Eb F C Ab
An original orchestral arrangement of Mozart's Alleluia Canon, from the motet Exultate, Jubilate. This beautiful 3-part round is light-hearted, easy to sing, and perfect for the Easter season. Divide your congregation into 3 sections and direct them from the front! Also works well for choirs and soloists.<br><br> The melody is played once by the orchestra, then sung once in unison, and then the three part round begins.
F
A serene, peaceful recording of the this worshipful hymn. Nature sounds blend with contemporary instrumentation to remind us of our place in God's creation.
C A Eb G
A mellow acoustic version of the traditional Easter hymn. Piano and guitars, drumset with brushes, shaker, and organ. An easy and beautiful congregational song for any time of year, but particular in the Easter season.
G Bb D F
A bounding, joyous SATB chorus, movement 26 of Handel's Messiah. Ends with a slow quiet coda. Orchestral direction follows the London Philharmonic recording.
F
A forcefully dramatic tenor recitative, movement 27 of Handel's Messiah. Only a minute in length, it can also be performed by a soprano soloist.
Bbm
A contemplative arrangement for Viola, Piano, and acoustic bass of the traditional high holy day song Kol Nidre. Instrumental intro, followed by one time through the song, and a tag instrumental ending. Kol Nidre means "All Vows" and is a flat statement that no promise of any kind will be kept for the coming year. Note, this arrangement is a shortened version of the full prayer, and is designed to allow for cantorial singing prior to chanting or speaking the full prayer -- an effective High Holiday congregational technique.
Abm Fm Cm
A majestic, triumphant aria for bass, featuring solo trumpet and full orchestral accompaniment. Movement 48 of Handel's Messiah, it speaks of the end of the world: how the dead will be raised, and the mortal will become immortal. Quite lengthy, as practically the entire four-minute aria is repeated after a short interlude.
D
Movement 20 in Handel's Messiah is a gentle, flowing double aria for alto and soprano. The text describes how Jesus will protect his people. The alto sings the first half in F, and then the soprano takes over in Bb for the second half. Simple and beautiful. Could be done by one singer with a large range, but really perfect to feature two.
F
Vocals accompanied by a contemporary solo piano and viola arrangement of the traditional hymn, For All The Saints. This arrangement has 4 verses. Powerful hymn about God's faithfulness and his promise of victory and salvation.
G E Bb C
Aria from the Messiah by Handel. This arrangement follows Handel's original score and the performance tempos as performed originally by the London Symphony Orchestra. Scored for orchestra and tenor voice. Perfect solo piece for the holidays.
E
Orchestra backing track for the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah oratorio. This music follows Handel's original score. Popular piece for Christmas and Easter performances, perfect for choir.
D
A traditional orchestra and organ arrangement of this classic hymn of gratitude and thanksgiving. Small range and moderate tempo makes it easy for congregational singing. The arrangement builds steam as it progresses, adding more orchestral instruments in each verse.
F C A
This heartfelt spiritual about standing with God is presented here in a simple folk style with two acoustic guitars, upright bass, and drums. Adopted by the civil rights movement as "We Shall Not Be Moved", the melody now conjures images of standing against injustice.
