Music on Compact Disc

This page does not use the SLT2016 data set. In addition to quantitative data, it contains some qualitative input (degree of difficulty assessments).

Before using this page, you should make sure that the song choice is appropriate for congregational use. You can check the listing in the [Index of Hymns] for more information on a selection.

Most all of the selections on Music in the Air and Bring Many Names have vocals. Singing along with some of them can be very difficult. To assist, they have been assigned "movie ratings". See [Key to Codes] for a deeper explanation.

Our current CD collection of prerecorded music is listed below. To play a particular song, look at the accompanying list of titles and select its track number. The CD and song list should be with the boom box.
