Traditional Hymns     From the Guestbook Just wanted to tell you that I love your site! I’ve purchased 17 of the charts (full orchestration) and it is just so perfect! I love being able to choose what key to do the song in — this is a life saver for the trumpets and saxes, otherwise they’d always have 6-7 sharps for a song in E. It’s is incredible! Thank you so much! (Daniel Semsen) You stand and deliver a touch of class you are true grit five stars and rising ... shine on. (Danny Haszard, Bangor Maine) I believe that PraiseCharts is one of the most valuable tools in my arsenal. I first heard of your website while I was at the 2000 International Worship Institute in Dallas, Texas. I didn't think I would ever use the site until I received some horn players. What a difference it makes to have all of the parts that you would need for a service. My band loves the arrangements, and the best part about it, is that we sound as if we are the studio band! Thanks to all of you, for making this available. God Bless.
