Arranged by Original composition. 20th Century,Contemporary,Praise & Worship,Spiritual. Score. 62 pages. Francis Osentowski #686837. Published by Francis Osentowski (A0.1082668). DIRECTIONS FOR SINGING is my setting of the well-known text by John Wesley giving a litany of advice to congregational singers. My colleague at North Lake College was an outstanding bass/baritone and a church choir director. He handed me a copy of Wesley's directions for singers...found in many old hymnals...and we both enjoyed good laughs at how accurate the words are to modern congregations. My song is a type of theater presentation...or a short cantata and portrays the contrasting emotions in the text. For example: "Sing lustily and with good courage" ..."singing the songs of Satan"! Will be a dramatic high point! But, Wesley's beautiful ending makes a great conclusion. "Above all sing spiritually. Have and eye to God in every word you sing" Directions requires a good pianist but the voice part doesn't require a huge range. Note: there is a Mezzo Soprano score enclosed.
