Church Music
Books and sheet music
If you are singing or playing church music we have a books and sheet music section, with everything from free downloadable sheet music to online shopping for hymn books and anthems. There's also a small section of books about church music.
Also, for instant download, we have our own guide to choosing church music for your wedding - click here for details.
CDs
In our CD section we have church music CDs by composer and choir and also CDs of music for special occasions, such as weddings.
Hymn Accompaniment CDs
We have an excellent value range of CDs to help if you can't get an organist. Music is an essential for everything from ordinary church services to weddings - but organists and keyboard players are hard to come buy. These CDs provide the music for hymns to sing along to, plus a range of organ voluntaries and music for special occasions like national anthems. Click here for more details of all CDs.
At the heart of our range is the six CD hymn accompaniment set - 138 hymn accompaniments on organ for just £37.99 including p&p, plus a range of extra CDs for special occasions - two Christmas CDs, the weddings 2 CD set, Wedding Pieces for Organ, the remembrance CD, and More Popular Hymns which contains 49 additional hymn accompaniments. You can also buy any of tracks individually, emailed as MP3s (just 99p per track and less in bulk), or on CDs. Click here for more details of all CDs.
CD of the month
The Sacred Flame - Cambridge Singers 
I'll be honest, my mental image of the Cambridge Singers is
of rather heavy handed singing, suitable for John Rutter's jolly carols,
but not exactly competition for the Sixteen. However in this collection of
Renaissance and Baroque they have proved they can do subtlety too. The
Monteverdi pieces bounce along
with just enough lightness. There's a wonderful range of the best music
here. Gesualdo's O vos omnes, for example, is full of 'he can't do
that!' moments - it's electrifying. Buxtehude's chunky and jubilant
Magnificat adds a little light relief among the exquisite likes of
Victoria and Josquin Desprez... and it runs through neatly through Schütz
to the (relatively) trendy 'new' music of Mr Bach. All in all a great
collection.
