25TH ANNIVERSARY EVENT - COVENTRY CATHEDRAL To mark 25 years since the inception of The Pratt Green Trust (the charity behind the HymnQuest Project) a major event was held at Coventry Cathedral on Saturday 28th March 2009. Click here for some photo's of the event. |
HymnQuest is a unique software program developed by The
Pratt Green Trust, a charity devoted to the advancement of hymnody
and music in worship. It is the most comprehensive ever published
in its field, containing over 35,100 first lines and choruses, the
full text of 22,200 hymns and songs from some 390
hymn books and publications. The opening bars of over 18,300
melodies can be both viewed and heard, and the indexes list tune
names and metres; biblical, lectionary, thematic, liturgical and
seasonal references, as well as information and pictures of authors,
composers and translators.
HymnQuest provides a fast-search facility for leaders of worship, publishers, researchers and anyone interested in hymns and songs to find exactly what they want at the click of a mouse. For those frustrated by being able to recall only an odd phrase of a hymn, those seeking hymns or songs mentioning a particular word or name, those wanting material on a particular biblical text or theme or by a particular author, or who can remember a tune but not the words that go with it (or vice versa) - these and many other requirements are met by this software.
The project has the backing of virtually all of the major publishers and copyright administrators in Britain and Ireland, as well as some from overseas.
The first full release of HymnQuest (HymnQuest 2000) was launched in May 2000. The latest version HymnQuest 2009 was released in Janaury 2009 (see What's New?).
