This is another song from Adelaide, by Peter and Lauren Bierer. While written for the 2022 Diocesan Assembly it has a use as a gathering song or for Pentecost.
I didn’t get fooled into Dm7 chords this time. The sheet music is here.
I was at a small songwriter’s workshop last weekend arranged by Monica O’Brien and I am still decompressing a little.
I met some wonderful talented songwriters and was inspired by what they are all up to. Peter and Lauren Bierer from Adelaide were there, and they have a couple of great songs posted by the Adelaide Archdiocese.
This one was a sung prayer for communal discernment and action leading up to the Plenary, but has obvious uses beyond that.
I thought he was trying to unsettle us – and we really do need some unsettling, but I was just playing Dm7 instead of Dmaj7 chords.
In the clip you can see how it was used under spoken prayer.
I've worked my way through the As One Voice books and other collections making backings on Band in a Box to help me (& you if you're interested) learn new songs for church. This is aimed at churches and musicians that own the collections but haven't exploited them fully. If you don't have them they are certainly worth buying. This site is educational, nonprofit and designed to enhance the commercial prospects of songwriters. This site does not distribute copyrighted sheet music.
