Awesome collection
Let me say this: when I first came across Discover Worship, I was a little put off by the pricing--I mean, how much of this music would I be able to use to justify it? But when I bit the bullet and got the Unlimited subscription, WOW... Okay, a review of this work. First of all, what a great collection of songs. I admit I did swap out the final "Worthy the Lamb" for Jeff Slaughter's "Worthy" (also available here on DW!) because, well, I like "Worthy" better (hence my 4 stars instead of 5). My church loved the cantata--so many people were telling me how much they enjoyed it and were blessed by it. The script was simple and powerful, the music is masterfully collected, the integration of the kids' choir was genius--our organist, quite an accomplished musician, insisted she couldn't understand how we taught those kids such hard music. It's actually EXTREMELY easy, but the multiple layers to the arrangements were so colorful and provided such variety and counterpoint. I highly recommend this work. As I said, we used Slaughter's "Worthy" at the end in lieu of "Worthy the Lamb," which I frankly felt was a little anti-climactic. If we're going to "bring things down," I thought it should be done so with a texture change, so... there you have it. But if you have an Unlimited account, just grab them both (or whatever combination) and roll your own cantata. Can't say enough about how much fun DW's system makes assembling programs. Thanks, DW! (I feel like a cheap commercial... ;-)
