Living Praise Instrumental Collection

SKU: GI.G-10380

ISBN 9781622775361.

This collection by John L. Bell and the Wild Goose Resource Group is filled with songs of praise and possibility! The recording features singers and instrumentalists rehearsed and conducted by Iain McLarty. McLarty gathered a very talented and eclectic group and worked co-operatively with them on some of the arrangements to produce interesting and engaging sounds.    This Is God’s World is dedicated to Graham Maule (1958-2019). An integral part of the WGRG, Graham oversaw the production of this recording and also sang a solo verse in one of the songs before his passing last December. He is dearly missed by all who knew him and worked with him.    CONTENTS: This Is the Day • All People Living on the Earth • What Is This Place? • In Christ We Live • Long Have You Loved Me • There Is a Balm • Now We Are Nourished • Lord Jesus, I’m Eager to Answer Your Call • The Lord of the Earth • This Is God’s World • God Give Them Peace • We Are Coming, Lord, to the Table • Within the Circle of Your Friends • God and Parent of All People • God Loved the World So Much • Go, Heal the Sick • Murassala • Canticle of the Turning • I Lie Down with God .

The choirbook Women of Our World is more than a simple song collection: In easy two- to three-part arrangements for women's voices, 40 pieces in 25 different languages from more than 30 countries are gathered here. Singable transcriptions for each piece as well as pronunciation guides and translations in the appendix enable an immediate access. Introductory texts inform on the origin and cultural background of the songs; chord symbols allow an instrumental accompaniment, too. Unique for choirbooks of this kind though are the contributions from women of international origin living in Germany; they are presented in portraits and describe their personal relation to singing in a choir. Women of Our World is the result of the yearslong work of editor Hayat Chaoui with international song repertoire as choir leader, singer and consultant. An interview with Mrs. Chaoui on the origin of the edition is found on our blog (German only).This praiseworthy resource could be used to support a range of choral projects, especially perhaps where songs might usefully be taught by rote.
