A song based on Ps 51 from Digby Hannah. A chant from a Baptist – tremendous.
Hear what I mean here. My backing carries the usual warning that BIAB doesn’t do chant well.
Create in us a clean heart, O God.
Renew within us a right spirit.
Cast us not away from your presence, O Lord,
and take not your Holy Spirit from us.
Restore to us fullness of joy,
the joy that springs from your salvation.
Lighten our minds, shelter out lives with your Spirit free.
Lighten our minds, shelter out lives with your Spirit free.

The accompaniment is rather bizarre and awkward (why the bird chirping?)

Agree fully. Band in a Box is lots of fun but I’ve never found a way of doing chant on it so I appear to have picked a rather bizarre backing. These days I just leave chant well alone and link to examples on the net.
The backings are quick BIAB sketches to get the tune in your head if you don’t read music and sometimes nothing more. Some of the backings are suitable for more than that and others just aren’t.
cheers
