Pender Concert Series

Pender Piano

 

Beginning in 2013, the Pender United Methodist Church Music Ministry will be presenting a new concert series, in which we will periodically host fun musical events. These events will feature a variety of music genres and types of concerts. They will be presented by members of the Pender congregation as well as those from outside our church. Though the focus of these events will be the music, there will also be opportunities for fellowship, outreach, and mission, so keep an eye out for what’s coming up and ways to serve and participate!
The first planned concert in our series that we have coming  up is “Pender People Play Piano” featuring pianists young and not-as-young from within our congregation who will be playing solos, duets, and trios on our fantastic Baldwin piano in the sanctuary.

This will be happening February 1st at 7:30. Admission is completely free!

Music!

Christmas caroling accompaniments are available for free download from http://www.gbod.org. Save to disk or drive, take the “piano” with you.

From that link:

These piano accompaniments of familiar hymns are provided as free downloads as a joint project of The General Board of Discipleship and United Methodist Communications. They are intended to provide accompaniments for congregational singing for those churches which, for whatever reason, are unable to provide accompaniment for singing. You may find that you can also use them for choir, solo, or Sunday School use, Christmas caroling, or singing at any group setting. All accompaniments are provided without copyright. You may use them for any purpose without charge or having to seek permission.

In almost all cases, we have provided accompaniments from The United Methodist Hymnal (1989), with an introduction and multiple stanzas in the key provided in the hymnal. Occasionally an alternate harmonization is included. Watch for new hymns to be added in the future.

Also most of the Methodist Hymnal is available as sheet music (I guess that term is now defunct!) for the iPad. The app plays each hymn, as well.
