Following on from the APMN conference in Brisbane, I have lots of things to look at on my blog.
I attended a session called “Singing the Sacraments” with Fiona Dyball and Damian Whelan, which was a breathless swing through many useful songs for liturgy. While I have already looked at some of their selections over the years, there are some that are new to me that I will look at here. This will mean I will be looking at some non-Australian songs as well for a change.
I will look at more songs not from Australia when I go through some of the Sarah Hart songs that she performed at the conference that I have yet to cover here, and there are also the new songs from OCP for Breaking Bread 2024 – which will likely have even more Sarah Hart!
At the Willow/As One Voice booth they had hard copies of Patrica Smith’s three new music books. They are “And the Angels Sang”, “The Body of Christ” and “Songs from the Jesse Tree”. These are usually only available in downloadable form, so I bought “And the Angels Sang” to do before Advent. I will likely get to the others, especially the songs for Eucharist in “The Body of Christ”. Don’t feel bad about missing out on printed copies, “And the Angels Sang” is probably better in the downloadable version as there are a lot of two page songs that require page turns.
