ABOUT THE MUSIC
MISSION STATEMENT
Versatility. Excellence. Quality.
JWP Liturgical Music acknowledges the Liturgy as an art form of the highest degree. Where else, besides nature itself, is the glory of our Creator made so manifest?
Through the words of our prayers, and the melodies of our song, the Liturgy is the apotheosis of created things given up in offering to Christ, Our Savior.
THE IMPORTANCE OF SINGING
Make a Joyful Noise
A primary focus of JWP Liturgical Music is that all congregational materials listed here be easily singable for the average parishioner. If the ultimate goal is to get the people in the pews to lift their voices in song to Christ, then the goal of JWP Liturgical Music is to make that attainable for them, all while keeping the quality of the music itself intact. JWP Liturgical Music strives to leave the more interesting harmonic structures to the instrumentalists, while formulating the melodies in such a way that a parishioner can easily be led through them.
INSTRUMENTATION
The Sound of Trumpets for the Lord
It is the goal of JWP Liturgical Music that each composition offered here have a variety of different instrumentations available to suit the unique needs of each individual parish. Whether you have a small or large choir, or a team of instrumentalists adding their talents to the liturgy, JWP Liturgical Music provides possibilities that can be seamlessly layered to meet the capability and needs of your own parish.
