Half kidding, half serious though. 1
ZealouslyStriving Posted May 30, 2024 Posted May 30, 2024 I hope some songs by David Hyrum Smith- (born after the martyrdom) will be included- he wrote some beautiful hymns. Here is an example of one I truly love: 1

MustardSeed Posted June 2, 2024 Posted June 2, 2024 (edited) You know what I don’t like? That sacrament hymn “he died the great redeemer died.” I don’t like the melody at all, and dislike how the bottom drops out on the second to last line while the women just sing alone. In addition, I gotta sing that whole song with the beautiful “Behold the Great Redeemer Die” staring at me on the opposite page and I’m thinking WHYYYYY did she have to choose this instead of that! 🤪 Edited June 2, 2024 by MustardSeed 3
ZealouslyStriving Posted June 2, 2024 Posted June 2, 2024 You'll never guess what our closing song for Sacrament meeting is...

Most men are singing the melody so they should continue to sing the line. It is only those that are singing base or tenor (which can include women) that would technically not sing it (though they can always switch to soprano or alto for that line). 3

When I was growing up I always thought there were times when the women were supposed to sing alone and then times when the men were (I didn't understanding that it was about the notes and people's voices and that's what was supposed to determine who sang and who was silent). I wonder if there are still adults who view those sections that way. 1

I found the answer in this DN article: ”These new hymns should be used immediately,” said President Susan H. Porter, general president of the Primary, the church’s children’s organization.” 2

With only 13 available though, it won't take long to get through them all. 2

It was the Ward before us that sang #1001. I got there before our numbers were put up. No new songs for us- though I don't believe I've ever sung our closing hymn before.

Yes. In fact, our ward's music committee is discussing starting to do that within the next couple of months. 1
