I am a composer of the 21st Century Christian Classics. I have two great musical works - a Classical Oratorio work titled "THE BEATITUDES", and a Christmas Carols work titled "CHRIST'S BIRTH CAROLS" newly composed by me and given out free of charge to the public. I dont know how to upload them to Hymnary.org, but I have successfully uploaded them to International Music Score Library (IMSLP).The superb Classical Oratorio has 16 pieces arranged for Solo voices, Chorus and Orchestra. Also the Christ's Birth Carols work has 11 excellent Carols for rendition during Christmas season. The Scores and Audio Recordings are available for download free of charge. I want music lovers to download the music and go through them and make their ratings/ comments. The Classical Oratorio can be downloaded from this link: https://imslp.org/wiki/The_Beatitudes_(Akpabio,_Progress_Gabriel) . Also the Christ's Birth Carols can be downloaded from this link: https://imslp.org/wiki/Christ's_Birth_Carols_(Akpabio,_Progress_Gabriel) . I would also like to know how to upload them to Hymnary.org. The two works have been registered with the Nigerian Copyright Commission, and I am the copyright owner.

Thanks.

The Oratorio is outside of our scope, as we focus on hymnals. "Christ's Birth Carols" looks like a hymnal and it could be added. There is training involved if you want to add the hymnal. The training materials may be found in our wiki https://hymnary.org/wik ihttps://hymnary.org/wiki. Or Hymnary staff can add the hymnal for a fee to cover our costs.

Thanks for your information. Yes The Christ's Birth Carols is a new hymnal for use by Churches/ Christians. But I am not using my compositions to make money. I am giving them out free of charge to the public so it can get to the reach of all. If I add it to Hymnary.org, I am not doing so in order to sell and make gains. So I would appreciate if you can add it free not for me, but for the owner who is Jesus Christ so it can be available for his church. He will bless you abundantly. Thanks.

Hymnary staff will not add the hymnal for free; but you may go through our training so you can add the hymnal yourself.
