How to Find A Cappella Music Resources on Taylor Publications LLC

Taylor Publications LLC organizes its catalog into four main product types—compact discs, hymnals, paperless hymnal/Bibles/songbooks/books, and downloads—so the fastest way to find what you need is to start from the category that matches your format, then narrow by title or artist. If you already know the name of a hymnal, songbook, or group, the product listings themselves (with prices and "Add to Cart" buttons) are the most direct path. This guide covers what each section contains, how to read the listings, and what to check before buying.

Start with the format you actually need

The site's top-level structure is built around format first, then title or artist. That matters because the same content often exists in more than one format—for example, a song may appear as a printed hymnal, a PowerPoint download, and a CD.

If your goal is Sunday worship projection, go straight to PowerPoint Downloads (843 items listed) or the Paperless Hymnal line. If you lead singing from a book, start with Hymnals. If you want recordings to learn from, start with Compact Discs.

Browse by category when you don't have a title in mind

Each format section is subdivided by title, publisher, or artist. The CD section, for example, is broken into named series and groups rather than genres, including:

• Hymnal-based recordings: ePraise Hymnal, Praise Hymnal, Songs of Faith and Praise, Songs for Worship and Praise
• Named series: Zoe, Hallal, Adoration, Legacy, Providence, Revival, Sumphonia
• Artists and groups: Acappella Company, Dallas Christian Sound, Florida College Chorus, Harding University, Ray Walker, Vocal Union, Won by One, Zambian Acapella
• Special-purpose categories: Children/Youth Music, Christmas Music, Funeral, Wedding, Spanish, Mennonite Choirs, Sacred Harp, Bluegrass Acappella

The hymnal section is similarly split by title, with counts shown next to each: Songs for Worship and Praise (39), Songs of Faith & Praise (33), Praise Hymnal (28), Favorite Songs of the Church (18), and smaller sets like Praise for the Lord (5) and Hymns for Worship (2).

The book section covers non-music titles: Theology (39), Children/Youth Books (33), Miscellaneous Books (27), Hymn Stories (21), Women (21), Teens (13), Music Resource Books (11), Song Story/Devotionals (9), Grief (7), Worship Resource (4), and Humor (3).

Practical tip: the number in parentheses is the item count in that category. A category showing (0)—such as Master's Chorale, Narrow Way, or One Voice—means nothing is currently listed there, so don't spend time clicking through expecting inventory.

Read the product listing before you buy

Listings follow a consistent pattern, and each part tells you something useful:

• Title and edition — e.g., "Praise Hymnal 2020 Maroon." Color and year matter because editions differ in content and binding.
• Availability note — the 2020 Maroon Praise Hymnal carries the note "LIMITED QTY AVAILABLE" and points buyers to the 2025 Maroon edition. Treat that as a signal to check the newer edition first if you need multiple copies.
• Format detail — "Best of Southern Gospel - Hardback Shape" specifies hardback and shape-note notation, which is not the same as a standard round-note hymnal.
• Contents note — "Songs For Worship And Praise Blue B1021" lists a song index and notes it is available on PowerPoint, so you can confirm the projection version exists before ordering the book.
• Price and cart — listings show a price and an "Add to Cart" button, e.g., $16.99 for the Praise Hymnal 2020 Maroon and Best of Southern Gospel hardback, $24.99 for the Songs for Worship and Praise editions.

Check three things before adding to cart: the edition year, the notation style (shape note vs. round note), and whether a PowerPoint or download version of the same title exists if you need projection.

Use search and filters for known titles

When you know what you want, skip browsing. Search the exact title or group name, then use the category filters to separate formats. This is especially useful for titles that appear across sections—"Songs for Worship and Praise" exists as a hymnal (B1020 Maroon, B1021 Blue) and as a PowerPoint product (S311), and searching the title surfaces all of them so you can pick the format rather than assuming one listing is the whole product.

For downloads specifically, the three download categories are distinct and worth filtering between:

• Music Download (920) — audio files
• PowerPoint Download (843) — projection files
• Sheet Music Download (711) — printable notation

If you need both audio and projection for the same song, check whether it appears in more than one of these categories rather than assuming one purchase covers both.

What to confirm before ordering

• Edition and year — newer editions may replace older ones; the site explicitly redirects buyers from the 2020 to the 2025 Praise Hymnal.
• Quantity limits — "limited qty" notes mean you may not be able to order a full set of matching books.
• Format match — a hymnal purchase does not include the PowerPoint file, and vice versa.
• Notation style — shape-note and round-note books are not interchangeable for every congregation.
• Language — a Spanish category exists (8 items) if you need non-English material.

Pricing shown on the site covers the listed products; the catalog does not indicate sitewide free access, so treat each item as a separate purchase unless a listing states otherwise.
