God Is Able Female Lead
3 replies

Hey everyone,

I'm just looking to see if anyone has had experience of a female vocal leading God Is Able. The key of B is far too high and, while I don't want to drop out of the congregation's comfort range, I need a lower key to use.

Possibly looking at going with G at the moment...what do people think?

yes im part of Hillsong Church

i cant sing ithe female vocals leading on God Is Able or The Lost Are Found.

the male vocal leading is more in my vocal range.

Shows how misleading titles can be, when I first saw this thread I thought it was shorthand for saying God is able to use females in leadership as well, I was expecting a whole different subject and a debate with which I wouldn't have joined in!

After a quick play through on Youtube (didn't really know this song before) seems to me the bottom note is just the F# below middle C (and that's used sparingly!) So I'd say you're perfectly safe moving over to G, which brings the bottom note down to a D (easily in reach) and the top one down to C above middle C for the ladies (which again should be fine.)

And of course, G is a very, very Christian key. ;-)

What I was going to go with Micael - thanks for the clarification!
