I’ve blogged two volumes of WLP’s Voices As One collections. They call themselves a site for modern Catholic music. The collections are still for sale at WLP and there is a Vol 3 as well. Most of the songs are available to purchase for download, so there will be little need for further compilations.
The blurb for the third volume says:
Use this series of songs for liturgy, retreats, concerts, prayer nights, gathering, youth events, and sending.
So as a resource, Voices As One has a lot of solo material, choir pieces and songs suitable for things other than liturgy, which is their aim. There are obviously churches where their liturgical songs are the norm, as Ed Bolduc’s recommendation for liturgy are largely from this repertoire.
I can’t see it being anything more than a fringe player for parishes in Australia. As One Voice: Next Generation has some of this sort of music and picks the best from UK, US and Australian publishers and so makes more sense for an Australian parish as a resource.
There are, however, many good songs I hadn’t come across, and I enjoyed blogging them as a change from the traditional Hymnody of CWB II.
