The Praise & Worship Fake Book: An Essential Tool for Worship Leaders, Praise Bands and Singers! [Plastic Comb]

Hal Leonard Corp. (Creator)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 2004

We proudly present this collection of more than 400 praise & worship songs, from classic "standards" to the best current titles by top worship leaders such as Paul Baloche, Brenton Brown, Don Moen, Matt Redman, Michael W. Smith, Chris Tomlin and Darlene Zschech. With great arrangements for all "C" instruments, this fake book is an invaluable resource for musicians from hobbyists to pros. It features instructions for using a fake book, a helpful Guitar Chord Guide, and two indexes: one alphabetical by song title, and the other by song key, which makes creating medleys a breeze. The notation is larger than in most standard fake books for ease of reading. By improvising with the chord symbols, players can "fake" their own arrangements of the songs, and many selections include suggestions for vocal harmonies in cue notes. Songs include: Above All * Agnus Dei * Ancient of Days * As the Deer * Awesome God * Be Glorified * Better Is One Day * Breathe * Celebrate Jesus * Come Into His Presence * Days of Elijah * Draw Me Close * Enough * Firm Foundation * Forever * Give Thanks * God of Wonders * Great Is the Lord * He Is Exalted * The Heart of Worship * I Could Sing of Your Love Forever * Lord, Be Glorified * Majesty * Mighty Is Our God * My Redeemer Lives * Oh Lord, You're Beautiful * The Potter's Hand * The Power of Your Love * Sanctuary * Shout to the Lord * That's Why We Praise Him * These Hands * This Is the Day * We Fall Down * We Will Glorify * Worthy of Worship * You Are My King (Amazing Love) * You're Worthy of My Praise * and scores more. Comb-bound for ease of use.

This review is from: The Praise & Worship Fake Book: An Essential Tool for Worship Leaders, Praise Bands and Singers! (Plastic Comb)

This book has a great selection of old & new P & W songs, in lead sheet form, mostly one or 2 pages, mostly in easy keys to play the songs. It is possible to bring this to a gathering and just praise, but more likely, it is extremely helpful to have a one or two page chart, in an easy key, to copy for the band at church, and do the song. Worship leaders-NO PAGE TURNING....THANK YOU LORD!!!!

This review is from: The Praise & Worship Fake Book: An Essential Tool for Worship Leaders, Praise Bands and Singers! (Plastic Comb)

This fake book is packed with contemporary worship songs. I am continually surprised at the songs that I'm familiar with that are contained in this book. It's a fake book so it has the melody line and the chords. I play piano for a contemporary church service and this book has just about every song in it that the pastor wants to sing. It's not quite as new as I would like; I think the newest songs I've seen in it were copywritten in 2002. However a good song doesn't lose it's meaning, and there are a lot of good songs (current and memorable) selected from the past 25 or so years. This book is a great starter book for a church musician's song library. It may even be all you need.

This book contains hundreds of worship songs,although not to many "new" songs. New Worship songs are being written constantly and hopefully will be put into new volumes to follow. This book only contains the melody line, lyrics and chords.Very good binding, easy to turn pages, well written.
