I have been learning the Lead Kindly Light arrangement that we will be singing. It is difficult, but beautiful and well worth the effort it will take to learn and perform. I found a U-Tube recording of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing it. This video is a great resource for us to know the overall sound of the song. It is in a 3/2 time signature, so it is a little different than your typical hymn.
I also made a couple of practice files for the second verse. I'm not sure who I will oo the descant and who I will have sing the melody, but sopranos, you are most likely going to have the oos, so take a minute to learn the gorgeous countermelody that Mack Wilberg wrote for this song. Happy practicing!
