3Rivers Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Anyone know of a catchy tune for learning the Books of the New Testament? I browsed You Tube and there were a lot, but none that really had a tune you could remember or that actually helped. :bigear: Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 http://ldsscripturerock.com/downloads/downloads.html I have to say... this is the best I've ever heard!! Now, I'm not LDS, but I LOVE his music... and I just loaded the songs I like. The YouTube above is kinda how the whole things sounds... Their Old Testament and New Testament... is just straight from the Bible (KJV) and I just take out any LDS scriptures they include. Really... it was very easy to do. So.. no worries about translations:-) Very good:-) :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy the Valiant Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 There's an old hymn . . . "Bring Them In" . . . the NT book titles fit that tune. I know a couple of others, too, but . . . yeah, I'd have to sing them to you. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodland_Mom Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 This is the absolutely BEST song! A group called "Go Fish" sings the song. It is on a cd called "SNAZZY" I don't think we'll ever get tired of that CD. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63UlqUyg8FI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodland_Mom Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Thanks, for posting again, Carrie. I did get to listen to the New Testament song. I like the song I posted better! :D Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63UlqUyg8FI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savmom Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I learned the Books of the Bible song in kindergarten and I STILL use it to look books up to this day (learned it 30+ years ago). It doesn't reference books that have 1st or 2nd, but that is easy to learn once you know all the main names. I don't know where it came from but The Old Testament is sung to the tune "This Old Man" and the New Testament is sung to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". First verse of OT (notes written between words to give you an idea hope it's not confusing): This old man He played one G E G G E G Gen-e-sis Ex-o-dus He played knick knack on my thumb A G F E D E F Levit-i-cus and Num-bers too, With a knick knack paddy wack E F G C C C C Du-ter-ono- my, Josh-u-a, give the dog a bone, this old C D E F G G D Jud-ges a-and Ruth, Sa-muel, man came rolling home D F E D C Kings and Chron-i-cles. NT Twin-kle__Twin-kle_lit- tle__star, Mat-thew, Mark,___Luke and John, HowI won-der what you are? Acts, Ro-mans, Cor-in-thians.

Woodland_Mom Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I could almost hear you singing your song. :lol: Isn't it great when we find something to help us remember important things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Rivers Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 Thanks, everyone! ONE of these has got to work...well, except for the ones that are stuck in your heads and will keep me always wondering what they were. ;) Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monalisa Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 You may have enough ideas, but we have the Wee Sing Bible songs CD (about $9) and have found the NT & OT songs really good (easy to learn); I bought a poster at the educational store w/ the books of both posted on our school room wall, and we sing along and follow along (my dd memorized both NT & OT within a week with this).

3Rivers Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 OH yeah--I had forgotten about the Wee Sing series. I might even have the book in my piano bench. LOL I'll check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the addresses is for the New Testament...one for the Old:-) :-) You might enjoy these versions from the church web site too. There are recordings you can download with and without the words (these versions have kids singing for these two songs), and there's an interactive version where you can change the key and the tempo, and change the volume of the melody and accompaniment (which helps if your kids have a hard time picking out the melody from the accompaniment, you can just fade out the accompaniment and hear just the melody). It also lets you print out sheet music in whatever key you prefer. There are lots of other good songs for kids as well as hymns there that you can do the same thing with too, the majority of which (I think) are not specifically LDS, though some certainly are.

MamaSheep Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) Thank You SOOOO much!!They really are beautiful. I'm glad you like them. :) The NT one makes me giggle a little because it's set to the tune of a Scottish folk song, and we have a CD of drum and bagpipe music that ds likes to listen to that has that tune on it too. Everytime it starts playing, my mind automatically kicks in with "Matthew, Mark, Lu-uke, John, The Acts, a-and Romans, First a-and Se-cond Cor-i-in-thi-ians" to a very martial beat. Makes me want to march. And of course the converse is true, and when I hear it played as the NT song for the kids at church, my brain kicks in with bagpipes in the background. Fun stuff. And I still use the tunes myself to locate scriptures I'm looking for. This has nothing to do with memorizing Bible books, but I love this newish one that the kids all learned last year: If The Savior Stood Beside Me Edited February 5, 2010 by MamaSheep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
