about the hymnal Project
In early 2017 a group of artists, arrangers, and liturgists, led by Peter Prochnow, was commissioned through the Michigan District, LCMS to create several new hymn arrangements based on the original music. These are intended to facilitate enhanced worship in a multitude of modern musical contexts.
The spirit of the project is simple: Hymns are arranged with various instrumentations and made available free of charge, in the form of a lead sheet and reference recording, so whether you learn by reading or by hearing, you can easily implement these arrangements and modify for your context without cost.
We are grateful for the generosity of the donors, Carl and Patsy Fabry, in partnership with the Michigan District, LCMS.
“Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful.” “speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord” (Psalm 147:1; Ephesians 5:19)
