Special thanks to: Jason Comet (production), Kip Coerper (arrangement and instrumentation), and Erin Moore (instructions). 

Instructions

Please watch the instruction video above before you begin.

  • Use two devices (one to record yourself, one to listen to the accompaniment track).
  • Wear headphones to listen to the accompaniment track
  • Choose a blank, light background if possible
  • Wear red, green, or black
  • Press record before you press play for the accompaniment
  • Look up and smile, make “eye contact” with the camera lens
  • Unison verse 1 and 4, parts on verse 2 (no verse 3)
  • Tenors: last note is a G, not F#

Need help? Please email messenger@cnyepiscopal.org and we’ll connect you with a member of our Virtual Choir Team to walk you through the process.

Music: The Hymnal 1982, #100, verses 1, 2, and 4 only. If you don’t have a hymnal, music and lyrics are available free at hymnary.org.
