Good Friday

There is a green hill far away

When I survey the wondrous cross

 

Please send your recordings for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday to me by 6 pm on Wednesday 31st March.

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

Palm Sunday

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
 
 


Lent 4 - Mothering Sunday - for final mixes of music to listen to.




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!
