Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed? - To a traditional Irish tune "Moorlough Shore", better known as the tune to "The Foggy Dew" about the Irish Revolution. Of all the settings for Alas, this one gives me chills! (midi) Added 10/31/2009
All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name - Powerful! (midi)
Amazing Grace - Best hymn ever (imho), with one verse in Navajo (hope it's right!) (midi)
At The Cross - Isaac Watts rocks! (midi)
Awake, Awake To Love and Work - Beautiful minor-mode melody from the Kentucky Harmony, 1815. Lots of octave changes and upper octave work. (midi) Here's a recording of this one done as an offertory, on Native American Flute and vocals, complete with mistakes.
Be Still, My Soul - Beautiful prayer for solace, set to Sibelius' Finlandia- easy to play! (midi)
Be Thou My Vision - Slane, an old Irish folk tune; words translated from 8th Century Irish (midi)
Come Away to the Skies - Charming melody from Southern Harmony (midi)
Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing - Great whistle tune, words get me every time! (midi)
Come, Ye Thankful People - Popular Thanksgiving hymn, nice on whistle! (midi) Added Thanksgiving Day (US), 2009
Deus Salutis (Llef) - Welsh melody and words. Gorgeous! (midi) Added 12/15/2009 by request
Do Not I Love Thee? - Wonderful primitive tune from Southern Harmony (midi)
Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah - Beautiful Welsh tune, Cwm Rhondda. Version in D avoids half-hole notes, but is much higher. (midi in A) (midi in D) Added 11/29/2009 by special request
How Firm A Foundation - Beautiful Early American Tune, great words! (midi)
In The Garden - One of my mother's favorites. One tricky note. (midi)
It Is Well With My Soul - Melancholy and beautiful, beware one G# (midi)
Prayer in E Minor - My own composition (midi) Added 12/21/2009
O, the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus - Same tune as "Once To Every Man and Nation". Play it faster than you are used to - it has a sea-shanty feel that matches the words! (midi)
The King of Love My Shepherd Is - Psalm 23, set to "St. Columba," a pretty Irish Melody. This tune is good to learn, then add ornamentation as the whistler advances. (midi)
Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus - Popular early 20th-Century gospel hymn, beware two accidentals! (midi)
Whispering Hope - A good, old 19th-Century gospel hymn. (midi)
Wondrous Love - Hauntingly beautiful early American hymn, minor (Dorian) mode (midi) Here's a homemade recording, on a homebuilt high whistle, a Chieftain Low D, and homebuilt mandolin. Very homey, eh?
