Here is the lowdown to each of the tracks<\/h2>\n
All Because of Jesus
\nThis was a track that is fairly unsingable in the most well known version. So we took it down two full tones to C but then took a lot of care to keep the brightness in the voicing so it keeps its sense of energy.<\/p>\n
Came to My Rescue
\nIn terms of instrumentation this sounds quite similar to Hillsong\u2019s original version but we changed some of the parts, particularly in the last big choruses to add an even greater sense of tension and release with the song getting bigger and smaller. We also slightly changed some of the song structure to make it a bit more concise and shorter as a version for the average church. Even so to get the full sense of ebb and flow its still a full 5 minutes long, and of course you can repeat any verse\/chorus\/bridge section you want to within the player.<\/p>\n
Cornerstone
\nThis song is going to be around a long time and we wanted to do it justice. So we\u2019ve got male and female vocals with some fabulous harmonies and lots of layered guitar parts to give it that authentic big Hillsong sound. We did bring the key down to Bb to make it more congregationally accessible and again shortened it slightly for usability\u2019s sake (still 6.20!) But the main thing we did we give you two optional endings! So if you want to use the instrumental refrain you can, but if you don\u2019t there\u2019s a bar of dead sonic space after the first ending which easily gives you enough time to jump to the next song in the playlist without it sound awkward.<\/p>\n
Crown Him (Majesty)
\nIn this backing track we took the song down a tone to B as again its just too high for most congregations. But we also stuck fairly close to the feel of the instrumentation with lots and lots of guitar\/keys\/strings layering to get that MASSIVE sound in the bridge.\u00a0 However we decided not to go for the key change at the end mainly because again unless you\u2019re in a large gathering, most folks can\u2019t hit the notes in the original C# key let alone D#! However with the Worship Backing Band player you can of course manually change the key yourself! Remember – use\u00a0 the S and X hotkeys to go up or down.<\/p>\n
God is Able
\nThis is another song we\u2019ve put down a key to A to make more congregationally singable but still keep the original feel in the instrumentation and the parts. So everything in there including the riffs lead lines and solo.<\/p>\n
Great I Am
\nFor this one we took the key down a tone to C but added lots of extra guitar part layering that\u2019s not in the original version to add to the sense of dynamic build as the song progresses.<\/p>\n
Offering
\nPaul Baloche tends to write most of his songs in congregational keys so we kept this track in the original in F and stuck mostly to the arrangement with all the motifs and parts you\u2019d expect. Again there is some extra layering to add to the dynamic but we did change the ending slightly to take out the unusual chords in the album version, just to make it as accessible as possible to the average worship band players.<\/p>\n
Today is the Day
\nAccessibility was the key for this backing track, so we\u2019ve brought it down to C but spent a lot of time on the guitar voicings to give it that Lincoln Brewster feel,\u00a0 with plenty of\u00a0 widdle-tastic riffs and licks to keep you busy especially towards the end of the track. There might also be a bit of Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts and Black Eyed Peas influence in there too\u2026 We did however take out the solo as it leaves most congregations idle with nothing to sing (not anything to do with us not being able to play it of course\u2026 Nope , No Siree!) but if you want to solo just repeat one of our chorus or band sections within the player.<\/p>\n
Whom Shall I Fear (God of Angel Armies)
\nWe took this down to Bb again to make it more congregationally singable but crucially we took time to get that same album feel using guitars and keyboards where we assumed most churches won\u2019t have banjo and Dobro players! So that means if you want to replicate those parts live you easily can by soloing a part to pick out exactly what\u2019s going on. Not often easy on Tomlin\u2019s stuff\u2026<\/p>\n
I am Free
\nThis was another track that\u2019s way too high for most congregations to sing in the original key so we\u2019ve brought down to C but added a few more layers to make the arrangement even more dynamic. We\u2019ve also added multiple BV voices to the audience repeat in the chorus but put it all into one stem so if you don\u2019t use that part then simply mute it!<\/p>\n
