30 Years of Music Arranging? Hear My Work From the 1990s! David Wesley 2024-01-14 | This week I stumbled across a picture from 1992 or 1993, showing my younger cousins something on my Tandy 1000 TL/2 computer - which had my very first music software for writing/arranging. It hit me that I've now been writing musical arrangements for over 30 years!

Mary Did You Know (Desmond, Age 7) David Wesley 2023-12-23 | Mary Did You KnowWords by Mark LowryMusic by Buddy Greene©1991, 1993 Rufus Music / Curb Word MusicThis was a video I hadn't expected to make! Desmond learned "Mary Did You Know" with other kids from church for their Christmas play last Saturday. When he asked me today if he could record it for YouTube, I dropped what I was doing, set up the studio, and quickly learned an accompaniment on piano. There's no guarantee that moments like this will come again, so it's important to embrace them.

Homeless in 44 Days!! (Our church, that is) David Wesley 2023-12-17 | Sometimes you just can't catch a break! We've just settled into a new church, but the building that hosts us (in just a small corner of it) has been sold to the city for use by the police force. Our rental agreement is over in just a few weeks and we have no idea where we'll be going! Prayer would be appreciated.In the meantime, we'll try to focus on the positives - like your warm reception of my last music video, Carol of The Bells.

Carol of The Bells (A Cappella) David Wesley 2023-12-09 | Carol of The BellsMusic by Mykola LeontovichWords by Peter WilhouskyA Cappella Arrangement by David WesleyLyrics ©1936 Carl Fischer LLCCarol of The Bells originates with Ukrainian Mykola Leontovich's 1916 composition Shchedryk ("bountiful evening"). Later adapted by Peter Wilhousky into the form made famous around the world, this Christmas carol has been a favourite of choirs and orchestras worldwide. It was suggested to me as a possible virtual choir, but I decided that such a challenging piece might be better suited for a solo work. I hope you enjoy my brand new a cappella arrangement!As a first for this channel, this video was shot on location! Thanks to Rev. Brad Peters of Murray Street Baptist Church in Peterborough, Ontario for letting me borrow the pews for a couple of hours. The lighting, framing, recording and editing all presented new challenges for me - I hope the shift from my regular studio setup is a refreshing change!Visit Murray Street Baptist Church: murraystreetlive.ca---------Support me on Patreon: http://patreon.com/davidwesleyMerch Store: teespring.com/stores/davidwesleyFacebook: http://facebook.com/davidwesleymusicInstagram: @davidwesleymusicTwitter: @singdavidwesleyE-mail List: davidwesley.ca/email#worship #acappella #acapella #christmas
The Potters Hand (A Cappella) - 1990s Worship David Wesley 2023-11-04 | The Potter's HandWords and Music by Darlene ZschechA Cappella Arrangement by David Wesley©1994 Wondrous WorshipLike most songs from my Evolution of 1990's Worship medley, this 1994 song didn't cross my radar until the 2000's. When I worked as a worship intern at my church during grad school, one of my jobs was to arrange new lead sheets for our vocalists to learn consistent harmonies. The Potter's Hand was among those songs. The chord structure moves in and out of dissonance and tension, like a piece of clay assuming various forms before reaching its final shape and baked in the kiln. None of us has reached our final shape, when we will be like Christ and be able to know Him fully. We cooperate with the Holy Spirit in the process of sanctification, as His power transforms us. Sometimes we find ourselves in twisty, awkward shapes, but by faith we know that God will complete his masterpiece - us!---------Support me on Patreon: http://patreon.com/davidwesleyMerch Store: teespring.com/stores/davidwesleyFacebook: http://facebook.com/davidwesleymusicInstagram: @davidwesleymusicTwitter: @singdavidwesleyE-mail List: davidwesley.ca/email#worship #acappella #acapella #80schristianmusic

I first heard it at the church plant I attended at the turn of the century as a university student, and was a memorable part of my introduction to contemporary worship music.Last year I had the great privilege of partnering with Brian Doerksen on a virtual choir version of his song "The River" (youtu.be/XhwcRXKCwec). Prior to the premiere, we teamed up for a charity livestream event, during which Brian tells the story of how "Come Now is The Time to Worship" was written.

