Split-channel accompaniment trax can be used for both rehearsal and performance. Each contains the instrumental accompaniment on one channel, vocals on the other. For performance purposes, only the accompaniment channel is used. Note - on split-channel trax of musicals where there are solos, duets, or trios as well as the full choir, the solo, duet, or trio voices will not be heard on the split-trax. What is a preview pack? A preview pack includes the complete book of the collection or musical and a full-length, professional quality stereo recording. Preview packs are an ideal way to preview Lillenas collections or musicals. Because preview packs are provided at a minimum cost for the purpose of previewing music, there is a limit of one per title, per church. Sorry, opened preview packs may not be returned.

Octavo is a term referring to anthems printed individually rather than in books or collections. On this web site, the term anthem is used exclusively.

Rehearsal tracks are an excellent tool to help choir singers learn their parts for musicals. Each set contains four recording masters - one for each part (soprano, alto, tenor, bass). The entire choir and the accompaniment can be heard on each tape; however, one part (soprano, for instance) is dominant. There is a moderate charge to make copies for choir members which you report on the Rehearsal Agreement which comes with your order for Rehearsal Masters. This charge covers only the cost of royalties. Payment must be returned with the completed Rehearsal Agreement form. What are Lillenas MIDI Trax?

This DVD accompaniment is very easy to use. DVD players work just like CD players. Plug in your DVD audio out (left and right) in to a sound system in the same way you would with your CD player. Then connect a video cable from your Video Out port of the DVD player to the video projector input port. From the main menu of the DVD choose from the three audio accompaniment options that are offered.- Split Track Accompaniment: This is the traditional split-track mix with the orchestral track on the left and the vocals (with no solos or narration) on the right.
- Click Track Accompaniment: This is a special split-track mix with the orchestral track on the left and the click-track on the right. If you are using a live orchestra, this feature will help the conductor synchronize the orchestra with the video. A two measure count (in tempo) has been provided before the down beat for thye conductor and the rhythm section. Send this click track signal through your sound system into the headphones of the conductor and rhythm players.
- Stereo Track Accompaniment: This feature will allow your choir to be accompanied by the orchestral instrumentation alone, mixed in full stereo.
After the playback option has been selected from the main menu, playback will pause, displaying a black screen. This allows the video to be displayed to the audience without displaying the menu to the audience. If playing from a DVD player, simply pressing 'play' or 'enter' will start the video. If playing the DVD from a computer, a mouse click on the screen or 'return' will start the video.
There is also a Full Mix Demonstration included. This demonstration track will provide your musicians and choir with a reference example for rehearsal. This version may also be used creatively as a worship element where live vocals are not available. I am looking for a particular song. How do I find it? The Lillenas web site features a handy SongFinder which will allow you to obtain a list of all Lillenas publications containing the song of your choice. Click here to go directly to SongFinder. You will also find a link to SongFinder in the gray navigation bar across the top of any product page on the Lillenas Music web site. What is a Rhythm Out Mix? On selected Anthems, a specially mixed accompaniment trax allows the local director with a rhythm section, but no orchestra the option to have their instrumentalists play along with the orchestra track. A special Click Mix has been provided on the accompaniment CD to help you accomplish this. |
