Songbook: "Sing Out Joyfully" to Jehovah

[Thesauron]

If all else fails, in January when we start singing from the new songbook, you will HAVE to sing to orchestra music.

Only if you're in an English congregation.

"Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."—Matthew 6:21.

Speaking of piano, will someone PLEASE call, email, text, pony express, send smoke signals to the BoE in my congregation that the orchestral KS have been released over two or three months ago and there is a letter from the GB saying that the new versions should now be used at the meetings!  (We just had our C.O. visiting last week and I thought he would notice and make the recommendation.) But no one has made a move! 
 

Did you bring up the question with him?

Thank you, I am aware of this recordings.  I mean the Orchestra Arrangements, which are played at the beginning of our conventions. It was mentioned earlier in this topic, that this recordings would probably be made available soon.

I think it will be a while before we see any other SJJ releases, unless they release previously recorded ones.  The brothers and sisters on the Watchtower Orchestra will get together in December, maybe they'll record some new renditions at that time.

But there were a few new renditions at the 2016 RC Music Videos. Maybe they will release them first, like they did before. If a rendition is ready, they could upload them

Also the music from the 2015 convention, songs 60 and 97.  The rendition of Song 97, now song 69 only had 2 verses.  The new revised song now only has 2 verses.  The instrumental rendition of song 60 had 3 verses to it though,  and I was half expecting a extra verse in the new songbook.

The rendition they made of song 60 for the 2015 RC was fantastic and very touching.

Can I just say, I love our songs and can't wait to hold the physical new songbook soon! 

Been gradually comparing the revised songbook with the current one.

 

Something I have only just noticed, don't know if anyone else has, on jw.org under music, the Sing to Jehovah chorus, now grouped in one list instead of discs has in addition to 135 songs the audio vocals of our new songs.  What I've been waiting for in ages!!

[IliasBosman]

maybe a silly question but, is there any chance we can get the lossless audio file recordings?

Edit: only 137-154 have been added. Reason Is, these are audio of the music videos and song 136 music video Is still the original 2-verse song. Still waiting for the revised version to be uploaded.  

[juliansan]

I printed all songs and now I made folders  . So I can play the piano without my tablet but with real paper sheets.

There's a chance, but you'd have to contact Watchtower.

Yes, the version on JW Broadcasting is missing a verse. It has not been updated yet. "You Gave Your Precious Son" (20) has slightly updated lyrics, but I'm sure that the updated recording will come with the choral recordings for the new songbook.

Has any congregation received the printed version of the songbook yet? Any news on the songbook being made available in other languages?

We had our Circuit Pioneer meeting today.  When we stood up to sing our last song, the Circuit Overseer pulled out the new songbook (someone at Bethel must have sent him a copy).  It was the first one that I have seen in person.  Our congregation did not receive any in our literature shipment this week.  They were still marked "pending".  We got the Daily Text book however.

It will be made available in many languages as soon as possible. Translation is under way. But a number of languages are awaiting the release of the revised nwt first. We're told many languages have deadline within a year.

Very interesting. A brother in my congregation who has a friend that works in the translation department told us the same thing. Just wanted to see what others heard as well. He also mentioned that there's a strong possibility that multiple revisions of the NWT will be released next year. He mentioned Spanish specifically. Maybe at next years convention. Only time will tell. Very exciting times!
