Man's relationship to God in creation was based on works. What Adam failed to achieve, Christ, the second Adam, succeeded in achieving. Ultimately the only way one can be justified is by works. (R.C.Sproul) Works! Works! A man gets to heaven by works? I would as soon think of climbing to the moon on a rope of sand! (George Whitefield) With the wolves you cannot be too severe. With the weak sheep you cannot be too gentle.” (Martin Luther on false teachers)

I'm afraid that, despite being almost entirely scriptural, this would fall entirely into the category of performance, otherwise known as entertainment - unless one thinks that the instrumental accompaniment is worship, which I don't.
