Arranging for the Worship Team

 

 ¡§What can I ask my team members to play?¡¨

¡§How can I make my team sound more interesting?¡¨ 

These are just some of the many questions that have bothered worship teams for many years. However, there are no easy answers as they are closely related to such difficult subjects as harmony, counterpoint and orchestration technique.

This manual is expressively written for those who wish to improve the level of worship team playing through creative writing.  Different aspects of creative writing pertaining to the worship team are clearly explained, including piano and solo instrument writing, rhythmic and harmonic writing as well as how to form worship teams with traditional and contemporary instruments. There is also an entire section on how to adapt traditional hymns for worship team playing.

Although we cannot offer detail explanations on various musical techniques in such a limited space, we hope that this manual can be a guide to better team playing. It is our prayer that readers may be inspired to explore and experiment with different kinds of creative writing to the glory of our Perfect Heavenly Father.
