How Excellent is Thy Name - Hosanna Integrity 12, Arise and Sing.

Joyful, energetic praise number. I like to use this piece as an opener, and bring a bunch of flaggers running in with colorful pennants. Lends itself well to military moves because of the strong beat. We opened a dance conference at Founder's Inn in Virginia Beach with this once, and the music leader said, "Wow! When all those flags came running in, it was like something from DisneyWorld, only much better!"





All Consuming Fire - Hosanna Integrity 15 In His Presence (Worship: coming into the presence of God.) Choreographed for a solo dancer, fire flags, and Seven Spirits Banners. Have also used 30 foot long fire silks with rods on the end which are hung from the rafters and manipulated by a dancer. (you can get a glimpse of them in the background <URL url="http://zionfirefriends.com/index.php?showtopic=290&view=findpost&p=2152793">HERE.

You can let this piece run into the next song effectively as well which is "Take me into the Holy of Holies." Another favorite piece which uses the same elements is Let your Fire Fall Hosanna, Paul Wilbur Holy Fire



Hymn of Glory Hosanna Integrity 22, Enter His Gates (Throne room worship.) Awe-inspiring music that keeps building to a glorious crescendo. My favorite choreography for this involves many banners, each one grouped with holy objects related to it. For instance, Living Word banner with dancers carrying two torah scrolls. A King of Kings banner grouped with several crowns & scepter, etc. Each group proceeds up the aisle and then peels off and continues to circle the room through out the piece. The last group goes to the platform and makes a tableau for the ending. The dancers in each group have a choreography that they do at the end of each chorus phrase; "Glory hallelujah!...Glory hallelujah!"...on that last JAH!, the banner bearers rock back & forth in place as the dances do their choreography, and then the procession proceeds.
