Dear Lydians,<\/p>\n

Last Sunday, a few of us stayed behind to learn the harmony parts to “Come Down O Love Divine,” which we will be singing for the next few weeks.<\/div>\n
The group included singers of all levels, including those who have never learned to read music. \u00a0We had a blast, made great strides together, and we invite everyone to join us after service as we learn to sing together.<\/div>\n
For those wanting to put in a little practice before our next post-service harmonizing jam, here are some mp3s of “Come Down O Love Divine” to help you practice whatever harmony line appeals to you. \u00a0Each mp3 features a different line\u2014soprano, alto, tenor, or bass\u2014played on piano, with a full choir panned to the right. \u00a0You can adjust the left-right balance of your playback device (or slide off the right ear of your headphones) to increase or decrease the isolation of the piano illustration of your chosen part.<\/div>\n
The sheet music is here<\/a>. \u00a0Note that each mp3 starts with the last phrase of the soprano melody\u2014”And kindle it your holy flame bestowing”\u2014because we always sing the first verse in unison. \u00a0This little lead in lets you practice the transition to your harmony part.<\/div>\n
Come down join us next Sunday. \u00a0All levels are welcome, especially those who consider themselves beginners!<\/div>\n
