This week, I worked up a modified arrangement of the wonderful old hymn "How Great Thou Art" for use in Sunday's services at Providence Baptist Church. I wanted to record a reference track for the worship band to listen and practice to (since it's a bit late in the week to be introducing music ... ahem ...), so I knew that was on my agenda for tonight.
Our church has been going through a home-based study of the topic of "Worship" (see http://pbcharrisburg.org/resources/worship_study/index if you're interested in the materials), and one of the key components of the study is worshiping in the home together as a family. There are many ways to do this, of course, but I'm blessed with a family that loves music, and loves to make music. So I gathered the family together, distributed chord charts, and setup the recording gear. What resulted was a solid (if imperfect) reference track for the worship band to use, but more important, a digital treasure for the Pilato family, remembering a time we lifted our voices and instruments together in praise.
Amy Lyn Pilato - lead vocals
C. Michael Pilato - fingerstyle guitar, bass guitar, vocals
Gavin Pilato - rhythm guitar
Aidan Pilato - cajon (percussion)
* Kaelyn was sleeping at the time, else she surely would have provided her own slobber-coated contribution to the track. Maybe next time, Sweetheart...
