Welcome to the HymnQuest website. This site contains, full
product specifications, on-line ordering and technical support for
the HymnQuest software.
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 33,800 first lines and choruses, the
full text of 21,200 hymns and songs from some 381
hymn books and publications. The opening bars of over 17,590
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.
It is even possible
to search for tunes by playing the opening notes on a Virtual
Keyboard - we're told by experts in the field, that HymnQuest
was the world's first software to offer such a facility!
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 2008 was released in Janaury 2008.
The 2008 cover design is a painted and leaded stained glass panel by Helen Kearns (www.rosettaglass.com) inspired by the hymn "When, in our music, God is glorified" by Fred Pratt Green.
