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.
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.
To access my backings for Paul Mason's mass go to Feb 2011 in the archive.
We have found this is also appropriate to use for the Procession of the Word, at Lay Led Liturgies. It is a nice short hymn. (It is also in Catholic Worship Book II, #88, and is listed on OneLicense.net if your parish is registered with them for reporting; it is not listed on CCLI, if that helps.)
Thanks, Trish – that’s an excellent use that hadn’t occurred to me. I keep forgetting CWB2 as we don’t have a copy at our parish yet.
We have had to drop a few songs that aren’t OneLicence from our repertoire. They are now non-songs.
cheers
Geoff
