Shout to the Lord

This is the daddy of all Australian P&W songs, Darlene Zschech’s, “Shout to the Lord,” coming in at No 114 in AOV NG.  This works well as a recessional and should be sung slowly and the tendency to speed up … Continue reading

Another P&W offering from Matt Redman, No 113 in AOV, “Shine.”  This is perhaps the most “quiet start to crazy freak out” P&W song of all time.  It’s odd structure has only one verse (repeated once) a chorus that grows … Continue reading

I really like this hope filled song by Jared and Rebecca Haschek, which is No112 in AOV NG.  It sounds country to me, like a classic John Denver song.  The speed stated at 112  is too fast, ~100 is better.  … Continue reading

See Him

No 108 in AOV NG is “See Him”, another celtic chant style song by Keith Duke.  I haven’t had a lot of luck trying to make decent backings for chants and I’m not sure things are any better this time. … Continue reading

Reach Out

No 107 in As One Voice: the Next Generation is another Gina Ogilvie and Monica O’Brien song, “Reach Out.”  It sounds like another song for encouraging high school students but would work as entrance or recessional in a mass as … Continue reading

Praying God

Judy Bailey has provided another excellent contribution at 106 in AOV NG, “Praying God.”  She has recycled a couple of old hymns and come up with something special. Her songs in this collection are not the usual kind of material you … Continue reading
