If modern worship songs were recorded in the 1980’s, what would they sound like? Would there be influences of Boston, Journey, Phil Collins/Genesis and other groups in the sound?

I think so.

Many modern churches, through inception or adaptation, are utilizing a rhythm driven style of music. What I have tried to do through AnderKamp Music’s ‘Horns & Rhythm’ series is to create arrangements that are based around the modern rhythm section BUT that also feature a horn section. My purpose is intentional…to give more instrumentalists the opportunity to use their gifts to glorify God.

Horns & Rhythm – Retro Worship

Today’s worship songs with an 80’s sort of twist to them. You’ll hear obvious Boston, Journey, Genesis and Chicago type influences throughout the entire series. But most importanly, you’ll hear creative arrangement of modern worship songs that utilize both Horns AND Rhythm throughout!

Each arrangement is recorded with 2 trumpets, 2 saxes, 2 trombones and rhythm section. Written out piano and bass parts are included. Additional parts are also included for woodwinds and strings to add a sort of ‘rock orchestra’ feel to the arrangements. We’ve provided those parts to allow even more folks the opportunity to use their gifts.
