You’re Changing Me

Brisbane’s emmanuelworship have always been at the praise and worship end of Australian catholic music and Ride of a Lifetime from 2003 saw them at peak rowdy. This song by Andrew Lowden is testimony set to power chords. The collection is long out of print, hence posting the sheet music.

Jesus, You’re the One

This is a James Garrahy song from Ride of a Lifetime, emmanuelworship‘s 2003 album.

Again, I doubt it is a liturgical song, but it is a little more reflective than some of the others here and works as sung prayer. It is pitched high enough already without the key change into the last verse!

I have posted the sheet music as it is out of print.

Even If

Patrick Keady used Psalm 139 as inspiration for this fine song from 2003’s emmanuelworship‘s album Ride of a Lifetime.

This one could be done profitably with less noise as a solo vehicle. The range and syncopation are too much for an assembly, but it’s home would be in youth rallies in any case. I am putting up the sheet music as the collection is long out of print.

Awesome Forever

I am looking at emmanuelworship‘s Ride of a Lifetime collection from 2003. This is an out and out praise and worship song by James Garrahy with help from Liz Buchanan and Patrick Keady. The syncopation is dialed to the max, but it is singable in a conversational sort of way. I’ve posted the sheet music as it out of print.

I used a piano melody line for a change to highlight all the syncopated notes. There is the usual build in intensity with many repetitions.

I Will Celebrate

Brisbane’s emmanuelworship have always been at the praise and worship end of Australian Catholic music. I am looking back at their album Ride of a Lifetime album from 2003. I am expecting lots of songs that are meant for young people outside of church liturgies, and so far that is what I am finding.

This song, by James Garrahy, is perhaps a more traditional fast praise and worship song than yesterday’s song. It is easy to sing, despite all the triplets, and is great for when your guitarist needs to practice their barre chords. It is long out of print so I have put up the sheet music.

Their version is full on from the start, but my backing starts a little more quietly.
