Christian Virtual Hymnal

The Christian Virtual Hymnal is a must-have software for churches that use hymnals like Celebration Hymnal, Hymnal for Worship and Celebration, 1991 Baptist Hymnal, Lutheran Book of Worship, With One Voice, 1989 United Methodist Hymnal, 1985 Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 1985 Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal, New National Baptist Hymnal (21st Cen. Ed.), and the 1990 Presbyterian Hymnal. This software contains almost all the public domain songs from these hymnals that provide flexibility in creating transposable sheet music with optional chord names/fret diagrams, transposable chord charts, and MIDI files for playing.

With over 3000 public domain hymns from the above hymnals included, transposing to any key, and reordering and deleting any verses, the Christian Virtual Hymnal offers unprecedented flexibility. Users can display SATB, lead sheets or chord charts (verses-only, no music, with chord names/fret diagrams) and see hymns on their screens exactly as they will print. Additionally, music and verses are the same as in the hymnals with no need to worry about copyrights, as all hymns and arrangements are public domain (No CCLI license is required).

By using the Christian Virtual Hymnal together with a sequencing program, users can replace an organist or quickly print out hymn verses for weekly bulletins or transpose hymns for the choir. The software offers different preferences to specify things like traditional 4 part harmony like the hardbound hymnals, melody only, alternate tune, reordered/deleted verses, chord names, guitar chord frames, and more.

During playing, users can change tempos and specify the number of times to repeat playing, specify different general MIDI instruments for the treble and bass clefs, and save hymns as MIDI files for use in other programs. The Christian Virtual Hymnal is an ultimate tool for flexibility, convenience, and ease of use, making it a highly recommended software for churches.
