I think I’ll push through and finish my survey of Voices As One Volume 2, blogging all the songs I haven’t already covered already from other collections. This is a countrified slow P&W song by Billy James Foote and it … Continue reading →

This song inspired at least in part by St Theresa’s prayer is a lovely ballad that would suit a solo artist. It was written by Michael J Poirier and although they note in Voices as One that it is licensed … Continue reading →

This collection has a lot of songs whose title starts with “you”, which I suppose means they are songs talking to God. Dennis Jernigan wrote this catchy slow P&W song. The verse and chorus have the same chord progression so … Continue reading →

These are the songs the music liturgy team chose for next week. I have found that having gone round the cycle, between our previous selections and those from correspondents over the years, I’m getting a good resource for music selections … Continue reading →

This is one for the other sort of Latin mass. It is a samba, which unless your assembly is expert in Latin rhythms and syncopation, is for soloist and choir. It is by John Angotti and Noelle Garcia and has … Continue reading →
