The Faith We Sing
 
Index of Most Recently-Composed Songs in Contemporary Styles in The Faith We Sing


What constitutes and names the newest and latest styles in contemporary congregational worship music, of course, is in the eyes and ears of the beholder and listener. This index is merely an attempt to make note of those selections and writers/composers in The Faith We Sing that may be identified with the newest styles. Some will associate these selections with the tastes of young people. Others will see influences of urban and secular musical styles. Intentionally not included here are global music and songs written in the last few years that can be identified within the continuing development of traditional, classical, western hymnody. With one exception, all songs in this index have been composed since 1990.
