Songbook: "Sing Out Joyfully" to Jehovah

Sorry, I guess my communication leaves something to be desired.  I was referring to the 'thumbnail' picture.

No, my brother, your communication was fine. Mine was disjointed. I posted the cover to wonder why thumbnail still yellow but cover isn't.

[On the huh]

Does anyone know if the orchestral got together recently?  I think they normally do around this time of year.  I wonder what music they recorded, new renditions for the choir maybe, or instrumental music for the conventions, based on the new songbook.

Also noticed by downloading some that some languages don't have as many songs as the english do. I wonder why?

They don't look complete.  just a handful of songs.  There is no cover or contents pages, and the page numbers jump about.

 

Hhmmm. Does this mean that in some languages the songbook is not complete... yet? Maybe it will be ongoing in some languages. That would be why the song numbers "jump about," because they're leaving space for more songs when they're translated and ready to be added. After all these are just downloadable versions of the songbook. Once they have all 151 songs the printed songbooks can be released in those languages.

 

Does that make sense?

The new songbook now appears under the meetings tab in JW Library.

Our WT conductor reminded the cong that we don't start using the new song book until Monday 1/2/17 but we don't know if the speaker on Sunday 1/1/17 will pick a song from the new song book or old song book, so he recommended that we bring both song books on Sunday.

The brother that is responsible for Sound system recently sent out an email that the song videos are loaded on the Mac but are in a folder and wont be put on the desktop until Monday 1/2/17. This morning at the meeting for service I asked the Sunday Chairman if the speaker was planning on using a new song or old song and I reminded him that the system is currently set up for the old songs.

 

He told me that he had planned to call the speaker and ensure that he had selected one of the old songs for his talk. It ended up that the Talk Coordinator was put in my car group and at the end of the morning he told me the chairman had asked him to call the speaker and confirm that he had selected an old song. The brother then told me that last week he had been told to call the speaker and request the speaker to select a new song. 

 

If I hadn't asked about it, the speaker would have shown up expecting to sing one of the new songs as requested but since the new song videos are not readily available yet, it would have been a lot of last minute confusion.

 

Hopefully a little bit of communication has avoided that... <sigh>

Hello Brothers and Sisters! Does anyone know a way to DL the new songs on Jw.org all together? I was only able to DL one at a time!

We will be using the new song videos this week.  Finally we will have the words on screen.  It has also forced the elders to rethink the position of the projector and screen, and it will be moved.  More work for me!  The new position will hopefully allow the projector and screen to be on all the time and thus make more use of it.  So good all round.

After the April Watchtower in portuguese showing the song numbers the same than the new songbook, now another error with song numbers..

 

It's getting very obvious that the new songbook will be released in brazilian portuguese very soon..

Don't worry. We had to do the exact same thing earlier this year (2016).

 

As well as the new video's, we've also introduced a 'countdown ckock' that we will start at meetings this week. The countdown clock is part of the Soundbox software programme 

[On the huh]

We moved early last year following direction not to have to in the centre in front of the podium. This will be the second time it will be moved.  Might also involve some out-of-the-box thinking on how to mount the projector.  Not sure about introducing the countdown clock.  Its taken all this time just to get the lyrics on the screen.  Maybe next year!

How about the video files? Is there a way to download it as a zip file?

since this is so, why do the old songs "Sing to Jehovah" and "Sing to Jehovah - New Songs" also appear under the meetings tab (even when you delete them) while we no longer will be using them at our meetings?

Maybe its because of other languages (e.g. Chinese) that still need to use the sing to Jehovah songbook

Our Kindom Hall has two Spanish congregations and, since they don't have the new songbook, they are still using the old book.

They would not know what resolution you wanted and the files can be very big individually and even larger as a group.  If these video files averaged 3 minutes each, that would be 7 1/2 hours of recorded video.

There is a zip file, your Elders or  ministerial servants should have access via JW.org.

Currently only available in English.
