Considered
one of Bob Marley's
greatest songs. This John
Legend cover was sung as
a tribute to the late
Nelson Mandela in 2013.
Taking this acoustic song
and setting it for choir
is a beautiful thing.
There is room for rubato
and you and your students
will enjoy exploring the
spaces that exist in this
arrangement.
For many
worshipping churches,
this strong version of a
traditional hymn is a
treasured song of the
journey. Many existing
arrangements of this
time-honored song are set
in major but this
creative new adaptation
utilizes the minor
variant. From Bound for
Glory, this setting
brings freshness to the
familiar and adds depth
to the whole concept. A
distinctive three-part
men's section is featured
in one verse with
stunning results, later
trading places with an
angelic women's moment
that shines with
brilliance. Every measure
is packed with beauty!

In
the past twenty years,
worship styles in many
churches have
transformed, emphasizing
a personal worship that
strives for intimacy with
the Father. This renewal
led some ministries,
perhaps unintentionally,
to abandon the great
hymns of our faith in
favor of newly composed
worship songs. Other
ministries, in an effort
to create a balanced
worship style, mixed the
new with the old,
sometimes with results
that only amplified the
differences between the
two. Hymns for Praise &
Worship bridges the
stylistic gap between
modern-day worship songs
and the hymns of our
Christian heritage. A
select advisory board of
active music ministers,
Word Music staff and key
choral arrangers were
assembled to pinpoint
fifty-six hymns from the
vast array of hymnody,
not only for their
musical quality, but for
the messages that they
bring to worshippers
today. Veteran choral
arrangers John E. Coates
and Travis Cottrell have
been creating new
settings of hymns for
their own congregations
for years. Their
experience as worship
leaders brought not only
musicality, but also
congregational and choral
pragmatism to each new
arrangement in Hymns for
Praise & Worship. With
all of the same editions
and features as the Songs
for Praise & Worship
series, this collection
is designed to work
hand-in-hand with
existing resources for
worship. Various
stylistic changes make
these settings flow
easily, appeal to the
modern ear, and correlate
with the styles of
contemporary praise &
worship songs. Throughout
this book you will
encounter variations from
traditional time
signatures, intuitive
syncopated rhythms, and
substituted chords and
harmonies. Even the few
hymns with more
traditional settings are
treated in a manner that
takes the congregation on
a journey through the
verses, sometimes in a
more through-composed
manner, and usually
culminating in a
climactic conclusion.
Each of the changes was
not implemented
arbitrarily, but with the
goal of making the
timeless messages of each
hymn leap from the page
in new and exciting ways.
Two added features of
Hymns for Praise &
Worship are the
demonstration and
accompaniment recordings.
While the songs in the
collection are well
known, the new
arrangements are not. The
staff of Word Music felt
that it was vital to
provide audible resources
to teach and lead worship
to best communicate the
desires of the arrangers.
All of the core editions
(Choir/Worship Team,
Worship Planner, Keyboard
Edition, Guitar Edition)
reflect the verses and
voicings used on the
recordings.
