Do you know of any Christian Creole songbooks with music available for purchase from the U.S.? I have "Chants d'Esperance", which has words but no music.

There's a book similar to the "CHANTS D'ESPERANCE", It's called "SUR LES AILES DE LA FOI". It contains the music scores for Christian hymns in French.
"Solfège" and "Partition" are French and Creole for "music score".  (You might need to know this as you enquire about it.)

There are no Christian songbooks with music score in Haitian Creole yet. You will find a few leaflets (with a couple of songs) here and there at Haitian Christian bookstores.

"Sur Les Ailes de la Foi" is commonly used in Haiti too. Here's a link to the sites where you can find that book.

There's a also a book called "CHANTS JOYEUX", you may even be able to download some free music sheets from it.  Here's the link.  Look for the list of "chants joyeux" songs on the bottom right of the site.

Also here is the site, number, and address where you may find leaflets or booklets with creole songs and music scores:
(I did call that store today, spoke to the owner, he said he might have a Chants D'esperance with Music, but he was not willing to e-mail an image of the cover or  a snapshot of the inside of the book)
