🎵 Bringing Harmony to Order: Holy Covenant’s New Digital Choral Library

After years of faithful service — and hundreds of paper cuts — our church’s once-disorganized choral library has been reborn into the 21st century!

Thanks to the vision and tireless effort of Eric Miner, nearly 400 pieces of choral music have been catalogued, labeled, and lovingly preserved for generations to come. What began as cabinets of mixed-up folders and missing scores is now a searchable, cloud-based treasure trove of Holy Covenant’s musical heritage.

At the heart of this transformation is MusicLibrarian.net — a web-based system used by choirs, bands, and orchestras around the world to manage their sheet music libraries. With it, Holy Covenant can now:

• Track every anthem, hymn, and cantata in one online database
• Cross-reference pieces by composer, season, theme, or scripture
• Store performance history and program notes
• Even print barcode labels for easy check-in and check-out

📊 A Library with Depth and Detail

Each entry in the new system is packed with metadata — digital information that helps bring order and meaning to the collection. Holy Covenant’s choral library now reflects:

• 397 catalogued works representing over 120 composers and arrangers
• Music spanning five centuries, from early sacred classics to contemporary anthems
• Seasonal and liturgical tagging for Advent, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost
• Dozens of scripture references, linking anthems directly to biblical texts
• Detailed notes on voicing, part types, and accompaniment for easy worship planning

This level of detail transforms what was once a filing task into a living, searchable resource — a digital reflection of Holy Covenant’s musical soul.

A private donation was made to MusicLibrarian.net on behalf of Holy Covenant to thank the developers for providing this valuable — and entirely FREE — service to churches and music ministries everywhere. Their generosity made it possible for us to bring organization and accessibility to our growing library without cost to the congregation.

“This is a monumental leap forward,” said Worship Team Lead Ed Vickery. “Eric’s dedication, organization, and technical expertise have given our music ministry a tool that will serve directors, choirs, and worship leaders for years to come.”

“This is invaluable,” said Minister of Music Jon Weddell. “Eric’s work in organizing the choir room and creating the database have brought much needed attention, harmony, and order to our music ministry!.”
