Annual Song Repertoire Register¶
Review window:
Song Selector:
Director:
Distinct titles sung by the congregation in the trailing 12 months: ___ / 50 maximum
Count every full congregational song title sung in the window — including Christmas and Holy Week titles, and each title in a medley — regardless of its stage (Rest and Archive titles still count until they age out). A reprise of the same title is not a new title. “Resting” a song does not free a slot today.
| # | Song title | Stage (Trial/Core/Rest/Archive) | First used | Most recent | Uses in window | Primary function/theme | Next planned | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ||||||||
| 2 | ||||||||
| 3 | ||||||||
| 4 | ||||||||
| 5 |
Add rows as needed, up to 50 titles in the rolling window.
New-song gate (before a title enters Trial)¶
- Proposed title:
- Six criteria confirmed in writing (theology · corporate intent · ownership · singability · clear confession · pastoral use):
- Line-by-line lyric review — Scripture references, concerns, ambiguities:
- Not a secular / generic love song; congregation does not sing in God’s voice (or documented leadership exception):
- Singability (untrained voice, row 12, published key):
- Repertoire function it adds (e.g. adoration · lament · confession · sending) and what it duplicates:
- Congregation-friendly key and teach strategy agreed with the Worship Lead:
- Planned first, second, and third outings:
- In the licensed catalog (or rights cleared; originals: writer splits):
- Director approval (pastoral review if theology-sensitive):
Quarterly diet review¶
- Strong congregational songs to retain:
- Trial songs to establish or release:
- Overused songs to rest:
- Archived songs worth returning:
- Missing biblical / theological themes:
- Range, tempo, style, language, or accessibility gaps:
- Titles aging out of the window next quarter / capacity beneath the 50-title ceiling:
