Hymns/Songs for 9th August 2020

Postby Rev Tony Newnham » 08 Aug 2020 08:30

Hi

Another busy week recording for church - 4 hymns/songs this week, plus a proper organ voluntary. 2 of the hymns are multitracked with me playing both organ & piano. I had a few problems with these, partly getting used to a new multi-track recorder, and partly not getting things quite synchronised - it's a long time since I did any multitracking, and I've never done much. Also yet more computer problems (thanks to a Windows update that changed programme settings). Anyway, here's the music - enjoy!

First up is the hymn "Praise, my Soul, the King of Heaven".



Next is "Amazing Grace". I thought I'd give this a bit of "gospel" style using piano & my Nord C2D in Hammond organ mode.



Next a worship song - just piano, but ringing the changes between electric piano & acoustic piano sounds on the Korg SP 180



The final hymn is the Methodist classic "And can it be?". Piano & the Viscount Envoy for this one.



And finally, the bonus track is a short organ voluntary from the Early English tradition, written by William Herschel - better known as an astronomer.
This is written (and played) on manual only (apart from the last bass note - early English organs had keyboards starting at GG - half an octave below the current "standard" of C).



More next week, all being well.

Every Blessing

Tony

Thanks Tony. when I hear amazing Grace I think of Mahalia Jackson singing that on TV as interludes. Back in the 50's.

Hi Tony Enjoyed my Sunday music. First one remember it well knew nearly all the words. Amazing grace was an interesting listen. Liked the organ and piano cleverly put together for that classic one. Keep them coming look forward to them. All the best. John

Hi Tony,

That was a very clever bit of multi-tracking for Amazing Grace, and for And can it be. And a very clever bit of multi-videoing for both of them too! Liked the harmony accompaniment from the organ.

You Laid Aside Your Majesty had a wonderful variation of sound, with electronic piano and grand piano. A lovely piece of music to listen to.

Thanks for the comments folks.

More next week (and just possibly one track before then) - I've had a request. Have to see how time works out today!

Every Blessing
