lizrenowden Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Currently my favourite is 'a poor wayfaring man of grief'. In my first ward if we were going anywhere and the vehicle slowed down for any reason, you could almost guarantee someone would start up with 'put your shoulder to the wheel'.

pam Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Boy am I in agreement with those that say many of our hymns are led far too slowly. I find myself in the congregation wanting to speed up the beat and being frustrated at the same time. But I blame that many times on an organist that doesn't know how to follow a chorister. Then again I'm far too critical with my years of being in music and choirs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pam Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing is becoming a very special song to me.YouTube - ?? Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing - Mormon Tabernacle Choir ??Beautiful rendition of it by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. I believe this arrangement is by Mac Wilberg. I will have the pleasure of singing this song in the Tabernacle in concert in May. What an experience that will be with the organ and all. We will be doing this same arrangement.I'm sure HiJolly will get a chuckle out of that. Me thinking that's a big deal when he sings there all the time. :) Edited February 26, 2011 by pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mormonmusic Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Sacred hymns I would like to see sung at Church more frequently at the right speed include: Don't Look Back (Boston) -- for forgiveness themed sacrament meetings You Can't Hurry Love (Phil Collins Version) -- for those people waiting patiently for the right eternal companion to come along Friends in Low Places (Garth Brooks version): for those Word of Wisdom themed sacrament meetings Jive Talkin' (Bee Gees): To end one of those fast and testimony meetings where people say things that make you cringe. However, I think they should be sung reverently to preserve the Spirit of the meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to think it has the same effect, but I bet my neighbors didn't think so You will be awesom, just try not to look too much like this or or Rather look more like this or Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
