I will post more guide tracks for Easter Day and Low Sunday, including my Gloria setting, during the week.

The royal banners forward go
My song is love unknown
Halls - Wash me throughly (Anthem) - Soprano and Tenor guide track
Halls - Wash me throughly (Anthem) - Alto and Bass guide track
Note the ST and AB parts are in unison with each other. Just download the track for your voice and sing along to the music I emailed to you under our music reproduction licence.
Music for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Day will be uploaded soon.
Lent 5
Just one hymn as we have already recorded 'In Christ alone'.
We have a gospel to proclaim
For the choir:
Guide tracks:
The Lord's my shepherd (Townend) - 3 verses - chorus twice at the end. Do add the descanty bit in the last verse.
There's a wideness in God's mercy (Corvedale) - includes count-ins.
Lent 3 - Sunday 7 March
IMPORTANT: Follow the
recording instructions here. I only need your voice - not the accompaniment, please.
Words for both hymns - take care at the end of a Abbots Leigh (God is love) to sing the notes I sing and not what congregations normally sing!
God is love let heaven adore him (audio guide track)
Jesu lover of my soul (audio guide track)
If you have not recorded your contribution to the Dorian Acclamation for Lent, please send me your vocal track (I sent the guide track and music last week).
Thanks!
