This is the latest addition to a series of classic praise and worship songsThe Proclamation Serieswith the following features:
1. A vocal/piano/chord chart for use by the praise team and/or choir as well as the rhythm section.
2. A companion orchestration including substitute partsfor example,
tenor sax parts which can be played as a substitute for (or in addition
to) trombones.
3. A full C score, for reference or to allow a keyboard player to fill in for missing supplemental players, e.g., strings.
4. A computer-generated mp3 demo...in this case, skipping repeats, and with a piano playing everything: brass on the left channel and everything else on the right.
If this song didn't appear on your radar when it first came out, or
if you need a reminder of how appropriate the song is for our current
time, please look at the sample PDF and check out the YouTube video of Darlene Zschech herself leading it. I
think you will be pleasantly surprised. (This arrangement is a pretty close transcription of this video.)
Note: while the score covers all the usual church orchestral instruments
except percussion, this arrangement will also fly with less than a full
orchestra. For example, using only the brass section or only the string section could be fun ways to re-introduce
the song today. Or even using just a few supplemental instruments, as in the video, can be very effective.
If you take all the possible repeats, and perform it at the laid-back
tempo of the video, it will go 7:00. But you can shorten it by omitting a repeat or two.
Note: the purchase price allows you to duplicate as many copies as needed for your singers and instrumentalists.
It
has been my lifelong endeavor to provide fresh, yet accessible music
for
the churches and schools with whom I have been associated. Because of
the slowdown caused by Covid-19, I
finally have the time to start posting 45 years' worth of custom
arrangements on Sheet Music Plus. If you are curious about what else is
available, please navigate to my publisher page here on SMP
