Fire of Commitment, The
Written to mark the closing celebration of First Unitarian Universalist (UU) Nashville's 50th anniversary in 2002. Its driving rhythm and celebratory tone have made it a popular selection for ordinations and stewardship campaigns in recent years. Don't let the 5/4 time signature fool you—just count steady eighth notes and the implied 6/8 + 2/4 beat will come through quite naturally. It is highly recommended to use some form of percussion when singing this song. A djembe and shaker will do just fine, or add a full rhythm section if possible. A recording of this piece is available on Jason Shelton's CD, The Fire of Commitment.
