Purpose
I've worked my way through the As One Voice books and other collections making backings on Band in a Box to help me (& you if you're interested) learn new songs for church. This is aimed at churches and musicians that own the collections but haven't exploited them fully. If you don't have them they are certainly worth buying. This site is educational, nonprofit and designed to enhance the commercial prospects of songwriters. This site does not distribute copyrighted sheet music.Disclaimer
Any opinions expressed here are personal views and not the responsibility of any Church.
All music backings posted are created by myself and the intention is for them to be used to learn the songs. If any copyright holder wishes me to cease publicising and promoting their wares and directing people to where sheet music can be legally purchased please let me know.Mason’s “Mass of Glory and Praise”
To access my backings for Paul Mason's mass go to Feb 2011 in the archive.-

Lord of the Dance (AOV 1/18)
This traditional Shaker song turned up in a liturgy a few weeks ago locally. I find it hard to keep up with the “fast and lively” instruction on the music. This is a lively version. Verse 1 I danced in … Continue reading

Mass Booklet for the Assembly
As One Voice have produced a mass booklet with melody line versions of eleven settings. I think I need it for the responses too, because while they are meant to be on the overheads at our church it seems to disappear at … Continue reading

O Lord, Hear My Prayer (AOV 1/17)
A very useful chant from Taize. Hear it here. O Lord, hear my prayer, O Lord, hear my prayer: When I call answer me, O Lord, hear my prayer, O Lord, hear my prayer, Come and listen to me. © Ateliers … Continue reading

Glory and Praise to Our God (AOV 1/16)
This is the first song in AOV from Dan Schutte, another of the very popular composers of catholic music who is equally loved and reviled. We use his Easter music every year locally and it works very well indeed. This … Continue reading

Alleluia No 1 (AOV 1/15)
This piece by Donald Fishel is another Gospel Acclamation we have used a lot over the years, but less since we have been trying to do whole mass settings. He is a flautist, which explains the solo instrument line that … Continue reading

Sunday Morning in the Suburbs / Ruach
Having absolutely nothing to do with the liturgy or music today at Mass, I went and talked to people beforehand, sat in the pews and sang along, went to Eucharist and stayed behind to talk some more. The music was … Continue reading

Psalm 97 (Smith) AOV 1/14
This setting is by the late Br Colin Smith. He was well known for his Mass Shalom, recently revised by Paul Mason. My backing just gives the tones for the verses. You get a better idea from this excerpt. Response … Continue reading

Celtic Alleluia (AOV 1/13)
Everyone knows this Gospel Acclamation by Fintan O’Carroll and Christopher Walker. It has lots of alternative verses and is most useful. We have used it a lot less since we have been trying to do complete settings for the Mass. … Continue reading

Gather Us In (AOV 1/12)
Mary Haugen’s ultimate gathering song. According to As One Voice it was written by Mary, but we can safely assume they meant Marty. You can follow pages of arguing over this song here. Again, I think repetition and mangling have … Continue reading
