BRIEF DESCRIPTION & SCREENSHOT

LAY UP YOUR TREASURES - A601 - Piano, Vocals & Small Orchestra

The A601 is a traditional hymn arrangement of an original Christian bible song featuring call & response style M/F chorus sounds. Single octave melody range makes this song relatively easy and fun to sing.

I think of this tune as an inspirational hymn with gospel stylings. The traditional composition elements are complimented by a few more modern rock/pop touches.

Arrangement A601 contains a simple yet memorable piano part (accurate guitar chord diagrams are included) plus full parts for a string section (string bass, cello, violin), plus a horn part, and an upright bass part.

This song features famous verbatim lyrics from Book of Matthew and Book of John KJV.

NOTE: The FREE Super Packet file for this song is currently under construction. Coming soon.
 

SHEET MUSIC NOTATIONS

The volume dynamics markings, "pedal", "swing" and "straight" notations are all present in the sheet music to force the computer software to output the audio of the tracks with the most natural feel possible. Btw the "swing" setting (moving the eighth notes behind the beat) is adjustable from 51-99% and usually it works best around 60%.

SHEET MUSIC TEMPO

As far as usable tempo range: As a rule the Shag Evans Sing-A-Long soundtrack demos are recorded at a fast clip (just beneath where the music sounds rushed) and that is the marking that goes on the published sheet music. But playing at faster or slower tempos is always an option -- including even much slower depending on the song. Adjust according to taste.
