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.

This has been a really popular question! Try downloading the free HymnDisk Floppy from The HymnStore at http://www.HymnSite.com/hymnstor.

All of the materials from the HymnDisk Floppy and more are also included on HymnDiskCD#1, which can be ordered online for sales in the United States.

HymnSite.com is a one-person operation by me, CARadke. It began when I started posting a site on the internet in 1996 just to see if I could do it. It first appeared under the name of a childhood pet, Bandit the Boston Terrier, and I started posting some midi files on a page called "Bandit's Methodist Hymns." In 1997, I registered this domain name which has a more natural relationship to church music. Bandit's site is gone. Have no fear, though.

I started this online ministry in 1996 and have not requested or accepted donations to support it. I have personally paid all charges for equipment, software, online access, domain registration, and site hosting. As of December 2000, I began selling HymnDiskCDs through the HymnStore. You are more than welcome to use this site whether or not you purchase a CD. Materials that are free today will remain free as long as I can keep this site online.

Some people concentrate better when music is played; others work better without it, especially when focusing on difficult problems.You can use the included music tracks or add your own. These can also be combined with sound effects or voice tracks. ChatterBlocker comes with the following music tracks. Most of these are ambient loops, sort of a cross between music and sound effects, which may be suitable for combining with other ambient music loops.

Many of the melodies in the Sacred Harp are also found in ballads, dance tunes, and other songs in the oral tradition of the United States and the British Isles; many other melodies resemble folk tunes in their melodic contour, scales, and phrase structure. These songs are sometimes called "folk hymns," even when the hymn texts are by Watts or other known poets.

Breatheasy Classical is the original program with the finest masterpieces of all time. Composers include the "greats" such as Beethoven, Bach, Mozart and Brahms along with a few lesser-known surprises.

Your cat will certainly dance with you without music but I think one of the most important things about playing music when you're dancing with your cat is the effect it has on you. I'm sure it helps us become more involved in the dance and that helps get our energy levels up so that our cats are more likely to join us in the dance. Some people claim that drugs like catnip or valerian really get their cat going, while others claim they have the opposite effect.
