What a beautiful memory, you have. I always loved the orchestra music we had at assemblies...the brother that was the conductor went to our hall. Watching him made me love music as Jehovah does.

I played in one of the orchestras that played for U.S. Midwest assemblies in Illinois and Missouri. The brother who conducted was really good. He produced some excellent arrangements in a lot of different styles. That's probably the main reason I remember many of the older songs that we haven't sung in half-a-century. Wow! It's really been that long!

The green-and-yellow was still being used up until the year before I got baptized. This meant that each hall still had a piano and a couple of sisters who could play the songs, because there was no record set for the green-and-yellow. Some of the old pre-1966 songs still stick in my head like:
Rejoice! The Kingdom Has Begun, Dedication, Hosannas for David's Son, Ministers for the Issue, Christ is Here!, Tell It Out!, etc. The older, more, complex version of "Forward! You Witnesses!" Also, there were completely different words for some of the songs we sang, like: "The Sword of Jehovah and of Gideon" (71) which was much more fun to sing in the old rhyme.
There's a call going out through the length of the land / To serve in the army of Gideon; For our captain has issued the final command / To vanquish the cohorts of Midian. In the pink songbook (Preach This Good News of the Kingdom!, 103), this changed to:
This good news of the Kingdom must now be proclaimed / In witness to each land and nation; And Jehovah's good name must become widely famed / Before his complete vindication. Also we were allowed to harmonize, like in a choir, on several songs: To the Work! 79 Send out Your Light! 65, Take Sides With Jehovah! 57 (also in pink, etc), 23, 53, etc.
The most forgettable song in the pre-1966 was "The Taunt-Song Against Satan." (75) What a title!
