I'm sure this is a topic that has been covered before, but how do you select the songs you sing each week? Specifically, I'm thinking about diversity. Do you consider including songs from different…Continue

Brendan Smith replied to Phil Williams's discussion 'Worship Set Lists - October 2010'"The only track we've used thus far off that album is "The Earth Is Yours" which has worked VERY well. I was inspired by this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRUCV78IULQ and had my vocalists copy the intro (which mimics the…"

Dorothy Murphy replied to Brendan Smith's discussion 'Song Selection'"I love Kendrick too!
But good song-writing didn't begin and end with him. LOL! Isaac Watts wrote a few good ones too! ;-) As did Tim Hughes. Churches can just get stuck in a rut sometimes."
Greg Moore replied to Brendan Smith's discussion 'Song Selection'"If you choose to use music outside of your present "box", be sure to gain enough skill in the style that your efforts are appreciated (and even understood). For some people a song is defined by a prominent artist's interpretation (or…"
Greg Moore replied to Brendan Smith's discussion 'Song Selection'"I agree with the concept of starting with the Word and prayer, and letting it marinate in the heart, and discovering which songs were in the list merely because they felt good, and which ones really ought to be there.
I also agree with your…"
Brendan Smith replied to Brendan Smith's discussion 'Song Selection'"Al - this is so true!! I have to tell team members all the time that the song is not getting tired to the people, they're just getting used to it. Yes, I def. consider flow and theme (to a slightly lesser degree than flow). I try not to…"
Al Hilgendorf replied to Brendan Smith's discussion 'Song Selection'"I like the phrase "narrative structure" that Dorothy used. I try to keep the songs thematically connected while varying the musical style, rhythm or tempo. Once, at a Willow Creek conference, I heard Joe Horness say that when he selects a…"
Dorothy Murphy replied to Brendan Smith's discussion 'Song Selection'"Hi Brendon,
We spend a lot of time in prayer, and studying the Bible passage to be preached, right at the start of planning for a service. We ask God to direct us to the right songs. Then we (my husband and I) brainstorm a long list of songs whiich…"

David Estes said… - Did you write/play the songs on the CD? I love the song Praise the lord! I have been playing it all day. I am going to have my worship team learn it and rock/worship the house down!
I am surprised that I have never heard this song.
