Most every other web search hit just nattered on about several of the artists, without listing every one and which song they did.
It was absolutely my pleasure :) Yeah, I actually did a bunch of Google searches and didn't find anything close to a complete list of the song performed, much less some of the behind-the-scenes information (I was thrilled at how quickly our little community here came together to piece together the details). I do hope this list helps a lot of people out there who are searching for this information.

God bless!
Steve

Thank you so much for solving the mystery for us, westermaab!

Here's a link to Andy's and Kylie's Instagram pages where they reflect on the service.

They did a phenomenal job at literally setting the stage for the rest of the evening, and it says a lot that their IG posts are just about gratitude and giving the glory to the Lord. Let's pray that the Spirit continues to work to bring healing and unity to this nation.

This is another one that's been stumping me. I can't find reference to who the worship leader who kicked off the service was (and who did an excellent job). Looks like Facebook is stumped and Reddit is.......Reddit.

The closest I came was assuming he was someone from Elevation Worship or a similar praise and worship team.

If anyone can identify him, please share here :)

Here's a follow up for David (and anyone else looking for the mass choir singing Great Is Thy Faithfulness and It Is Well With My Soul).

Turns out it was the Grace Community Church Congregation and Orchestra.

It Is Well With My Soul

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

I told you I would keep obsessively looking ;)

God bless!
Steve

p.s. Check out their site for their hymnal and their YouTube site for lots of other hymn recordings. Another great find by the TPUSA team.

Hi Reta. Yes, I've re-watched it several times, not just in researching this thread but because it was one of the most uplifting "revivals" I've seen in decades.

People who shout "separation of church and state" don't understand what it means. It was written by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists, promising that the government would never interfere with THEM, not that public leaders shouldn't apply the good teachings in their faith to their public service.

I truly hope this horrible incident will wake the faithful in this nation to turn back to God and heal us. When Erika Kirk announced, in tears, her forgiveness for the person who killed her husband and orphaned her one year old son and her three year old daughter, that moment sent shockwaves that reverberated even in the pits of hell. Her family will be attacked relentlessly by the enemy (and I'm talking about the one mentioned in 1 Peter 5:8, not any political enemies), and need our support.

Thanks for sharing...God bless!
Steve

Thank you for this wonderful list. Might you be able to help me identify the recorded choral hymn anthems played throughout the memorial service between speakers? I was a choral director, and these recordings spoke deeply to me.
Thanks,
David (decsbg)
Hi David,

I thought I heard every large mixed choir arrangement of It Is Well WIth My Soul known to man, but this one is stumping me.

Not only is it stumping me, but it's also stumping Shazam (which uses Apple licensed tracks) and YouTube Content ID. Which means this recording is likely not commercially available.

There were two hymns that they cycled between: It Is Well With My Soul and Great Is Thy Faithfulness

The closest I've been able to come is this recording of It Is Well With My Soul and this recording of Great Is Thy Faithfulness, both by The Mormon Tabernacle Choir (arranged by Mack Wilberg). I can't get a 100% match, but the combination of the choir, orchestra, arrangement, dramatic arcs, and reverb led me down that road. [UPDATE: I found it!! See reply below].

I'll keep obsessively looking :)

I noticed a lot of the other incidental music came from The Worship Initiative.

Give us Your Heart (Instrumental)

King of Kings
https://www.youtube.com/live/jAWG_LCRIW ... w_&t=23297

All Hail King Jesus
https://www.youtube.com/live/jAWG_LCRIW ... XM&t=24463

You Deserve It All
https://www.youtube.com/live/jAWG_LCRIW ... aW&t=24490

Most of their background stock tracks seem to have come from StreamBeats Music. Examples:

Evergreen Forest
https://www.youtube.com/live/jAWG_LCRIW ... mc&t=24588

Snow Drift
https://www.youtube.com/live/jAWG_LCRIW ... xh&t=24652



The track that really touched me was this one (by The Worship Initiative), played as Erika Kirk took the stage. While the track doesn't have words, from the music you can tell the track is perfectly named, and perfect for the moment.

Yet Not I But Through Christ in Me
https://www.youtube.com/live/jAWG_LCRIW ... VZ&t=24767

I have to say the TPUSA team did an incredible job. It's taken me hours just to track down these sources but that team put together this flawless memorial service in less than a week. That in itself was a miracle.

God bless,
Steve
