I’ve finished making backing tracks to learn new songs from these collections. I may put up other versions as time goes by, but even the ropey ones are adequate to their purpose.
I’ve had some feedback from choirs who are using them to get ready for practice and some places that use the backings at Mass for lack of musicians. I can tell from the stats page that schools are using the backings as well.
I don’t use these in mass myself these days as I’m comfortable that my guitar will suffice.
I’ll put up further backings, starting with songs we commonly sing that aren’t in AOV. I’ve put a few of these up already, so it always worth searching the blog in case I’ve already done one that you are looking for. I might even get back to the original intention of the blog and look at music in the liturgy as it applies to a suburban church, who knows.
I appreciate comments and feedback and any suggestions. I’ve been busy with work and study lately so requests for songs I haven’t heard of and for which I have no sheet music have had to wait.
