Piano Cover of "Glory to God"

"Glory to God" by Collen Maluleke is Tsonga worship in E. 76 BPM, slow-mid tempo, a declaration song built for the moment of surrender.

1. The key: E major

E major. Scale: E, F♯m, G♯m, A, B, C♯m, D♯m.

2. The chord shape

Verse: 1 to 5 to 6m to 4. Chorus: 4 to 5 to 1 to 6m to 4 to 5 to 1. Standard worship shape, patient tempo. The Collen Maluleke recording shows the pacing.

3. The Sunday-ready play

• Right hand: Emaj7 voicings held long.
• Left hand: whole notes at 76 BPM.
• One move to add: an F♯m9 (2m9) for the 2m turnaround before the chorus. Warmer than a plain triad.

4. When the leader calls a different key

Tsonga worship travels through Limpopo and Mozambique. Numbers hold. Gig Mode.
