Abstract
A computer-based music synthesizer system includes a data storage medium for electronically storing a multiplicity of four-part hymns. The user of the system may select the hymn to be played, and may also cause the system to automatically generate an appropriate plagal cadence to establish an “amen” phrase at the end of the hymn. Each of the four parts of the hymn may be independently orchestrated by the user. Alternatively, the user may select one of a plurality of pre-stored orchestration schemes to cause each part of the hymn to have a predetermined orchestration which may be different from the orchestration of the other parts.
