Louder Than The Music

Kingsway is to launch a brand new series of Digital Songbooks for some of it's most popular artists. Each innovative CD-Rom 'Songbook' will include full sheet music, chord charts and word masters for fifty of each artist's best loved songs. Digital Songbooks will be released for Matt Redman, Stuart Townend, Delirious? and Tim Hughes over the coming months.

Says Kingsway, "Initially we'll be releasing a new installment in the project twice a month, building up a library of some of the most significant worship songs by some of the world's leading worship songwriters. Before long the Digital Songbook Series will become an indispensable resource for today's worship leaders. By focusing on the work of individual songwriters and worship leaders each Digital Songbook offers up a comprehensive guide to some of the most significant songs of our time."

First up are the releases for Stuart Townend and Tim Hughes on 15th March 2010. Stuart, the writer of countless modern classics, has had a greater impact on the church than any other modern hymn writer. By reclaiming the art of the lyricist and the power of the collective voice, Stuart's songs have united the Church worldwide. From 'In Christ Alone' to 'How Deep The Father's Love', from 'There Is A Hope' to 'The Lord's My Shepherd (Psalm 63)', this Digital Songbook contains them all.

Next will be the release of the music, chords and words for fifty of Tim Hughes' best-loved songs, a man who has quickly become one of the most engaging, innovative and appreciated songwriters of his day. It's easy to see how, with songs like 'Here I Am To Worship', 'Beautiful One' and 'Consuming Fire' coming early on in his career. But he's just kept on getting better, with 'God Of Justice', 'Give Us Your Courage' and 'Happy Day' all shaping the Church over recent years.

The Digital Songbook for Delirious? and Matt Redman will be released on 19th April 2010.
