Okay, my fellow LGM brothers and sisters.....
Now, there are some gospel songs that God will use you to play that will really minister to your soul first, and then to those who are listening. What is the most powerful song that you ever played on a horn/wind instrument?
One of the most powerful songs that the Lord allowed me to play is "For Every Mountain" by Kurt Carr and the Kurt Carr Singers -- that song really ministers to me! My sister actually did a liturgical dance to the track, while I played the alto sax (in the background), during one of our church conferences a few years ago.
What is the most powerful song that God used you to play? On what horn/wind instrument?
God Bless.

Yeah I'm gonna have to co-sign this.
-
because its public domain, has typical blues changes and its a classic, the horn player and the congregation will get lots of emotion and feeling out of ...... wait for it..........
"Near the Cross"
don't forget. You can always change the feel up of hyms....raggae, latin (samba), go-go, new jack swing, straight jazz swing.
-
I'd have to say "Praise is What I Do"
A couple more that I love to play:
More Than Anything - Lamar Campbell
Holy, Holy, Holy
What a Friend We Have in Jesus
-
I have a couple of oldies but goodies that I rely on from time to time.......James Cleveland's Lord Help Me to Hold Out and I think it's Tremaine Hawkins' Never Alone. Some of you young bucks might not know anything about that. ;)
-
The most prophetic song would be "Great is thy Mercy" by Donnie M. on my Trombone.
we modulated this song from F to F# to give an even greater impact.

This past Sunday, I played my version of "Amazing Grace". I dedicated it to my father who passed away in April. I played it in both services. The Holy Spirit filled me up and then some... When it was over, each time...I wept....
There is Power in music... Music is the great equalizer.
Peace,

Wolfram,
Sorry to hear about the loss of your father. My prayers go out to you and your family.
Yes, music is definitely a powerful tool. Especially when the musician has been through some trials and is playing under the anointing.
What instrument do you play?
Be encouraged!

I play the alto sax most of the time.
I have the clip on here somewhere. Here it is for you to listen to if you like:

i was thinking of playing Total Praise - Richard Smallwood. Do ya'll think that would be a good choice to play...
-
"Praise is what I do" is a VERY powerful song and I feel God's presence when I play. For me, it HAS to be "AWSOME GOD!!!" It was the recessional song at my wedding and when I play it now, I can hardly play it all the way through. God is TRULY awsome and just the simplicity of the words of the song ministers to my heart and everyone in the audience.

Welcome, Sax4Him!
I love both of those songs! I can see why you chose them.
Let God continue to use you for His glory!
Be Blessed!

How about ("Changed") by Tramaine Hawkins (old School)
(Stand) by Donnie Mc Clurklin
and the list goes on an on (from old to new) Nothing gets old with the lord. The delivery may change with time but the message is ALWAYS the same.
I love playing singing and also playing an instrumental solos with all sort of variations.
You can work with any song to make it very inspirational.
God Bless

Nice choices, Wash and The Unit! I may try practicing those songs myself! I need to add more songs to my repetoire. You just never know when you may be asked to play.
Thanks for sharing!

Another one of my favorites is " Center of My Joy" Richard Smallwood. Along with, " Your Tears" Paul Morton. Both have a vamp section near the end that will allow you to minister under the anointing.
-
Sandi Patty's Arrangement of "Blessed Assurance" and "Jesus Paid it All". You can find Jesus Paid it all at www.bartlettmusicacademy.com on the Mp3 Recordings page of teachers.
-
I need to crrect the previous post. The jesus Paid it all arrangement was written by me and fellow musician Tony Thomas not Sandy Patty.
-
Wow!!! Something I can relate too. I think that the most powerful songs I've played are:
Great is thy Faithfulness
God is All around (By Anointed)
Great is Your Mercy (By Donnie McLurkin)
His Eyes are on the Sparrow
Let it Rain (Bishop Paul Morton)

God uses us and our instruments as instruments to minister to his people. One of the most POWERFUL songs I was allowed to play was a rendition of "We Fall Down" by Donnie McKurklin. I played the solo on my Trombone (Shaquita: thats my horn's name) and was accompanied by my brother on drums at a Youth Convention in North Carolina. These folks were trying to act all dignified, sidity, booshi, or what ever you want to call it but when that Anointing began to flow through that place them "negros" began to holla, scream, and shout and give HIM the praise as if they was in their own chuirch and not in a ballroom at a Convention.
That was when I began to understand the power of the ministry of Music, even if there are no words attached to the harmonic notes!
God is Good,God is Love!!!

Definitely!!!!! I heard a gospel violinist do a version of it, and it was on time man.
-
There are probably more sophisticated pieces I've played that were very powerful songs, but I think hands down it goes back to Amazing Grace. That song speaks to everyone...it has such a universal anointing to it, that few folks hear it without being moved.
-
My most powerful song that i have palyed is "I am not sorry"
-
An early favorite, when I started playing at church is and still is Who Is Like The Lord. I just love Israel's stuff, period. Lately, Clint Brown's I Worship You has been singing to me.
-
That's a hard question. I'd have to say when we recorded the "Cover the Earth" CD with Israel Houghton, (Live at Lakewood), that whole service was the most powerful worship I've ever experienced. We could hardly play our horns. It may sound old fashioned, but the song "Because He lives" has always touch my heart. "I really enjoyed "You are Good!" too. If you get the chance, listen to track 16 on Ken Reynolds latest CD. That's the funnest solo I've ever played, (tpt).

~ keynote

I am enjoying Angella Christie's CD "Breath of Life"! all of the songs on there are awesome. The most recent one I've been learning on alto sax is "Like the Dew". I love it!!!
-
The most powerful song that sung in my college annual function was shikira's song "HIPS DON"T LIE". i like very lot of it. ::) ::) ::) ::)
-
What's up LGM Fam?!?
Although I haven't logged on in a while, it's good to see the site is still up.
Anybody working on any new solos lately? I find that it's good to keep those "chops" up and to always have a repertoire ready...just in case.
Lately, I've been learning Angella Christie's version of "Total Praise". Check her out on youtube or listen to her "Breath of Life" CD...amazing!
Well, hope to chat soon!
Peace and Blessings,

The most powerful song that I have played is Center of My Joy by Richard Smallwood.
-
Awesome by Pastor Charles Jenkins.. when my church performed it I took a part soloing the melody and it was amazing how god moved during the song.
-
"Speak to My Heart" By: Donnie McClurkin
"More Than Anything" By: Lamar Campbell
Its alot more.
-
When it comes to the entire body of work....the musicianship, the message of the song, the building of the song from beginning to end, the song energy....hands down, my choice is HOSANNA by Kirk Franklin. Its not a slow one like most others above, but to me is the most powerful that i've played.
-
More than anything, speak to my heart, Thankyou Lord, and I love you Lord today.
