Let it Rise - AGM Worship (From the MD's Chair)

I will be capturing more footage every time I arrange, perform and/or music direct something. I will share these moments, because I hope they can be helpful to any aspiring musicians, arrangers and music directors out there. Think of it as an open look into my approach and my process. Hope you enjoy!

This video was recorded 100% Live with NO REHEARSAL TIME. The band came prepared and we only had time to run through a couple musical solutions. It is our rendition of the Gospel song "Let it Rise", by William Murphy. This arrangement is shaped after Deitrick Haddon's version of the same song.

Every single sound was recorded live, exception made for the Organ, which I later overdubbed (the organ player couldn't be there for the Live Recording).

Here's the original video from the Abounding Grace Ministries page.
