Worship Time Songs Volumes One and Two
These songs were written in response to the requirement of the 1988 Education Reform Act that Collective Worship in County Schools should be ‘of a broadly Christian character’ and the requirement of the 1992 Education (Schools) Act that schools should contribute to ‘pupils’ spiritual and moral development’.
All the songs reflect values which accord with those of the Christian Gospel, such as honesty, tolerance, care for others, integrity, compassion, loyalty, justice, ethical endeavour, a love of nature and a concern for conservation, courage, perseverance, equality of opportunity, human and animal rights, and a recognition of human weakness.
While some of the songs have an explicitly theistic focus and some tell stories from the Bible, none is Christocentric, i.e. addressed to Jesus Christ or presupposing an exclusively Christian theological framework.
The words of the songs have a direct appeal to the real world of children’s experience, often making use of phrases and expressions they can own. They were written with children aged between 6 and 13 years in mind.
All the songs have been trialled in schools and most have reported that children have learnt them quickly and easily from listening to the recorded accompaniments. Some teachers, however, have preferred to introduce the songs by using a piano or keyboard and for this reason simple melody line scores with chords of all the songs are provided on a second CD.
One of the features of the songs is the powerful, instrumental and orchestrated accompaniment and arrangement of each song. Sometimes as many as eight tracks of music are used simultaneously and each verse of a song normally has something distinctive about the accompaniment. This has the effect of stimulating and supporting good singing and of sustaining children’s interest and enthusiasm.
Volume 1 differs from Volume 2 in so far as the songs of Volume 1 begin with a full ‘playover’ of the tune. In Volume 2 each song has a four or eight bar introduction and goes straight into verse one. Each song has a short concluding coda.
