When I play accompaniment, I meet many churches and guidance.
When I was a middle and high school student, the evangelist sang this song as fast as if it were in a revival meeting. Because the "My God" part is so long, it's hard to count the beats, and it's just to give you the feeling you want. The fast tempo was pretty good...
I still can see the image of the evangelist who sang "My God" and praised "My Lord, my strength."
Naturally, I thought this song was very fast.
However, I met this song at another church and it turned out to be very slow. The other one was somewhere in the middle. I did not know where to focus. But its not very common to sing extremely fast or slowly.
The same hymn, CCM, church to church, why is the tempo so different?
The guidance s should not take the tempo they know for granted, but rather tell the accompanists what to do with tempo. Likewise, the accompanists should not take the tempo they know for granted, but should ask the guidance. If we communicate, we can develop in a better way.
If it's a praise I haven't seen in a long time or a new one, don't bother with the communication process. Don't be shy about the process of communication. As a 30 years of accompaniment myself, I sometimes think of a different tempo than an guidance.
Of course, if you ask me the praise I call every day, it makes me feel bad. It's important to remember well. All the accompanists have this situation.
Do you agree?
There are situations where I have to go to another church and play the accompaniment. I think I played this song with the tempo that you sing on average. You have to assume that all the songs I upload can have different tempo for different churches and guides, and that if the tempo changes, the performance can be different.
There's a lot I'd like to tell you in this song, but I suddenly remember about evangelist.
I changed the chord, so I keep telling you to use the parts you like.
