 A lot of the new worship music I have been listening to lately is predominantly male vocalists, and quite high too.  Examples such as Chris Tomlin, Tim Hughes, Lincoln Brewster, Hillsong (some, not…Continue

Carl replied to Craig McConnell's discussion 'How many is too many?'

"I kind of do this already but not in a two-list format. New songs will get used  4-6 times a year since we're learning them. Good, fresh songs will get used 3-4 times in a year and "worn out" songs will get used 1 or 2 times in a…"

Toni replied to Craig McConnell's discussion 'How many is too many?'

How many is too many?

How many songs do you have in your current library? How do you control your library to make sure it stays fresh?I'm in the process of building our library from scratch because it's been neglected for years and we ended up having too many songs to choose from, which meant we weren't confident with them.I'm trying to build two lists- A list and B listA list is new songs, current songs and where the majority of our weekly sets will be built from (80 songs)B list is songs that have some life left…See More

Stevo replied to Craig McConnell's discussion 'New songs for female worship leaders?'
"I'm just curious: for most folks, does the voice pitch figure in when choosing a song? Or is it pretty obvious that you change the key to suit?  We've run into some songs of late that are very tricky - kind of rangy and hard to cover…"

New songs for female worship leaders?

 A lot of the new worship music I have been listening to lately is predominantly male vocalists, and quite high too.  Examples such as Chris Tomlin, Tim Hughes, Lincoln Brewster, Hillsong (some, not all) and other music seem to all have male voices leading the majority of the songs. I'm not saying this is a general rule, just maybe my taste in music... What female worship artists would you recommend that I listen to in order to find some new material to introduce into my church? links to…See More
