TRANSFORMED, new from Word Music & Church Resources, features Modern Worship
Songs informed and inspired by great hymns of the church. These aren’t hymns that have simply been revamped or reimagined within unique arrangements. Rather, they are new songs incorporating portions of a well known hymn or that have their roots and foundation in a hymn. “Blended Worship” (the term we use to describe a church that combines
the use of both worship songs and hymns as a worship style, a strategic formatting decision intended to bring together the old and the new) has now been adopted by the songwriting community as more and more songwriters are creating inspired and anointed new songs of worship which, at their core, were birthed by a hymn.

Hymns such as It Is Well with My Soul, I Need Thee Every Hour, Amazing Grace, Nothing but the Blood…all of these and more lend themselves to the creation of deeply moving, powerfully-impacting modern worship hymns for today’s contemporary evangelical church; new modern worship hymns bringing together the best of the past with the brightest of the future. Transformed, they become songs like It Is Well (Bethel), Broken Vessels (Amazing Grace) (Hillsong), Come Thou Fount, Come Thou King (Gateway)...10 new songs with a rich heritage, deep roots, and a fresh anointing…all brilliantly adapted for choir, orchestra and congregation by arrangers David Wise and Tim Paul. Immerse your congregation in moments of profound, heartfelt worship as they join with your choir in singing these new, next generation hymns.

(with Amazing Grace) Composed by Jonathan Rea, Keith Getty, orchestrated by Michael Lawrence, arranged by Tom Fettke. Octavo for SATB choir and piano accompaniment. Series: Alfred SingPraise Series. 12 pages. Published by Alfred Publishing.

The Life and Music of James Brown. Composed by James Brown, R. J. Smith. Artist/Personality; Reference Textbooks; Textbook - General. Funk. Book. Alfred Music #74-1592407422. Published by Alfred Music (AP.74-1592407422).

ISBN 9781592407422. English. [James Brown] By R. J. Smith.

The definitive biography of James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, with fascinating findings on his life as a Civil Rights activist, an entrepreneur, and the most innovative musician of our time. Playing 350 shows a year at his peak, with more than forty Billboard hits, James Brown was a dazzling showman who transformed American music. His life offstage was just as vibrant, and until now no biographer has delivered a complete profile. The One draws on interviews with more than 100 people who knew Brown personally or played with him professionally. Using these sources, award-winning writer RJ Smith draws a portrait of a man whose twisted and amazing life helps us to understand the music he made. At the heart of The One is Brown's musical genius. He had crucial influence as an artist during at least three decades; he inspires pity, awe, and revulsion. As Smith traces the legend's reinvention of funk, soul, R&B, and pop, he gives this history a melody all its own.

Kevin Olson writes in Notes from the Composer, I find it interesting that we use the word keys to describe the black and white levers on the piano that are pressed down and transformed into musical art. It's as if musicians have always understood that the piano has the ability to unlock our creativity an imagination. With these eighty-eight keys, pianists can open doors to new colors, images, and ideas, first by playing inspirational music by other composers, and eventually composing original pieces. The Imaginations series consists of five books starting with the Elementary level and will expand to the Early Advanced level. Kevin hopes these pieces will inspire you to unlock the amazing potential of your own imagination.
