Many of us who sing in the church have traditionally sang and hoped the pianist could remotely keep up. This does not have to be this way at all! Keep in mind that a good pianist could make the singer. That's right, there are some pianists who can bring the song out of the average singer. Holy Ghost filled folk only have the follow the utterance of the Holy Ghost and feel thier way through the song. A PROFESSIONAL PIANIST IS NOT NECCESSARILY THE BEST PIANIST FOR YOUR STYLE!
I sang at weddings in Tennessee; therefore, I will say this based on what I know. I heard Antwaun sang "My Soul Loves Jesus," and he emotionalized the song all the way through. On this one, he cannot glide because the MUSIC or the PIANIST is all over the place. I stopped a pianst once while singing a special and told her that I would continue acapella. This is a very "Affective" song, which makes it extremely important for the musician be on the same page as the singer.
Mr. Harold Perry...I would love to hire you to play for me in my concerts...how can I contact you? Your skill at the keyboard is wonderful! Love it...truly.
@PSALMSOFSONGS: "Melisma" is an expressive vocal phrase or passage consisting of several notes sung to one syllable. I agree with PrettyVillan...runs are the order of the day and certainly show off the singers vocal control but there are times when showing control in NOT using them but simply singing the phrase sans "melisma" that make the song have a wider appeal across cultures. This young man certainly has an exceptional gift. I like runs & melisma but believe you shouldn't start with them.
one of the greatest voices i ever heard in my life

I love this negro spiritual no matter who sings it but sometimes the runs and melisma takes away from it a little.
