Degrés

15 songs To accompany the rhythm of worship: welcome, praise, repentance, blessing…

Music varying in style to reflect the diversity of church worship.

Resources which are also varied according to the need: score for piano or guitar, for a worship group, fin unisson or in 4 part harmony.

The title is a reference to Psalms 120-134, the 15 songs of ‘cantiques des degrés’ ‘songs of ascent’ in English, to accompany a people on a journey, towards a feast day. The texts alternate original creations with re-workings of historic and biblical texts

Degrés wasconceived in collaboration with 3 pastors, for the texts : Alexandre ANTOINE (ADD), Gilles BOUCOMONT (EPUdF) et Jean-Luc GADREAU (FEEB)

The song ‘Viens nous parler’ text by Jean-Luc Gadreau, sung by the choir of 1000 directed by John at Protestants en Fête, at Bercy Stadium (now Accor Arena) in 2013.
