Deeper than the Sea

I wrote this setting of Psalm 36:5-9 for the CRC sesquicentennial hymn contest. I lost. But then the Psalm came up in the lectionary, so I decided to create an arrangement for choir, piano and congregation that we’ll use January 14 at Church of the Servant. Chords are included so it can be accompanied by guitar and bass to get that “folk choir” kind of sound.

Here is the score: (I had to remove it–it’s now published by GIA)

Don’t have a choir? Don’t despair! Here’s the leadsheet for praise band: (pdf-praise)

And a rough demo in a somewhat Chris Tomlin style: (mp3-praise)
