All Things Bright and Beautiful:
This much beloved text celebrating the scope of creation and the love of
God has endeared itself to generations of composers and singers alike.
Benji Harlan delivers a delightful new interpretation of these classic
sentiments with a tune and arrangement that dances off the page and straight

Beneath the Cross of Jesus:
The familiar text we all grew up with is given a fresh and sensitive framework
within which to examine our own faith during the Lent and Easter season.
Much of this is in unison and where the harmonies occur, the voice leading
is such that a very small choir could manage this. A nice addition to
the Lenten repertoire. |

Blessed Assurance:
One of the all-time most requested hymns is lovingly presented by one of
America's greatest arrangers. Robert Sterling creates an amazing
variety of colors and emotions in this must-do hymn adaptation. Fanny
Crosby's soaring message of assurance and promise has never been
more splendidly decorated and her words of hope are just as inspiring
as the day they were first written. This will require some rehearsal
in parts but is well-worth the time spent. The piano accompaniment is
outstanding and a wonderful showcase for a good player. |

Christ is Our Brother:
This excerpt from Pepper Choplin's well received cantata We Were

presentation. Pepper's arrangement is inspiring and, to really feel

CD in performance. |
