First Call member, Melodie Tunney continues her gorgeous arranging skills with this stunning a cappella setting of "Holy, Holy, Holy.' Her contemporary style and brilliant use of harmonization makes this an unforgettable setting for worship of all styles. 'Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!' The artistic and talented Ken Berg arranges these poignant words penned by Fanny Crosby in 'Assurance.' A challenging a cappella setting, Assurance is well worth the rehearsal time and energy, which will produce a thrilling performance for any service of worship or concert. Beautiful, worshipful and comforting, this gorgeous arrangement of Lelia Morris' 'Nearer, Still Nearer' is arranged by Bob Burroughs in his signature style. The harmony is stunning while the a cappella rendition allows the impact of those chords to shine. A surprise phrase of 'draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,' brings this piece to a gripping close. Arranged with an Alto Solo lead, which is signature Melody Tunney, 'Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne' is just stunning! Emotion packed and reverent, this stirring choral evokes worship. With some degree of ability required, and the majority of the parts divisi throughout, the end result is thrilling. Text resounding, "O come to my heart, Lord Jesus," it is perfect or Christmas or any time of the church year. |
