Released: 2011. Tvnz.
Double CD. Sourced from NZ.
Praise Be celebrates the program's 25th birthday. It contains 30 tracks carefully chosen to best represent the outstanding choral standards in New Zealand and the broad styles of Christian music that Praise Be has recorded over the years, for all seasons of the liturgical year.
In the last quarter century, an estimated 47 thousand people have sung on the program. “Praise Be” was first produced in the TVNZ Dunedin studios and went to air on Sunday 6 April 1986, hosted by Graeme Thomson who continued as host for 20 years until he retired and Chris Nichol took over. It is now produced from the TVNZ Avalon studios.
Hymns from the program have been retained in an extensive archive – more than four thousand hymns and songs of worship recorded in a total of 175 New Zealand churches and venues.
The series continues to travel around the country recording choral groups and ecumenical congregation singing for packaging into half hour programs watched on TV One by an average weekly audience of 70 thousand people.
