Deep River
I was curious what the song "Deep River" might have sounded like in the case of Requiem's choir, so I did a youtube search.
Traditional rendition (I think) of "Deep River": Then I came across this, an acoustic guitar version of Deep River which I really liked. It's like black gospel meets Japanese Koto. Deep River: More from this guy: Nearer my God: http://www.myspace.com/kawolofsamarkand |

If this blues guitarist played a version of a Mormon hymn, would that fly in sacrament meeting?

I'm pretty liberal on baptismal services, auxiliary meetings, and firesides. I'm more traditional and strict on sacrament meetings and large gatherings like a stake or General conference, and I think you'll find that to be a general pattern across the church.

Not saying that's right or wrong ... but that's what I was told by a Stake Pres once. |

I think spiritual music would help me a lot more than these other things. Farrah is in charge of the music of our ward, and she was given a mandate to really do something special and so far we have only gotten a Janice Kapp Perry number. I'm very disappointed so far. |

Come to think of it, you're right, this does sound a lot like CG.

I don't disagree with you on that. Just explaining why Sac. Mtg. is treated different than other meetings. The bottom line is that it is supposed to be "more revererent / spiritual". Of course, how you accomplish that would be different to everyone ... so go figure.

I have a couple classical pieces planned, and some organ/piano duets. We are one of the few buildings around to have a pipe organ, so I figure we should take advantage of that. I'm also hoping to incorporate the professional percussionist in somehow. |
