Choral Choir (4-Part) - Level 3 - Digital Download
SKU: A0.829460
Composed by Deby Dearman and Kirk Dearman. Arranged by Lyndell Leatherman. Contemporary. Octavo. 30 pages. Leatherman Music Services #6054095. Published by Leatherman Music Services (A0.829460).This is the latest addition to a series of classic praise and worship songs–The Proclamation Series–with the following features:
1. A vocal/piano/chord chart for use by the praise team and/or choir as well as the rhythm section.
2. A companion orchestration including substitute parts–for example, tenor sax parts which can be played as a substitute for (or in addition to) trombones.
3. A full C score, for reference or to allow a keyboard player to fill in for missing supplemental players, e.g., strings.
If this song didn't appear on your radar when it first came out, or if you need a reminder of how appropriate the song is for our current time, please look at the sample PDF and listen to Bob Fitts' original recording here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wZQpaWe7GI Note: the arrangements aren't the same, but the vocal parts and rhythms are very close. I lost the original Finale files, and that's why I can't supply an mp3 of the orchestration. But I think that you would like it, with its punchy brass in the style of the Miami Sound Machine.
While the score covers all the usual church orchestral instruments except percussion, this arrangement will also fly with less than a full orchestra. For example, using only the brass section or only the string section could be fun ways to re-introduce the song today. Or even using just a flute can be very effective.
If you want to make this an instrumental-only piece for service music, consider adding another keyboard or solo instrument to cover the melody.
Note: the purchase price allows you to duplicate as many copies as needed for your singers and instrumentalists.
It has been my lifelong endeavor to provide fresh, yet accessible music for the churches and schools with whom I have been associated. Because of the slowdown caused by Covid-19, I finally have the time to start posting 45 years' worth of custom arrangements on Sheet Music Plus.
