%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % This file is a part of the Open Hymnal Project to create a freely % distributable, downloadable database of Christian hymns, spiritual % songs, and prelude/postlude music. This music is to be distributed % as complete scores (words and music), using all accompaniment parts, % in formats that are easily accessible on most computer OS's and which % can be freely modified by anyone. The current format of choice is the % "ABC Plus" format, favored by folk music distributors on the internet. % All scores will also be converted into pdf, MIDI, and mp3 formats. % Some advanced features of ABC Plus are used, and for accurate % translation to a printed score, please consider using "abcm2ps" % version 4.10 or later. I am doing my best to create a final product % that is "Hymnal-quality", and could feasibly be used as the basis for % a printed church hymnal. % % The maintainer of the Open Hymnal Project is Brian J. Dumont (brian % dot j dot dumont at gmail dot com). I have gone through serious efforts % to make sure that no copyright mistakes make it into this database. % If I am in error, please inform me as soon as possible. % % This entire effort has used only free software, and I am indebted to % the efforts of many other individuals, including the authors of % the various ABC and ABC Plus software. Undoubtedly, I am also indebted % to all of the great Christians who wrote these hymns. % % This database comes with no guarantees whatsoever. % % I would love to get email from anyone who uses the Open Hymnal, and % I will take requests for hymns to add. My decision of whether to % add a hymn will be based on these criteria (in the following order): % 1) It must be in the public domain or freely distributable % 2) It must be a Christian piece % 3) Whether I have access to a printed copy of the music (surprisingly, % a MIDI file is usually a terrible source) % 4) Whether I like the hymn :) % % If you would like to contribute to the Open Hymnal Project, please % send an email to me, I would love the help! PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU % FIND ANY MISTAKES, no matter how small. I want to ensure that every % slur, stem, hyphenation, and punctuation mark is correct; and I'm sure % that there must be mistakes right now. % % Open Hymnal Project, 2009 Edition % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % PAGE LAYOUT % %%pagewidth 21.6000cm %%pageheight 27.9000cm %%scale 0.7500000 %%staffsep 1.60000cm %%exprabove false %%measurebox false %OHSCRIP Lk 2:29-32, Gen 49:18, Is 42:6-7, Is 49:6 %OHTOPICS {Assurance}, {Closing Songs}, {Comfort [1]}, {Darkness, Spiritual [4]}, {Eternal Life [1]}, {Faithfulness}, {God, Faithfulness of}, {God, Goodness of}, {Gratitude}, {Israel [4]}, {Jesus}, {Joy}, {Light [4]}, {Peace}, {Praise, Son}, {Promises (see also Gospel) [1,3]}, {Salvation [3]}, {Trust}, {Worship} %OHCATEGORY CLOSING SONGS %OHMETRICAL 8 5 8 4 7 7 %OHCOMPLEXITY 4 %OHCOMPOSER from Walter's Geistliche Gesangbüchlein, 1524 %OHARRANGER Praetorius, Michael (1571-1621) %OHAUTHOR Luther, Martin (1483-1546) %OHTRANSLATOR Bacon, Leonard Woolsey (1830-1907) %%postscript /st { moveto -8 0 rmoveto 0 8 rlineto 4 0 rlineto stroke } def %%postscript /nd { moveto -8 0 rmoveto 0 8 rlineto -4 0 rlineto stroke } def %%deco sintro 6 st 6 0 0 %%deco eintro 6 nd 6 0 0 X: 1 T: In Peace and Joy I Now Depart T: (also known as The Song of Simeon: Nunc Dimitis) C: Words: Martin Luther, 1524.