Evolution of 1980s Worship - A Cappella Medley David Wesley 2022-08-27 | A Cappella Arrangement by David WesleyThe 1980's is a decade marked by the rise of many gifted songwriters for the Church - many of whom are still active and celebrated today. This medley of 25 songs is the soundtrack of my childhood - though it did take my own church (and hymnbook publishers) a few years to catch on to these soon-to-be classics. I hope you enjoy remembering what the songwriters of the 1980's had to say to and about our great God and Saviour.-----------Support me on Patreon: http://patreon.com/davidwesleyMerch Store: teespring.com/stores/davidwesleyFacebook: http://facebook.com/davidwesleymusicInstagram: @davidwesleymusicTwitter: @singdavidwesleyE-mail List: davidwesley.ca/emailSong List:----------------00:00 Create In Me a Clean Heart00:29 In Moments Like These00:53 King of Kings01:04 I Will Call Upon The Lord01:18 All Hail King Jesus01:37 El Shaddai01:56 There is a Redeemer02:16 Change My Heart O God02:34 People Need The Lord02:53 Holy Ground03:12 Come Into the Holy of Holies03:31 As The Deer03:47 Thy Word03:57 He is Exalted04:21 Victory Chant04:34 My Life is In You04:46 Blessed Be The Name of The Lord05:04 Shine Jesus Shine05:21 I Stand in Awe05:42 Holy and Anointed One06:04 Celebrate Jesus06:14 Awesome God06:27 God Is The Strength Of My Heart06:44 Faithful One07:01 Lord I Lift Your Name on High07:41 Outro#acapella #worship #praise #christianmusic

Love Song For a Saviour (A Cappella) David Wesley 2022-07-02 | Words & Music by Dan Haseltine, Matt Bronleewe, Charlie Lowell & Stephen MasonArrangement by David Wesley---------"Love Song For A Saviour" is one of the highlights of Jars of Clay's self-titled debut album. Despite the simple and repetitive words of the chorus ("I want to fall in love with you"), this is no simple song! The lyrics paint three pictures of faith that make us question our own. The first is a carefree, childlike faith that promises to grow in understanding. Then follows a cold and unfeeling faith that might only be external. Last, we have a faith struggling with complete surrender to Christ as both saviour and LORD.This is my second cover from this excellent album.

Revelation Song (Virtual Choir #12) - Featuring Elijah de la Motte David Wesley 2022-04-09 | Revelation SongWords and Music by Jennie Lee Riddle© 2004 Gateway Create PublishingArrangement by David WesleyCello Loops performed by @Elijah de la Motte** Now available on iTunes, Spotify and other major music services! **Revelation Song offers a glimpse into the throne room of heaven and the ceaseless worship of the angels and saints. The song has such a deceptively simple structure - just the same 4 chords repeating over and over. But within that structure is so much room for experimentation, wonder and surprise. I can't think of a better way to worship the God who is the same yesterday, today, and forever but whose mercies are new every morning!Virtual Choir #12 is a joint effort of 120 singers and ASL signers from 29 countries. In there you'll find kindergartners, great-grandparents, and everything in between! I'm so grateful for the chance to work with such a fantastic (and diverse) musical community over the last 5 years. Thanks to the newcomers and veterans alike!Joining us on cello is 16-year-old Elijah de la Motte. Elijah is a pre-college student at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and appeared on America's Got Talent. He's #3 in a musical family of 10 kids (and very busy mom and dad). I wrote 24 loops of 4 bars each for Elijah to record, with nothing but a metronome as a guide. I was able to mix and match these 24 loops to create the highs and lows that give the performance its shape (and breaks through all the repetition). I hope you were as blown away by Elijah's passionate performance as I was!Elijah's Channel: youtube.com/channel/UCennhGmJCvmaYh7Jr7RgOpQElijah's Instagram: instagram.com/cellodude06---------Support me on Patreon: http://patreon.com/davidwesleyMerch Store: teespring.com/stores/davidwesleyFacebook: http://facebook.com/davidwesleymusicInstagram: @davidwesleymusicTwitter: @singdavidwesleyE-mail List: davidwesley.ca/email#worship #cello #choir
