African AlleluiaJay Althouse. Bongo and
hand drum accompaniment highlight this
intensely rhythmic African-styled work. The
simple "alleluia" text allows the melodic and
rhythmic ideas to take center stage. With exciting
vocal layering, a soaring descant, and a powerful
finish, this really sparkles!

H Amazing Gracearr. Jack Schrader. Absolutely
inspired! Jack's perspective on this beloved melody
is to use a slow, gospel style. The authentic piano
accompaniment has all the piano licks you could
possibly want, and supports the arrangement just as
well as the marvelous orchestral track. In a creative
twist, the last verse features the instruments on the
melody as the choir acts as "back-up singers" to
the piano. Part of our American heritage, Amazing
Grace is a hymn everyone knows, and this
arrangement adds a richness to the melody that
you simply must hear to appreciate.

Jean Anne Shafferman. Here is a marvelous
pairing of Amazing Grace with the beloved
baroque classic, Pachelbel's Canon! The
baroque canon accompanies as the voices sing
Amazing Grace in 4/4. Opening with unison
voices, it flows easily to rich part writing,
closing in inventive counterpoint with the
canon bass line, the Amazing Grace melody,
and a soaring soprano descant "Alleluia."
Inventive and very creative!

by a church in Sioux City, Iowa, which was forced
to relocate due to flooding, this lyrical anthem
speaks of God's presence with us in times of
hardship and of His infinite mercy. A wonderful
musical expression of comfort and courage for
confirmation, child baptism or dedication, or any
time you wish to convey the love of God through
Isaiah's words of redemption: "You are precious
in My sight." The opening statement can be
sung by sopranos or solo voice, but is especially
appropriate for children's voices.
