Description
As a subscription-based internet resource, Praise! Online will allow you to pay a small on-going fee. This will include (but not be limited to) the following:
1. Praise! Words Edition
Words of all the Praise! Hymnbook items, fully indexed and searchable. Full text search (search the words in the hymns) plus by author/arranger, hymnbook number, theme, and special occasions.
2. Praise! Music Edition
Each Words Edition entry includes a direct link to a PDF file of the corresponding Music Edition entry. These PDFs can be viewed onscreen, downloaded or printed.
3. Exploring Praise! One – the Words and Music
This excellent book by Christopher Idle discusses the authorship, composition and character of every item in the Praise! Hymnbook. Searchable using full-text search or terms such as author, theme, events, keywords, titles of our Lord Jesus Christ, and places.
4. Exploring Praise! Two – the Authors and Composers
Chris Idle has now provided us with a superbly useful book that offers a brief biography of all the authors and composers of the Praise! hymnbook. This is now available in both hard copy and part of the on-line package. At a simple click you can move between the Exploring Praise! One and Two items or by using the built in text search facility.
5. Side-by-side view
See the Praise! words and relevant Exploring Praise! content on-screen at the same time.
6. Scripture Index
A comprehensive scripture index gives preachers, leaders and planners a wide selection of Psalms, hymns and songs to illustrate or enhance a reading or theme.
7. Christmas Praise! Instrumental arragements
Nearly 40 works with additional instrumental arrangements are available online (Piano arrangements currently only available in the book)
8. New Items
We plan to add the following on a regular basis:
Regular NEW items – over 250 adult and children’s items have been added since 2015.
Plus: straightforward instrumental arrangements to print and use.
and: MP3 ‘backing tracks’ to download and use for accompaniment.
Instrumental arrangements and mp3 backing tracks will be gradually added for all items from the Praise! Online where copyright agreement allows.
