THE MIDI ARRANGEMENTS OF
ADRIAN V. MILLER
Born in 1934, Kerkrade,
The Netherlands. Graduated
from college in 1955 with a degree in
Horticultural Engineering. Left for Vancouver, BC,
Canada, three days after
graduation.
For 12 years I had my own
business in Horticulture
and Pest Management. Then worked for
various provincial government ministries. In 1984
I obtained a Master of Pest
Management Degree
from Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, BC.
I opted for early
retirement in 1992.
I did a lot of Christian
reading early in retirement and started
to realize how utterly correct God's
Word is and that
the prophecies must be accepted literally. Although
active in
choirs, I never had any music training.
Then the most amazing
happened in 1997: Suddenly I started
writing lyrics for hymns, some
translations, many paraphrases,
but most entirely new lyrics. His Call was the
first one. I
soon realized that my Lord still had a job for me and
thank Him
daily for this sudden gift. To Him be the glory!

If any of you have the
time and resources
to create MIDI files,
I'm looking for people to help arrange
100+ more New Hope songs!
My general approach for background/accompaniment MIDIs is
1) Use a brief Intro
2) Keep the melody out front, but the accompaniment interesting enough to
support it. Descants, countermelodies and a variety of instruments are
fun!
3) Have sufficient repeats to cover all verses. OK to use an
occasional, brief interlude between verses.
4) When appropriate, repeat the chorus at the end.
5) A simple ending after the last verse/chorus helps wrap things up...
Yes, it's a very basic approach, but these MIDIs serve well as backgrounds on our
web sites, and as accompaniment in group singing around the world. They
are also popping up all around the Internet!
Other types of arrangements of our songs are encouraged (classical, jazz, SATB),
and each finds its place in our web sites.
