Hear From Musicians Just Like You
"Hardly a day goes by when I don't log in to the CPH Music Subscription! This trove of resources regularly enriches our congregation's song. The Psalm settings provide our church and school ways to sing the full compass of the Psalter. The many choral and organ compositions on hymnody adorn our weekly services. The Music Subscription is also one of my favorite places to search for music from decades past. The treasures of compositions that may have been forgotten, no longer be available for purchase, or be lurking in brittle books in the deep recesses of music libraries are available with an easy search right here!" — Christina Roberts, Music Director for Our Savior Lutheran Church
"I serve a fairly large congregation with a dayschool. We have a large need for music of many types: Choral (adult and children), Handbell (adult and children), Organ, and Piano. I have used this subscription this past year (2023-2024) and will continue to use it annually. I was able to find three Christmas handbell arrangements that I used at our annual church Christmas concert. I utilized some simple Handbell Etudes for my 4th grade chime choir. There are many possible uses for organ music, as well. Simply using a fairly small amount of material each year will cover the cost of the subscription and make it worthwhile. In some cases, if you are printing many copies, you will actually save money. I'm grateful the publishing house is offering this service." — Nathan Steele, Kantor, Immanuel Lutheran Church
"I've had the CPH Music Subscription for 3 years now, and it has been worth it every year. As a director of music who also plays organ for service every week, it's a necessary resource. If I don't have a piece personally for any Sunday of the Church year, the Music Subscription is my go-to place to find what I need. Only once in 3 years have I not been able to find what I need within a search or two. The ability to filter and search by tune, season, instrument/voicing, and even composer is incredible! I highly recommend it for any musician in the church, as there is something for every instrument, voice, and congregation." —Nathan Pennington, Director of Parish Music, Immanuel Lutheran Church
"CPH's Music Subscription Service is an extremely helpful resource that is seriously the best buy in the market available today for those who plan, prepare, accompany, or lead traditional Lutheran worship. Having subscribed now for several years, I am pleased to see CPH's ongoing commitment to the service as they continue to make more helpful music available. I have an extensive music library, yet regularly benefit from what I am able to download from the service: introit antiphons, psalm settings, Verse of the Day, hymn stanzas for choirs, hymn introductions and preludes for organ, and even some instrumental music. That CPH makes all this available for such a low annual few attests to their commitment to serve the congregations of our belovèd synod. I look forward to seeing—and using—more music from this service in the years to come!" —Phillip Magness, Cantor, Village Lutheran Church
