Music for Palm Sunday 2021 at Wolston

Hi

Here's this Sunday's selection. I'm rather disappointed that our preacher this week hasn't chosen any traditional Easter hymns - the closest is Graham Kendrick's "Make Way". I do play an organ interpretation of "Ride on, Ride on in majesty" though, and, by request, a reprise of "God so loved the world" from a couple of weeks ago. Church is reopening on Sunday, so I'll be playing these live - but still no singing allowed.



The opening hymn is Graham Kendrick's "Make Way".



Next comes a more recent worship song. I've had to learn both this and the next one!



Next up is a worship song from the Hillsong group of churches. It's interesting trying to unravel the music for this, as there are multiple repeats etc. And rather a lot of syncopated timing!



The service closes with a classic Graham Kendrick worship song



Finally, by request, a reprise of "God so loved the world" from Stainer's Crucifixion". This is the version I recorded a couple of weeks back on my folding Harmonium. I'll play it on the Content digital organ at church on Sunday.



Every Blessing

Tony

Hi Tony. Another interesting Sunday morning listen. I wasn’t familiar with any apart from the first one. Liked that piano and the harmonium. Thanks for post lots of work went into these. Keep safe and well. John

Thanks John

I wasn't familiar with 2 of the songs either until I got the hymn list last Tuesday! They were a bit of a nightmare to sort out - the notation in the "Songs of Fellowship" books isn't always as clear as it should be. Add to that the "off beat" nature of a lot of the melody lines, and a whole load of repeats, some nested together, in "Worthy is the Lamb" it was rather a lengthy recording session last Wednesday!

I'll hopefully be recording the music for Good Friday later today - at least it's more straightforward!

Every Blessing

Tony
