Title: Easy Fast Songs for Choir
Post by: PrayingPoet on March 28, 2011, 07:35:13 AM

Praise the Lord All,

I'm looking for suggestions on fast songs that are easy to play and easy to learn. What's in your arsenal?

More items are needed from you before suggestions can be made.

What is the age of the choir? (Youth choir, young adult, church choir, etc.)
What style of music do you do? (Ricky Dillard, Mississippi Mass, hymns, etc.)
Is this a church choir or a community choir?

Give us some background and we will be glad to help you. :)

It was a Praise Team but we are looking to go to more of a choir (overall).  Its a small church. Currently we sing Friend of God, Jesus brought the sunshine, Rejoice...those are our fast songs.  We also sing an original fast song that comes in handy on the fly.  We sing I give myself away, Let it Rain, How Great is Our God and others like I'm Ready Now.  There's now 1 & half Soprano, 1 & half Alto, 2 Tenor but we are praying for more.

Thanks. I really need to learn an easy way to play the cogic material.  I am a new player and have not gotten it down yet.  I've seen so many variations of how to run the baseline and I've been practicing but including that right hand is where it all gets the best of me.  Any suggestions
