World Library Podcast Episode 4: An American Icon in the Vault—How WLP did an album with Bing Crosby https://voicesasone.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/WorldLibraryPodcast4.mp3
This is a special episode of the World Libary Podcast. We answer the question: How did WLP do an album with Bing Crosby? To help answer that question I talk to Betty Zins (Organist on the Bing Crosby Album and long-time editor at WLSM/WLP) and Marlene Averbeck (Member of the Bonaventure Choir and featured soloist on track 3 "The First Nowell").
Here are some of the artifacts from our research.
The original 1957 Cover. Has a label of WLSM5 which means it was the 5th album for World Library of Sacred Music.
An article from the Catholic Newspaper from the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.
The original Ad for the Bing Crosby record in 1957.
The tape that Bing mailed to WLSM in 1956. We still have it and it still plays like it was recorded yesterday! It has just Bing's narration which was added to the new release as a bonus track.
This was found inside the tape box, an order for the initial 1000 copies of the album signed by Omer Westendorf.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer 1957. The article suggests that Omer and Bing met, but they didn't.
The 2017 re-issue. It's an official Bing Crosby release with the backing of Bing Crosby Enterprises. Available on CD and limited edition LP exclusively through WLP.
The review of the album that appeared in the Fall BING Magazine.
You can order this on CD ($10.00) or LP ($25.00) plus shipping and applicable taxes at:
Bing Crosby CD at WLP Bing Crosby LP at WLP Bing Crosby CD and LP at Amazon.com ($3.99 shipping)
Feel free to leave your comments and questions and I will answer them on the next podcast.

We don’t always have to play everything the way it is written down or recorded. That’s one version! For example, here’s the way the Glory to God from Mass of Saint Ann is recorded:
It starts our big and full, 3 parts vocals, trumpet, drums, bass, guitars...everything. That is one way to do it.
STUDIO VERSION
https://voicesasone.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Glory-to-God-STUDIO-excerpt.mp3
But here's another way that allows you to build a little more:
LIVE MASS VERSION
https://voicesasone.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/MOSA-Gloria-excerpt.mp3
Notice how it started with just piano and then vocals...in unison. Everything came in gradually toward the end of the first Refrain. Finally, the whole band was in in measure 11, not measure 1.
Here’s how it could be noted in the score:
MOSA Glory to God excerpt
I think you will find that this will keep your music fresh and, well, unpredictable in a way. In a good way. It's a nice change of pace from hearing the same arrangement over and over again.

Featured song: I Am Yours (Consume Me Completely) by Trevor Thomson In the past I have talked about taking a piece of music and making your own custom arrangement out of what's on the page. A lot of the time we are reading lead sheets, so there isn't much direction on what the arrangement should be. Today I'd like to look at the music for Trevor Thomson's I Am Yours (Consume Me Completely) and share my ideas as well as an audio sample of how we played it at Mass.
Here are three pages of the octavo I've marked up. (Same goes for a lead sheet.)
This was one of the first times we played this song, so I really wanted people to learn it AS we sang and prayed it together. A clear introduction of the melody is crucial for a new song, and here you will notice that in the instrumental intro, as well as the first time the Refrain is sung.

This song, and many beautiful others, are found on Trevor's new CD with WLP, In Shadow and In Light.

Behold the Lamb of God by Matt Maher (spiritandsong.com) (from the CD "Overflow") - I have also found that the refrain from this song works well to further enhance the reading of the Passion, which is, of course, very lengthy. Together with your liturgist and priests, consider 3 or 4 points during the reading to pause and sing this refrain with the assembly.

Hey everyone. Thought I'd share a little sample from two of our Masses this past weekend. What you will hear is the Alleluia played by one ensemble at a Mass, and the same Alleluia played by another ensemble at a different Mass. The drummers at each of these Masses play the Gospel Acclamation with pretty much the same feel, but they each come in at different times (and bass guitar follows). Each has a different effect.Here is the score:Alleluia / Gospel Acclamation1. Here's the first 'live recorded' version from our 8:30 am Mass. The bass and drummer come in right at the top, just like in the Glory to God and Amen from Mass of Saint Ann. (This is a different, newer Alleluia.)Alleluia / Gospel Acclamation - 8:30 Mass2. Here's the second one, from our 6:00 pm Mass. Notice in this version, the piano and guitar set the song in motion first...voices leading the way. Then, on the higher, more elongated 'Alleluia' part, both the bass and drums come in. Everything backs down for the verse, then back up for the Refrain.Alleluia / Gospel Acclamation - 6:00 MassBoth work just fine, in my opinion, but they can help us start thinking about arranging songs in different ways for different effects.One other note on this arrangement: notice the 'hole' in the sound, right at the end of the verse just before it goes back into the 'Alleluia.' We sing, "all things in heaven and on earth are yours" and then there is a rest on beats 4–6. I just think it's a nice effect and allows everything to breathe, while setting up the next big 'Alleluia.' (Again, this is similar to the rests in the last Refrain of Mass of Saint Ann's Glory to God, right after the first "Glory!")
