don't be flat, don't be sharp, just be natural! (Gosh, I wish I could figure out how to stick the musical fonts into this program!)

We NEED YOU!
So please E-mail
