Queer Sacred Music

With more than 150 hymns, songs, and rounds on this website, I have provided several ways to find a piece of music.
If you want to browse among the scores, click on "All Scores" above.  The scores are in alphabetical order.
If you want to browse among the recordings, click on "All Recordings" above; recordings are in alphabetical order. In some cases, there are multiple recordings of the same piece with different styles or musicians.
If you are seeking to find a specific piece of music and would find it handy to have both the score and recording on the same page, I have provided an alphabetical list of pieces below, along with the sub-pages on which you can find scores and/or recordings (some pieces appear on multiple pages).
If you want to find a hymn or worship song in a particular music style (folk, Gospel, pop, text set to traditional music, etc.), go to the "Music Styles" page.
YouTube videos are linked on the YouTube Videos page and also linked on the topical sub-pages.
Text/lyrics for all but a few of the pieces (on the "Other Songs" page) will appear if you click on the "recording" button of a song/hymn/round on the relevant subpage, or if you click on the "Info" link for the piece on the "All Recordings" page. If you would like a copy of the text/lyrics for a hymn/song/round for which there is not yet a recording (or a recording or video for a piece that appears only in score form), please email me at amanda@amandaudiskessler.com and I will obtain what you need and email it directly.
