I don’t know what to make of this song by Rory Cooney and Claire Cooney. It is based on Psalm 69 seemingly reimagined by Barry Manilow. It says the verses are cantor and the refrain is by all, except the bridge is a conversation between the cantor and the choir who have been waiting very patiently. The snippet at WLP is a duet + choir and that is about right so while feasibly liturgical, good luck on getting it to work.
The text is in the sample at WLP where you can hear a snippet and purchase the sheet music.
I just couldn’t get this song in their style so I put in an over busy Bachesque piano with some strings and this is how the backing turned out.
While this song isn’t my cup of tea and I had to be introduced to Rory Cooney’s work by readers of this blog, as he hasn’t caught on much in this part of the world, he has written some fine songs. This is a sobering post he wrote about the realities of being a liturgical composer.
