Go Now You Sent Are Forth

Leo Watt joined the discussion about one of his songs the other day so I though I’d put up another of his songs.

Mary at Godsongs did the legwork on his background and included a link to sheet music and clips of this song for sending forth.

Let the Chimes of Freedom Ring (Chimes of Freedom) SNS 33

This is a Celtic hymn of actually liturgical use by Dave Bilbrough.

The text is here and I found a snippet to listen to here. I couldn’t find the sheet music to purchase for download online.

My backing rather missed the feel and went sort of gypsy Irish.

Hosanna to the Son of David

Frenzy Cool is planning ahead and has asked for more of Michael Herry’s service music, this time for Palm Sunday.

Marist music has the sheet music and a sound file here.

The instructions are for a strong rock beat.  I’ve only done the song through twice.

If You Would Have Seats at My Table

Frenzy Cool has asked for some of Michael Herry’s service music. This one is for the twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year B, based on Mark 10:35-45.

The Marists have come to the party and put the sheet music up here. They have also put a sound file to listen to here.

My backing just goes through the short song twice.

Songs for the Journey: APMN Conference

The APMN conference is in Brisbane this year. It is Oct 1st-3rd and the details are here.

I’m presenting a session called “Music Liturgy for the Marginally Musical” at 11.15am on the first day of the conference.

 

It should be fun.

Let Everything That Has Breath SNS 32

Just when Hillsong convinces me I don’t like P&W music, Matt Redman comes along to remind how good it can be. This is a fine uptempo song of praise.

The text is here and the sheet music is available at various shops on the net including musicnotes.

My backing lacks a little heft but will do:

Do Not Fear to Hope … again

I’m having another crack at this song by Rory Cooney at the request of a correspondent. The details of this song are in my previous post here.

I now have a copy of “Glory and Praise” and the version there has an extra stanza that is a bridge for the cantor, which leads into a key change for the final refrain. The text of the bridge is in the sample at OCP.

This backing should be a lot more accurate than the last one and includes the bridge and key change.

 

This clip is actually quite well done for a change and illustrates the bridge beautifully.

Dust and Ashes

I found this song with a text by Brian Wren and music by David Haas while tidying.  I’m sure we used it for Ash Wednesday in the past but I can’t remember when and why I’ve never blogged it.

Brian Wren’s excellent text is at Hope Publishing. The call and response David Haas setting can be purchased at GIA. Hymnary suggests other possible tunes.

I have several backings for some reason.

I Am the Resurrection (David Haas)

I found a couple of David Haas songs tucked away that I have never blogged before. I can’t remember ever singing this one.

The text is from John 11:25-26 and just repeated with key changes.

I am the resurrection,

I am the life.

All who believe in me shall live.

You can buy the sheet music at GIA. Their sample for listening purposes is deadly dull but if it is played brightly and with spirit as suggested it would be very usable at Easter.
