I’ve decided to change up the way I’m putting my set-lists here on the blog. Until now I’ve been listing our performance key, but I think it would be a bit more helpful to post the artist that my arrangements most closely match for that week. There will be some songs where I can’t really find anything comparable, so in that case I’ll just post what I think is the most popular version. If you have any questions about what key I’m doing songs in and what’s working in a live setting, leave a comment and I’ll be happy to get you that info. I’ll continue to add iTunes links for the songs to make it easy for you to purchase and download tunes I’m using.
This week we used a quick custom track I laid down for God Be Praised, a new song I heard at the Gateway Worship Conference last month. I just decided to do a simple track in GarageBand. It was a little tricky because the song has a tempo change midway through and GarageBand has some limitations I had to work around. I just added a pad and string track to my click and cue/guide tracks. I’m loving this song live…it’s a great worship anthem that is easy for people to connect with.
Here is my set from this weekend:
Friend of God (Michael Gungor)
Let It Rise (Big Daddy Weave)
I Surrender All (Traditional Hymn)
God Be Praised (Gateway Worship)
How Great Is Our God (Chris Tomlin)
Are you using enhancement trax in your worship?
What are your thoughts about the new song God Be Praised?
Very good information. Lucky me I discovered your blog by accident (stumbleupon).
I’ve book marked it for later!
