Our Hymns, Our Heritage
Essential Hymns Every Child Should Sing
Hymnal – Piano Accompaniment – Piano Recordings
Our Hymns, Our Heritage is Moody Publishers’ replacement title of the self-published book, Hosanna, Loud Hosannas which began the series.
The two books are very similar in content with the hymns in identical order so they can be used together. There is one traditional hymn addition, ”Be Still My Soul” and the addition of five African- American Spirituals. In order to make the book much more affordable, the full-color paintings were eliminated.
Hosanna in Excelsis!
Hymns and Devotionals for Christmas Season
Hymnal – Piano Accompaniment – Piano Recordings
Celebrate the coming of Christ by immersing yourself in the legacy of music that truly honors the Christmas season. One hymn per day for the Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany seasons. Hosanna in Excelsis is a devotional that couples the lyrics and score of a new hymn daily with a devotional message about the music’s biblical and spiritual truths.
USB Recordings at Hosanna Hymnals
What do you do if you do not play piano or even have one to play? How can you learn the hymns you may not know?
Obtain a copy of the USB Flash Drive with every hymn recorded on piano with all the stanzas for singing with an accompaniment arranged to help interpret the texts. These include a brief introduction, occasional interludes and occasional key changes, making your singing fit the emotion of the text. .
These professionally produced recordings can be used in a family setting or even in a classroom or small church Sunday School class, or a group Bible study.
Why do we use USB Flash Drives instead of CD’s or Streaming services?
- The amount of music for each book would require many CD’s and much shuffling to find the song you want.
- Hosanna in Excelsis contains approximately 4 hours of recordings and Our Hymns Our Heritage contains 6.5 hours.
- CD’s are no longer playable in newer model cars or on most home music systems–or even many computers.
- Although streaming is now the popular standard for music transfer, to purchase this many tracks, (86 and 120 respectively), would be very expensive. The USB Flash drive is much more affordable.
- The USB format of MP3’s is flexible to transfer to a phone or tablet once the files are downloaded from the Flash Drive.
This is our second of these hymnals, and I’ll probably get more so that our whole family can use them. I appreciate the background to the text and tune, as well as the devotional section. It’s a good selection of favorite hymns, in a book that’s easy for the kids to use. Our church hymnal is vast and heavy – this has fewer hymns but in the best way for our elementary ages kids. A great addition to our homeschool!
Great Student Hymnal
