Next We Shall Sing

Tony Jasper is seeking songs that mirror the endless pressure of God through the events, people and situations of our world. You may remember the title of a 1960s show "Stop the world I want to get off" - Church music has changed much since then, but is it all for the best? The author discusses how to make the most of traditional hymns and tunes in the 21st century. It also discusses those trends in modern music that may offer a more satisfying way forward than choruses, and what on earth to do about the surfeit of hapless material for children and young people.
