We are delighted to release the latest edition of the American Band Journal, featuring a fresh collection of music designed to enrich and support worship in a wide variety of settings. Music has a unique ability to express faith, inspire hearts, and draw people into the presence of God. Our hope is that this new edition will serve as a meaningful resource for bands seeking to lead congregations in worship, reflection, and praise.

This edition features five powerful contributions that offer a range of moods and spiritual themes, suitable for use throughout the church calendar. Build Your Kingdom, arranged by Gavin Whitehouse, is an energizing and bold call to action, encouraging believers to engage in building God’s kingdom on earth. Ty Watson’s Trust provides a sincere and personal musical testimony of reliance on God’s faithfulness. Prayer of St Teresa by Charles Skinner, arranged by Philip Rayment, invites listeners into a moment of deep contemplation and serenity. Prayer for Guidance by John Norris, arranged by Kevin Downing, expresses a heartfelt seeking of divine wisdom and direction. Dean Jones’s Glorify Your Name concludes the set with an uplifting and joyful declaration of worship, calling all to praise the name of Christ.

We are confident that these new selections will be a valuable addition to your band’s repertoire. Whether used in Sunday worship, devotional gatherings, or special services, this music is designed to bless and inspire both performers and congregations alike.
