Unitarian Hymns Available

Hymn book codes designated by the number of verses Details: Organ only is the default and not stated.

  • 'alt' means a different instrumentation than organ or piano, perhaps beginning as a computer MIDI or other sound extraction
  • 'av' means available but not yet processed: it would take minutes to do. There is NO TUNE NAME GIVEN in these circumstances
  • 'basic' means a simple repetitive tune accompaniment, usually processed regarding tempo and pitch and perhaps like alt
  • 'Barton' means the words are sung by the choir at St Mary's Barton-upon-Humber (with odd word/s different)
  • 'choir' means the words are sung
  • '(damaged)' means the CD track jumped and has been recovered for singing but shows some signs of having undergone recovery
  • 'extra' means there needs to be direction to sing a verse or part again
  • 'fades' means tune introduced with a note to start and at the end a softened extended note
  • 'faster' indicates where editing has raised tempo and pitch
  • 'help' means that the hymn is accompanied by assistance, say by singing a verse before it begins
  • 'Penn' means played by former organist Marie Penn prior to retirement
  • 'piano' means piano instead of organ
  • 'process' means extensive music editing
  • 'slower' indicates where editing has reduced tempo and pitch (an alternative - otherwise not shown)
  • 'solo' means the words are sung by a soloist (with odd word/s different)
  • 'tape' means the origin is a cassette tape and involved extensive music editing by default
  • 'write' means a transcribed and created by me music score and sound file using MuseScore; whilst MuseScore generates several instrumental sounds the same organ default is assumed
HL Hymns for Living
  • The main hymn book
  • The intention is to build the contents to cover as many hymns as possible with intended or singable tunes, so this list keeps changing. A Hymn number given a tune means that the number of verses is correct.
  • Consultation from service takers about what is sung is appreciated.
SF Sing Your Faith
  • The main supplement
  • This could become the main book depending on use.
  • Use of av in the case of this book usually but not always means choir accompaniment. The church now has copies and service providers no longer need to provide print-outs.
  • A high number of tunes in it are difficult to source. However, given a number of days advance notice these can be composed, made and turned into played music using MuseScore.
HW Hymns of Worship
  • This book has been discarded and is redundant.
  • I have kept a copy.
  • These files exist for editing and use with other hymn books.
  • Therefore the files are unspecified regarding hymn numbers.
  • Lord's Prayer music is included here.
CC Hull Unitarian Church Christmas Carols
  • This book is the white one.
  • It replaces the yellow book.
  • The words in this book are changed for Unitarian use.
Note that the Hull Unitarian Church does not keep copies of Hymns of Faith and Freedom although hymns may be created (see HF) when service takers bring the words. There is one copy, but it contains no music, and there is one of UUA, Singing the Living Tradition, Boston: Beacon Press (see LT), that does contain music.
Hymns are kept as uncompressed .WAV files by default on computer, and as files on data (.WAV) and audio CDs (.CDA). Although these listed hymns are available, with tune names as given, music composing and sound editing software exists to match verses and available tunes to any hymn numbers and texts. Thus, with very rare exceptions, and with enough notice, a file can be created to match a hymn number with a suitable tune.
My composing abilities are limited to copying and then adjusting according to how a music output sounds. I enclose two examples of music composition: they are not perfect, as I am still learning, and some symbols are missing. One is  For You Shall Go Out  with added text below the score and the other is  Judas and Mary  (the core tune - the scores were turned into verses 1, 2/ 3, and 4 and joined from separate .WAV files) and these are in .XML format, that development from HTML with designer tags that now has such widespread use in such as word processing, spreadsheets, and PDF file writing overlays. Thus these files are read by virtually all music composing software, their application determined not by the .XML extension but by the initial coding in the header. If you view the files you will need to add
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE score-partwise PUBLIC "-//Recordare//DTD MusicXML 2.0 Partwise//EN" "http://www.musicxml.org/dtds/partwise.dtd">

above the displayed text (copy all then paste into a text editor, then add the above on top and save with the .XML extension) to make them active in music composing software. A simpler way is to right click on the links above and choose Save Link As in the drop-down menu and thus save the whole file to the computer.
