New Song Mappings Etc.

Hi Everyone,

Here's our new songs, with accompanying videos and mappings.  There's a couple extras added here as they were requested by a couple of grade 12 students.  We'll see how they go and decide on our final set list for our next chapel in the next couple of weeks.  Tentatively, based on the current information I have, our next chapel will likely be May 13th or 20th - 4 to 5 weeks away.

Let God Arise     Key of E

• Musical intro  BIG instrumentally   A.W.  organ for this song.  You can hear it really well in the video.
• Verse 1    Guitars hold E.  Drums just high hat and bass drum like the video.  Bass, do the D->E thing in the verses.

I Am Free     Key of A

• Musical intro BIG  M.W trying and get the timing on that guitar part down - its crucial.  A.W, see if you can figure out the keyboard parts in this sone - they are pretty cool.
• Verse 1    Bass, Drums, and keys only.  Vocals in unison.  E.S.  solo?
• Chorus  All instruments, big.  Vocals in unison - we DON'T sing the echo part.  Everyone else will do that
• Verse 2 (through You the Kingdom comes...)  Bass, Drums, and keys similar to first verse.  We'll add M.W. on guitar with a single note on a phaser or a flange.  Vocals in unison.

• Chorus full and big to end.

He Reigns     Key of D

• Chorus  All instruments in.  Vocals with harmonies.  Again, whoever isn't drumming, we need that off-beat tambourine (hear it in the video?)
