Answer:
Andrew Peterson e-mailed me the other day and told me that they are putting together an "artist folio" for Behold The Lamb of God. Sweetness!
Answer:
And the resources have been released. Check out:

some of the stuff is pretty expensive - the string arrangements and such, so I'm only going for the songbook itself.
My wife and I are going to see the Behold The Lamb of God tour - it's coming to a town about 45 minutes away from us. I'm very excited!

"afternoon" being 12:40.
Answer:
Nice. I've been listening to this CD all day long. It's snowing a little bit.
Answer:
The songbook came today. It's excellent. Every song uses a slightly different notation / arrangement in order to fit the most important stuff to that song in. There are many editor's comments and cue notes for special parts that are interspersed through the songs. When there's an important guitar part (as opposed to just strumming), it's tabbed out. When another instrument has an occasional important part, it's written in the cue notes that I mentioned earlier and given a brief explanation. Except for the percussion, every part of both of the instrumentals is given in full notation (guitar also has tab). The piano ballad (the title track) has an accurate notation of the full piano part (instead of a follow-the-vocal arrangement common in most songbooks). The best part of the book, however, is the notation for "The Theme Of My Song" (the little chant-like ditty before the reprise); every single melody or theme that is repeated in that little section (which, I think, is the most brilliant musical moment of the whole work) is written out and assigned a voice part (there end up being 2 basses, 5 tenors, and 3 altos at various parts in the song). Finally, in addition to the full scores, there are 1-2 page chord sheets (complete with chord symbol chord shapes for the guitar) at the end of the book. I'm pleased to say that the songbook matches the recording in artistic genius. Everyone should own this.
In His love,
Nate
Answer:
I don't think we'll pull this off this year, but I'm planning on performing the whole work next year for Christmas.

Yeah, me too.
Answer:
I am going to order this book as well. Sounds like a great resource. Something to work on for next year. This year I had figured out the chords for "Gather 'Round Ye Children" and am planning on doing it with guitar and the Sunday School kids. It is VERY touching to her the young voices sing "So sing out with joy for the brave little boy who was God, but He made Himself nothing....".
