The style of this solo varies from semi‐classical to soft rock, an absolute delight to listen to, as well as sing. It has multigenerational appeal. The words, inspired by the Biblical statement, “The Truth shall make you free” remind us that freedom is a song we all can sing, if we are listening to God, and willing to let God’s grace heal us. The apostle Paul tells us to “come boldly unto the throne of grace”. This solo will bring joy to any congregation.

This is an energetic contemporary solo with wonderful rhythms and simple harmonies which lend themselves to a band, piano, or organ accompaniment. The lyrics are an excellent reminder of what we all should be, “the children of light”. If you are looking for a different kind of solo to bless your congregation, this is it. Medium difficulty.

Lyrics by Carolyn Kardinal. Copyright 2008 C. Kardinal. From a personal experience in which she was instantaneously healed, Kardinal presents this solo as a first person ballad, with a fantastic chorus, “Come, walk on the water with me. Rise above the tempestuous sea.” Another congregation favorite! For Keyboard/Vocal. Low range (B-E').

Another lovely traditional style solo in which the vocals (an old Scottish/Welsh hymn) are dueted with an accompaniment of Nearer My God to Thee and Yes, Jesus Loves Me. A ballad in first person tells of the “Prodigal” experience and lends itself easily to guitar accompaniment. Lyrics by Carolyn Kardinal. Copyright 2008.

Joyful! Creative! This contemporary solo has been tested on all ages and has received a two‐thumbs‐up with it’s up‐tempo rhythms and Biblical text. There is even a place for the soloist to improvise a cadenza if desired. Medium difficulty, but it’s worth learning. I’ve tried it with some of my high school and college vocal students and they love it. Perfect for Thanksgiving services.

Musically, this solo is a simple presentation of a folk-like ballad which is a metaphor for the power of Love to redeem the human self from “the thorns of hate and lust and greed”.
