There is nothing that touches the soul quite like music. There is nothing that can reach deep inside the human soul, change a mood, or lift your spirit quite like this strange phenomenon we call music. And the most powerful music occurs when a beautiful composition is born; is shaped, and molded by an insightful and gifted arranger; and then delivered to the listener’s ear by the hands of a sensitive and talented performer. This is a rare event. Yet this is what has happened here. Some of the most beautiful Christian songs are included here:
- On Eagles Wings
- Spirit Song
- El Shaddai
- I Exalt Thee
- Lamb of God
- Give Thanks
- How Beautiful
- Oh How He Loves You and Me
- Near to the Heart of God/Heart of Worship
- Alleluia/The Majesty and Glory of Your Name
- Change My Heart – O God
It presents strikingly rich, chordally complex, and innovative arrangements by some of the most talented Christian arrangers in the nation:
- Mark Hayes
- Carol Tornquist, and
- John Carter
These, in turn, have been interpreted and delivered here on this recording by an extraordinarily talented pianist – Donna Sammarco. Her sensitive touch and feel for the music creates an aura which cannot be mistaken. And when you listen to her play - just for a moment - just for a little while - the rest of the world will go away, and you will feel the warmth of God’s love and be immersed in His peace. Clearly, there is no better place to be. It is something which must be experienced to be believed.
