Vocal elaborations
11/20/2007 7:35:20 AMI liked this arrangement for the most part, but I did have to modify it before performing it. Unfortunately, in a lot of the piano music for current contemporary christian artists, the person that creates the arrangement includes an attempt at notating the vocal elaborations that the original artist sings. I have tried some of these as written, and they tend to be rather awkward. I have found with those sections that it is usually best to cut them and move to the final restatement of the song and the final cadence. In this case it was "Come to Jesus...and live", which worked quite well and cut the vocal elaborations which would not have been appropriate for the performance setting.
