This song was released today in jw.org to download along with the lyrics, but with a beautiful arrangement orchestrated. Would this be evidence that we will begin using in our meetings orchestrated arrangements instead of the songs played on the piano?

The PDF and JW Library files have been updated to include 139, but not 140-142.  So still have to wait.

 

 

I have pdf files of 140-2 just as it will appear in new song book. Had them since March 19th

 

Margaret has a nice idea   ... http://jwtalk.net/forums/topic/20290-theocratic-music-video-songs/#entry288019   ... 

 

Can someone compile a download of the songs from all the music videos we have? I would love to make a personal mp3

 

maybe this can be expanded on ?      

 

Ideas  ... 1) Audio only   2) Audio & Video

The piano version does exist, and according to a call an elder made to the branch it will be released in the next week or two. According to the elder, the branch said we should not use the orchestra renditions for opening or closing meetings.

It's interesting that back in the 1960s and 1970s, several congregations that did not have live piano accompaniment used the Society's records of orchestral arrangements of Kingdom songs. When a new songbook came out in 1984, the Society's recordings for congregational use were piano accompaniment. In the release talk, the brother stated that orchestral arrangements did not suit congregation singing, and that piano recordings suited this purpose much better. And we have used piano recordings ever since. So it would be unusual to revert back to using orchestral arrangements at our congregation meetings. But it being on jw.org makes me wonder if they'll eventually add all the orchestral arrangements that we sing to at our assemblies and conventions. If they do, I would love love love it! :)

How sad! I Love orchestrated arrangements of our songs. I would love them to be used in our meetings.

SONG 139 - JW Broadcasting

http://tv.jw.org/#vi...01503_139_VIDEO

I can't wait to see them rock 142!

 

Would love to see Splane's swagger composing moves on that one!

 

LOL!

 

I was talking with my wife about this song. We are both from the Caribbean but as soon as we heard this tune we thought to ourselves: "Man, the brothers and sisters in the island will start dancing when they hear this tune."

So happy and joyful! Love it.
