Stuart Townend is a HYMN writer and this album proves it wonderfully! And yet aren't many of these tracks the SONGS we sing with flute, guitar and drums-YES! Proving , once again, the Eastbourne composer's versatility. Wonderful, strong words, fine tunes, much of this material is well known to most of us. Here's the twist - organ, choir, Anglican Cathedral - thus for some a new way of hearing well known material, for others simply brilliant presentation in a recognised form. Crossover is a term we usually apply to contemporary music artists. This is crossover worship! I've sung these songs in many different types of churches and settings and all have appreciated being bought nearer to God through a most gifted writer. Good information in the booklet helps us look again at the often well known words, the disc helps us to hear them anew. I'll guess most of us have sung Townend - all of us should know his work. If not, speak to your worship leader today!.

Having heard Stuart Townend's wonderful version of the 23rd Psalm on Radio 4 Sunday Worship, I have been looking for the sheet music in S.A.T.B. 4-parts, for our Church choir (St. Thomas' Presbyterian Church, Denbigh).
Can you tell me if/where it is available?
Thanks...

We wish to buy the sheet music for The Lord's My Shepherd (Psalm 23) from The New HymnMakers CD by Stuart Townend. We would be grateful if you could let us know if it is available, and if so, whether we can order it through your website.
We are in Sydney, Australia.
Many thanks

I greet you in the the name of God, I wish to ask if your CD is sold in Cameroon in any city?. I love this CD very much. I have the copy of Iran Sankey and Charles Wesley.
