A beautiful, soulful, modern pop ballad version of the traditional Methodist hymn Savior, Like A Shepherd Lead Us. Features piano, acoustic and electric guitar, keyboard, bass and drums, gradually building to a moving final chorus. Reharmonized for a more gospel feel. This version plays through 3 verses.
Eb C F
An acoustic contemporary version of this simple, powerful spiritual about peace and love. The simple text and water metaphors make it deep but still approachable and meaningful for all ages. Acoustic guitar, piano, bass, drums, and organ, four verses.
D F Bb G
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
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 traditional solo piano accompaniment to the classic gospel hymn. Great for either a soloist or choir, and the verses have built-in call and response sections too. The pianist plays stride left hand during the choruses, often in a ragtime style.
C Eb G
A jazz trio version of the traditional spiritual. Cool and bluesy, kind of like a moondance. Great for kids and adults alike. Piano, bass, and drums.
