Imagine that you
are the pastor / song leader in a small
Latin American church. You want to enhance
your worship service with some excellent
hymns from the Spanish hymnal Celebremos
Su Gloria (published by Celebremos/Libros
Alianza).
But-
• The guitarist is sick.
• You don't have a musician who can
read music.
• You don't have any instruments.
• The pianist can't transpose for the
soloist.
• You want your people to learn a new
song, but they can't read the notes.
• The choir needs to practice in 3
or 4-part harmony.
What do you
do?
If only you had a little box - the size
of the hymnal - that could play any of the
nearly 600 songs in the hymnal, in any key,
at any tempo. You could use it to accompany
the soloist or the congregation. And, if
you could select one part to play by itself,
each section of the choir could learn and
practice their parts.That is why we have
developed GLORIA, the compact digital orchestra.
Not only can it do all of this, but it can
play with the realistic sounds of dozens
of instruments. And, each song has been
professionally recorded on six tracks in
an appropriate style, with a combination
of instruments already selected. But you
can also select your own preferred instruments
or combinations of instruments. All of the
music is stored in a memory chip inside
the box.
GLORIA is
totally self-contained. It runs on four
D size flashlight batteries, an AC adapter,
or a solar charged battery; and it has a
built-in speaker and 5 watt amplifier. The
sound volume is adequate for a group of
ten to twenty people. For use in larger
churches, a sound system, keyboard amplifier,
or guitar amplifier can be plugged into
the external audio jack.
The primary intent
of Gloria at present is to provide a worship
aid for use in Latin American and other
Spanish-speaking churches in conjunction
with the hymnal CELEBREMOS
SU GLORIA
. Nearly 200 of the hymns are of purely
Latin American origin. But about 400 of
the hymns and choruses are familiar in English.
There will undoubtedly be a demand for versions
for use in other countries and other languages,
and that will be addressed in the future.
The Gloria 2 Compact Digital Orchestra is now in stock, and available for immediate delivery!
Gloria 2 has the same features and hymn selections as the original Gloria.
