I decided to write a liturgical/worship piece..but didn't have an idea for the lyric. One day, I came across words that, while reading, realize fit EXACTLY into my piece's melody line. So it's a collaboration. But the lyricist is Isaac Watts, who wrote the words in the early 1700's. They have been used for other hymns, but I like mine! It is so cool to have 'worked' with a master!

[Link no longer valid]

Rejoice, you righteous, in the Lord,
This work belongs to you;
Sing of his name, his ways, his word,
How holy, just, and true!

His mercy and his righteousness
Let heav'n and earth proclaim;
His works of nature and of grace
Reveal his wondrous name.

STYLE = C_WLZMED Country Waltz
Used some of the Midi sounds in this style, then added
RT854 12-String Acoustic
RT827 Acoustic Strumming Guitar
RD's Country Waltz Brushes
Midi: Church Organ, Choir Sounds, Trumpet, Brass

Really nice work Tano smile Right off the bat, this has to be one of the music unique approaches to a worship song I've ever heard. Really nice backing tracks, and some really catchy harmonies to pull the whole thing along. Your vocal delivery is top notch here too.

Great job on this one - thanks for sharing!


Cheers,

Interesting. Unique.

The rhythm of the organ combined with the drums give it a "different drive". Makes it kind of "catchy"...

The melody fits the theme and its interesting to hear drums on a hymn.
An original piece - I enjoyed listening.

Yes, that rhythmic groove catches the ear!! Melody works well with this lyric. You win the forum prize for most unique collab! I'm sure your co-writer would be flattered! Take care. Greg

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hello, Tom

It is a very easy-to-remember melody.
But the accompaniment is very unique as your usual works.
I agree with floyd.

Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Loved that catchy, quirky 3/4 rendition! As has been mentioned several times, the unusual drum-organ combo is a real nice fit. Very nice work! Wishing you the very best.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
