Browse piano sheets by Hillsong Worship on Zen Virtual Piano. Hillsong Worship is a collective within Hillsong Church, with music shaped around the people who sing it together. In a Billboard interview, songwriter Brooke Ligertwood described its purpose as developing songs that would ultimately be sung in churches. She distinguished that shared role from her solo work: with Hillsong Worship, she was part of the church rather than the centre of the performance. The group’s live recordings bring together changing lineups, with members based in different parts of the world. Ligertwood described the ensemble as a unit rather than a collection of individual egos. What A Beautiful Name was written by Ligertwood and Ben Fielding. It appeared on Let There Be Light, recorded at the 2016 Hillsong conference in Sydney. She described the conference as a gathering across denominations, including Catholics and the Salvation Army. Ligertwood recalled that many listeners there already knew the songs from regular church singing, so the recording grew from an existing community’s familiarity.
