Soloist Accompaniment Version of Album:
Hymns and Songs of My Mother


To be developed following instrumental version - target 2025

This singalong for soloists version is tailored for use by soloists. The lead is eliminated, but where vocalists provide additional harmonies, all those vocal harmonies are included, to enable soloists to provide performances that include the backing voices used on the vocal version of this album. As part of the digital download, we provide standard SATB sheet music the soloists can use for all hymns and songs that are in the public domain.

Additionally, the soloist version is explicitly tailored for use by untrained singers, i.e., those accustomed to singing along with a clear melody. This version includes a perceptible melody at all times for the soloist to know exactly where they are in the accompaniment they are singing along with. This requires adding the melody on numbers which do not include an instrumental melody. While this is a departure from accompaniment recordings intended for trained singers, where the singers are responsible for knowning the melody and timing, without any assistance from a melody accompaniment, we explicitly chose to provide clear melody guidance for what and where the soloists are to sing.

Anticipated settings where this approach better meets the needs of soloists, includes churches and homes where there is no band, organist, director, etc. to assist the soloist in knowing where to come in and what to sing. This soloist version provides a complete accompaniment, including the melody for the soloist to sing along with.
