Music for Next Sunday

Sung Psalms and Acclamations

by Kate Keefe

Let the people praise you, O God; let all the people praise you

In this time of trouble, when we are sad that many of us cannot sing together for the time being, one ray of light has been that many Churches are streaming their services online - and so we have seen more examples of Kate's music being sung. Here are some to give you an idea, and show you how different Churches with different resources can make the music come alive. Do let us know if you are using Kate's music, and please ask if you want to stream it in your services.
