I (Alyece) am a "researcher" by nature. I find a subject or person and research it to death. Generally, before I purchase from a company or attach my name to anything, I want to know the history behind how it came to be and its objective. In case any of you are like I, let me take a minute to educate you on His Song: What's its purpose? What is it exactly that we do? Why His Song?
While David and I were working in a ministry, God began to burden our hearts for ministries around the world who did not have the musical ability in their churches that we had. Why should smaller or less musically-gifted churches be hindered because music can be hard to find? We talked nonstop and dreamed for hours how we could serve ministries of any size and ability. I admit, some of our music is difficult. David's mind sometimes goes into musical genius mode, and he wishes to write the most difficult song and orchestration possible. Any of our more difficult pieces are perfect for sacred competitions or college choirs and ensembles. We have had several schools and colleges use these for that purpose. But the majority of our music is made for the "average" church. We have soundtracks if a church wishes to have the full orchestral feel or orchestration available. We have serviced both to churches. Not every church has a piano player that reads music well; any song also has a piano track available upon request. We have vocal solo music, instrumental and piano music that can be used for specials or offertories. We have audio CDs (vocal and instrumental) that we have recorded, also available on the website. The songs that we have written are words that God has laid on our hearts, whether through experience, Bible study, or a specific request from a church, We strive to make our music God-honoring and not fit a specific style. We believe what the Bible says in Ephesians 4:19, "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;" We have verses and passages put to music so Scripture is memorable (psalms), hymns that have been rearranged to emphasize the familiar words (hymns), and testimonial songs in praise for what He has done (spiritual songs). Besides writing music and making it available, what else do we do? As of 2020, we began traveling, not to promote His Song, but to minister to churches. But specifically in the day to day? We do a variety of projects. Our desire has always been to reach the individual church's music needs and make them a reality. We have been hired to create soundtracks for churches-orchestral or piano. We do the soundtracks for college CDs. We write out music for other people who do not have the capability or software to do so, then in return, they can sell it. We do not publish someone else's music. We make it possible for anyone to self-publish. We write sheet music for songs without music. We also give private lessons (voice or instrumental) in our home or virtually. What it all comes down to is a desire to help music ministries however and whenever we can; we exist to serve the local church and its individual musicians. When choosing a name for our ministry, David was adamant that its name be His Song. He wanted something that deflected the praise from us and sent it to God. It is a constant reminder every time we sign "In His Song" that we do not do any of this ourselves, but rather through God's grace. As always, thank you so much for entrusting us with your music needs. It is amazing that God allows us to help Christian colleges, church plants, local churches, or just faithful servants that are doing their best for their own churches. We love seeing and being a small part of what God is doing around the world! We never take for granted the opportunities that God sends our way, and we look forward to helping many more ministries this year! In His Song, David & Alyece P.S.
