Getting back to As One Voice: the Next Generation, at No 105 is Paul Melley’s song “Our Help is from the Lord.”  He’s had a brave stab at a rocking Psalm with some success, although using words like “whence” jars … Continue reading →

[22/2/2014 – NB – Some of these backings are pretty lousy. I have better ones for the Holy Holy and Gloria here.]   This mass by Paul Taylor was one of the six recommended settings, and one of two that I thought … Continue reading →

Another Paul Baloche song, with music by Brenton Brown, is No 104 in As One Voice the Next Generation.  “Our God Saves” is another P&W slow burn, build up to freak out song.  A simple sentiment expressed simply and repetitively, … Continue reading →
