Wait for it...

I have heard, through the grapevine, that a highly respected music publisher is so concerned about the future that they will no longer release any new traditional sacred music product. What do they know that we don't know? Do they believe there is no future for traditional sacred music in worship?

I'm sure that there is more to the story than the thought that there isn't enough profit in publishing sacred music for the traditional church. But I'm also sure that this move will lead to a lot of discussion amongst the publishers (and composers) who continue to serve those who minister in this area. I'd love to know your thoughts about this, if you'd care to share them. Just send me an email by clicking here...

Happy Valentines Day!
