Ron Tilden (Georgia)
I moved down to Georgia
about 25 years ago after leaving the
Chicago, Illinois area, where I was born and grew up in.
I worked as a Computer Consultant for many of the
large companies over the years. The last company I worked for
I was consulting for IBM here in the Atlanta area.
I just retired at the end of last year.
I have a wonderful wife and three children,
two girls and a boy and one granddaughter that has Down Syndrome.
My son has a disability called Kleinfelter’s syndrome which is caused
by having both the male and female chromosome, so he has 47 chromosomes
where normally you would have 46.
I enjoy making midis as a
hobby and have been doing it for about 15 years.
I am not a musician at all. I cannot play any instruments.
I use software to make the midis from sheet music.

I just happened upon
this wonderful web-site.
Now I have your music softly playing at my desk at work all day...
(Janie, from
Mississippi)
Two choirs in Cape Town,
South Africa recently sent me a recording
of them singing several New Hope Music songs,
using six of these MIDIs as their accompaniment tracks!
Learn more about these South African groups...
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.
I am in search of some
free music that I can
incorporate into the introduction of my church podcast.
I am doing this for Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church www.grace.to
Do I understand this
correctly, that your midi's are ok to use on podcasting
as long as we credit newhopemusic.com? Please
help me out with this....

Florida)
