The Spirit of God

So, I'm using an arrangement of "The Spirit of God" by Vieve Thompson (link to her free music site is below). I'm planning on having the ward choir perform it the week after the Draper Temple Dedication, to help people to remember the dedication if they went, and just to bring the Spirit. I was struggling at first with the practices, feeling like the song was going to drag a bit, singing all the verses, that it would be too long. Well, last Sunday, I had the choir work on dynamic levels. I asked them to go soft at the beginning, as written, but not lose the energy, to punch every note, and be very crisp with every word. WOW! They started out, and they sounded like the MoTab would! I don't say that often, but it was wonderful! I always liked the arrangement, but now I love it! Props to Vieve Thompson! I love how the men are singing Hosanah under the women's melody! Beautiful! So, for anyone looking for a good piece, check out Vieve Thompson, and "The Spirit of God"! It has everything I only dream about being able to do!
