David Hepburn is a retired minister-of-music, choir director, band director, missionary, teacher, and school president, and a fine tenor and trumpeter. His many compositions are a testament to the works of Jesus he has seen in the lives of others and in his own life. David once said, "I've been writing a lot more songs lately with scripture for lyrics, and it's been working very well. You know, God said 'My word shall not return void,' not, 'your lyrics shall not return void.' If you want to write music that changes people's hearts, why would you try to improve on scripture?" The first of the two short pieces here is a Mozart-like setting of Philippians 4:4, in which Paul urges Christians to "Rejoice in the Lord always, and again, I say, rejoice!" David wrote this for his musical production of the book of Philippians, and the joyful encouragement of the verse comes out in this playful song for unaccompanied SATB choir. The second piece is joyful treatment of the word Hallelujah, which is Hebrew for "joyous praise to God." Scored for SATB choir and piano, the meaning of this phrase is well-explored in brief. REJOICE IN THE LORD and HALLELUJAH by David Hepburn for SATB choir comes in a pdf file of 221K, with two four-page scores and a license page, nine pages in all. Performance time should be about one minute each. MIDI sound sample: Both pieces in entirety.

IN THE DOWNLOADABLES BUSINESS OVER TEN YEARS! Visit our hard goods division at A customer commented: "This was a first for me: downloading a book instead of buying it in paper form. The cost of the book in this format was less than many firms charge for shipping an item. I had not a single glitch and I would buy another book in this format with no reservations. Tributek did a good job." Another customer commented: "I would like to compliment you on the ease of purchasing music on-line. I require the music for a wedding in a couple of weeks, and didn't want to wait for music to be sent in the mail. It was great to be able to hear the music and to know the length of the PDF file and performance time." Another customer writes: "I bought some choral music off your site. It's great. I hope we can do all of it in our church. I don't know how you can sell it so cheap. It's a great service you offer."
