Music for His Service

Son Songs are provided as .zip files because they usually include more than one piece of music. If you need assistance in opening these files to get at the music, just ask. (See email address on the donations page.)

Several of these links will direct you to another of my sites where the arrangements are available for a small fee.

Mouseover the links for a little more information.

  • Son Song: All My Times - D Major; 4/4; Includes lyrics and parts for Keyboard, Guitar, and Horn in F. An original (Advent/Christmas) composition that can be a partner song with Jesus Loves Me.

About Son Songs

Son Songs are relatively simple accompaniments intended for use in worship services. Each Son Song may find a use for more than one tune because there are (usually) no complete melodies in a Son Song itself. If the meter and harmony fit the melody you're singing, you're all set!

The keyboard part of a Son Song can be played by itself to accompany the singers, but you'll likely want to employ a lead singer to guide those who may be unfamiliar with the melody. If you have more instruments at your disposal, you can add some or all of the other parts provided for a fuller sound.

If you use a Son Song in your worship service, let me know how it worked (or didn't) and how it was received by the congregation. I'm interested in any and all such feedback. Use the email address on the donations page.

Why are Son Songs not numbered consecutively? Let's just say that the clever (WELS) musician will soon discover one scheme or another used in numbering Son Songs.

For now, many Son Songs are free as long as you properly credit the arranger and mention where you got the music from, so others can hopefully enjoy using them as well. Donations are gladly accepted.

Son Songs are composed using Finale music software. If you need software that can read such .MUS files, you can download the free version called Finale Reader.
