Can I use music from HymnSite?
Yes! You can use any of the MIDI files that begin with the letters “umh.” I have tried to carefully select only that music which has no copyright restrictions at all. I prepared these MIDI files myself in my home on my computer with my keyboard, and I have no desire to restrict the use or distribution of these files in any way. You want to use them for your church? Go ahead. You want to put them on your web pages? Go ahead. You want to arrange parts for instrumentalists? Go ahead. You want to package them up and sell them? Go ahead. Really–NO RESTRICTIONS. The only request I make is that you do your best to ensure that God is glorified through the gift of music that He has given to all of us. Music is a way that people can share the message of God’s love in an enjoyable and memorable way. Visitors to HymnSite have told me that listening to the hymns and following the words on the page reminds them of times gone by when they stood in church with parents singing these great, old hymns.
