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

HiWe have three worship leaders in our team on a weekly rota. I have a high enough voice, another guy has a lower range and the other girl is an alto. Our difficulty is in finding songs that the…Continue

Greg Moore replied to Craig McConnell's discussion 'How many is too many?'"A closely related question would be, "how do you determine your list, and how it evolves through the years?"
Factors:
* Need for feed - good, healthy music for the congregation
* Need to seed - music that is attractive to…"
Craig McConnell replied to Brandon Wong's discussion 'Worship and Entertainment'"The simple answer, as far as I can see it, is that it is down to the band. If they are on stage to show off and entertain, then its entertainment. If they are more interested in making God famous through their music - Worship!
There is a…"
Craig McConnell replied to Craig McConnell's discussion 'How many is too many?'"We had well over 250 songs in out 'current' list, some of them reaching away back to early 80's. I wouldn't toss anything normally, it's nice to have options with some of the older music but some of those older songs,…"
Greg Moore replied to Craig McConnell's discussion 'How many is too many?'"A and B list sounds good. And about 80 current songs sounds like enough to cover a variety of subjects, yet get enough repetition that people don't start saying "I liked that new song" when it's the fourth time you sang…"
Carl replied to Craig McConnell's discussion 'How many is too many?'"I would say it depends on how many songs you do per week (including mid-week services). We go through 10 per week between Sunday and Thursday Services. I currently have 150 in my database, but it is growing since I am always looking for…"
Stevo 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?'"I've not seen a need to limit library size, although for a practical limit I'd suggest about 400-500 songs. Some time back I did produce a list of just 100 songs to ensure we could play them all without serious practice, but it ended up…"

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…"

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
