Premium Orchestra Series

Ready to take your worship leading choir and orchestra to another level? Renowned arranger, Cliff Duren, has joined our team to start a brand new series of Premium Orchestrations. With refined vocals and expanded instrument parts, your musicians will come alive again. These premium arrangements are mapped to the original recording of our most popular modern worship songs with orchestral parts written with lines and stylings appropriate for each instrument. These orchestrations are written at an intermediate/advanced level, and should be appropriate for high school students, adult amateurs and pros alike. These premium arrangements are specifically keyed to a single key that provides an optimum range for the instruments and vocalists, so it may not be the key that matches the original recording, however, we ensure you have tracks in matching key for accompaniment options.

Orchestration Features

  • Worship Flow - The arrangements are designed for the flow of live worship. All parts have lyric cues and section numbers to aid players in keeping their place, giving the worship leader freedom to make impromptu changes as the Spirit leads or simply follow the chart as written.
  • Rhythm section - The Rhythm part is for the section player (pianist, guitarist, or drummer) with all the specific rhythms and chords necessary for the arrangement. The Lead Sheet is a combination rhythm and vocal chart meant for the vocalists, worship leader, or rhythm player needing more vocal cues. The Piano-Vocal part includes a full piano part for those not comfortable with playing from a chord chart. When playing with a complete band the pianist would be advised to simplify this part in order to "stay out of the way".
  • Vocals - We include an SAT Lead Sheet and a SATB Piano-Vocal score. When using the SAT part (soprano/alto/tenor), the baritone/basses should sing the melody (soprano) down an octave – any exceptions are listed on the score. When the part is written in unison, the men should sing it down one octave or it may be done as a solo. This method provides a contemporary sound that is very appropriate for modern praise music.
  • Rehearsal aids - Rehearsal numbers are given in the form of “1”, “2”, and “3”, providing the easy use of finger signals by the worship leader who may want to make impromptu changes during worship. Normally, “1” is the verse of the song, “2” is the chorus, and “3” is a bridge or other section, but there are exceptions. When a section is repeated in its entirety later in the arrangement, it is labeled “1a” or “2a”, etc. All endings and repeats are clearly notated to facilitate these impromptu changes. Finally, each instrumental part includes lyric cues to aid the player in keeping their place.
