TRANSFORMED, new from Word Music & Church Resources, features Modern WorshipSongs 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 combinesthe 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.

This thought-provoking book contains seven high-level exchanges between a leading wind band practitioner and a music education philosopher. Each section of The Future of the Wind Band grapples with the most profound issues facing the music education profession and the path of instrumental music education in our schools: Relevance: What relevance, if any, does the wind band have both to today’s students and to culture more broadly in the twenty-first century? What relevance does the band experience hold for students’ everyday life? Repertoire: What is the relationship between the repertoire performed by wind ensembles and the larger musical world? Pedagogy: What constitutes best practice in terms of musical pedagogy and rehearsal technique within the large-ensemble experience? Creativity: Can the wind band function as a vehicle for enhancing the individual creativity of its members? Economic Justice: How do issues of social class and the distribution of wealth relate to broader questions of social justice within the context of instrumental music education? Professional Ethics: What are the primary ethical responsibilities of the wind band conductor? Democratic Citizenship: What relationship, if any, can be drawn between membership in the wind band and citizen participation in democracy? Such exchanges can only strengthen our profession and pay rich dividends in our musical and educational work with the students we serve. Editor of this book, William (Bill) M. Perrine is Associate Professor of Music and Director of Instrumental Activities at Concordia University in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he directs the wind ensemble, marching band, and community orchestra.
