I’m continuing my survey of songs in Voices As One Volume 2. This is a lovely chant by Joseph Sabolick.
The lyrics are here. The sheet music is available to purchase for download at various sites on the net including an SATB version at Alfred Music.
My backing uses a BIAB style with loops:
This song is being used at RS’s parish. The moving text is by Genevieve Glen OSB and set to MORRIS-RADER by Scot Crandel. The tune starts out conventional and goes all unexpected on us at the end of each verse.
The text is in OCP’s sample music and the sheet music can be purchased there.
This is a joyous song from Paul A. Tate that sounds a lot of fun to sing. There is a counter melody that you can hear in the You-Tube clip below.
It could be used at Christmas, the Easter season and any other celebration that could use a lift.
The sheet music can be purchased at WLP where the text is in their sample.
My backing is in a dance style:
Entrance: Table of Plenty (Schutte) AOV 2/20
Psalm 62 (McKenna)
My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
Gifts: The Summons (Maule-Bell) AOV NG 149
Communion: Bread of Heaven (Manibusan-Hart)
Seed Scattered and Sown (Feiten) GA 195
Thanksgiving: O Sacred Flame (Marshall)
Recessional: Christ be Our Light (Farrell) AOV 2/3
I have actually already blogged this song here when I was going through As One Voice: Next Generation, but commented on the arrangement, which was very slow. The arrangement here is nearly twice as fast and handles the repeats differently so I have made a new backing:
WLP subscribers can download this arrangement here.
I’m slowly making my way learning songs in Voices As One Vol 2 from WLP
I’ve already blogged Angotti’s Come to the Table (226), which me brings me to Angotti’s “Veni, Creator Spiritus”. It is placed here as a prelude to the next song “Come, Holy Spirit” by – you guessed it – John Angotti. I was dismissive of my backings for these songs when I made them for As One Voice: Next Generation, but listening to them now they are just fine.
The sheet music is at WLP and the text is just “Veni, Creator Spiritus”. They suggest it for confirmation but there is an obvious use for Pentecost.
This is for 4 music groups with each verse added until all are singing.
My backing required using RealBand rather than BIAB and this time I don’t really think it will help much with learning it.
Learn it from the clips:
This John Angotti song is a solo vehicle with a fiddly tune, bridge and several key changes that make an interesting song but not one for the assembly. It has a touch of the show tune to it.
The sheet music is at WLP where the lyrics are in the preview.
This is an interesting idea. Steven C Warner of the Notre Dame Folk Choir has written a refrain that can use verses based on either Psalm 23 or 34. He has four verses for each suggested for a cantor but they actually are singable enough for an assembly.
The sheet music can be purchased at WLP where the text is in their sample.
This is a funky gathering hymn by John Angotti. It suggests the verses and the bridge be sung by a cantor, which is probably correct as the verses have varying tunes and the bridge is pitched very high. The chorus would be best sung by an assembly that is on its feet. It has a bit of call and response for further participation.
The sheet music is at WLP where the lyrics are in their preview.
