Taste and See, based on Psalm 33 (Paul F. Page)

March 16, 2017 - 2:27am — Richard Schletty

Here is a story showing my progress in learning "Taste and See" – from my initial slow, choppy guitar exploration (first YouTube video), to my basement studio recording and mixdown using Paul's excellent, flowing piano track (second YouTube video), to our presentation at Mass on 2nd Sunday of Lent (audio file attachment at end of story). You can also download a piano soundtrack MP3 file and sing along or make your own recording (which I encourage you to share with us).

Taste and See, based on Psalm 33, was composed by Paul F. Page (pictured at left). Visit Paul's awesome music site: www.paulpage.org

Download the sheet music and an MP3 audio demo using the links at end of story. Vocals and archtop guitar: Richard Schletty. Piano: Paul Page. Mixed in Apple Logic Pro X by Richard.

The third attachment, Taste and See-Paul Page-St. Mary.mp3, is our live presentation at St. Mary's Church at 4:30 Mass on 3/11/2017.

Taste And See (based on Psalm 33)

REFRAIN
Taste and see that the Lord is sweet.
Blessed is the one who comes to Him.
The blessed Lord is our refuge. He is our shield.
Praise and honor Him! Praise the Lord!

1. I will bless the Lord at all times.
I will sing His praises evermore.
In the Lord forever shall my soul find rest.
Listen ev'ryone and rejoice. O praise the Lord!

2. Magnify the Lord with me.
Let us all together bless His name.
Searching for the Lord, He always hears my voice.
Listen ev'ryone and rejoice. O praise the Lord!

Thanks, Rene, for listening

I am gratified that you took the time to listen to the attached sound file. I sang at St. Mary's for about ten years but quit when they banished piano and guitar from the liturgy. Two new pastors who have a different take on liturgical music. They only want organ and plainchant. Oh well, it has given me more time to devote to TopCatholicSongs.com as well as InSong.org! They can't take away my air (internet) guitar! LOL

I am Catholic and a piano teacher. The Catholic Church has the most beautiful treasury of hymns. I want my students to study hymns. Also, I want to memorize the words of some of the hymns that are in Latin and having access to the sheet music will help with that. Thank you.

I have been a minister of music for almost 40 years, and I am, primarily, an ear-trained pianist/composer. I am hoping that, becoming a member, I will be able to find sheet music (mostly, lead sheets, if available), that also contain the guitar chords, as I, typically, see them, and then, improvise, accordingly.

I want my prayers, my songs to be heard. I grew up Catholic and I have been composing songs since I was 16. I compose in different languages. I sing my own songs and play most of the instruments. My goal is to share my gift with the Catholic world, the gift God gave me. As they say, singing is praying twice. I want also people to know how Catholicism is universal. The only difference is the language but everything is the same. I want to share my ways of praising the Lord's name, and...

I'm a harpist who arranges and records Gregorian chant for Irish wire-strung harp. In 2014 I released my first commercial CD, Vox Celeste, an album of eight layered tracks reminiscent of Enya's work, that featured my harp, pipe organ and synthesizer. Currently I'm working on my second studio album, Harpe Grégorienne, due out early next year. Vox Celeste is currently available on most major streaming platforms (with the exception of Spotify).
