Glory Glory
STYE1040 · Gospel Choir · Joel Negus
1:20·86 bpm·G
Soul, RetroChurch, Faith, Jesus

A short, bright uptempo hymn setting for 15-voice gospel choir and acoustic piano, tracked live in a cathedral room so the reverb is natural and roomy. At 86 BPM in G and only 79 seconds, it works as a compact celebratory statement rather than a full arrangement.

I Need Thee
STYE1040 · Gospel Choir · Joel Negus
2:34·76 bpm·A flat
Soul, RetroChurch, Emotional, Faith

The album's most inward cue: slow 76 BPM plea in A flat with Rhodes electric piano, Hammond organ and choir, no acoustic piano. Somber and emotionally heavy, with the live cathedral ambience giving the voices a devotional weight.

I'll Fly Way
STYE1040 · Gospel Choir · Joel Negus
2:16·172 bpm·A flat
Soul, RetroChurch, Faith, Jesus

The fastest cue here, a 172 BPM barnstorming piano-and-choir hymn in A flat recorded live with the full 15-voice ensemble. Joyful, hand-clapping revival energy with obvious forward drive and a clear finish.

Oh How I Love Jesus
STYE1040 · Gospel Choir · Joel Negus
2:18·140 bpm·A flat
Soul, RetroChurch, Faith, Jesus

A mid-uptempo 140 BPM piano and choir reading of a familiar hymn in A flat, warm and affirming rather than frenetic. The live cathedral capture keeps the ensemble front and centre through a straightforward, resolved arc.

Pass Me Not
STYE1040 · Gospel Choir · Joel Negus
3:40·152 bpm·C
Soul, RetroChurch, Faith, Jesus

At 3:39 the longest performance on the album, a 152 BPM piano-led choir hymn in C with room for the ensemble to build and repeat across verses. Uplifting live gospel with churchy acoustics and a full close.

Just As I Am
STYE1040 · Gospel Choir · Joel Negus
2:37·154 bpm·D flat
Soul, RetroChurch, Emotional, Faith

A 154 BPM D flat hymn arranged with Rhodes, Hammond organ and choir instead of acoustic piano, which softens the drive into something more soulful and reflective despite the tempo. Emotional and somber in colour, tracked live with the choir in a resonant church room.

Amazing Grace
STYE1040 · Gospel Choir · Joel Negus
2:17·80 bpm·D flat
Soul, RetroChurch, Faith, Jesus

A slow 80 BPM piano-and-choir treatment of the most recognisable hymn in the set, in D flat, dignified and unhurried. The live cathedral capture gives the 15 voices real depth for solemn, reverent moments.

Down By The Riverside
STYE1040 · Gospel Choir · Joel Negus
1:58·172 bpm·A flat
Soul, RetroChurch, Faith, Jesus

A 172 BPM up-tempo spiritual in A flat with piano and full choir, fast and celebratory with an unmistakable revival lift. Under two minutes, it stays tight and lands cleanly.

Draw Me Nearer
STYE1040 · Gospel Choir · Joel Negus
1:32·72 bpm·E flat
Soul, RetroChurch, Emotional, Faith

The slowest and shortest cue on the album: 72 BPM in E flat with Rhodes, Hammond and choir, intimate and prayerful. At 91 seconds it functions as a scene transition or short devotional passage rather than a full arrangement.

At The Cross
STYE1040 · Gospel Choir · Joel Negus
1:60·162 bpm·E flat
Soul, RetroChurch, Faith, Jesus

A driving 162 BPM piano and choir hymn in E flat, recorded live with the 15-voice ensemble in a church space. Energetic and devotional at once, with a firm resolution inside a compact two minutes.
