We have come to expect certain things from 4-man Acappella, one of the most talented and prolific Gospel groups. First, that producer Keith Lancaster would pen and arrange at least half the songs, and second, that the deeply felt leads and harmonies would be perfect. "Hymns" surprises in that it's a cover CD, with only arrangements from Mr. Lancaster. That said, the arrangements are incredible! 10 songs" "All Hail The Power," "When I Survey/Old Rugged Cross," "Softly and Tenderly," the driving, rhythmic "Rock of Ages," "Holy, Holy, Holy," a jazzy, joyous "In The Garden," "Just As I Am," the stunning "Amazing Grace," a reggae-flavored "Blessed Assurance" and a personal favorite, " It Is Well." It is as if we are hearing these beautiful songs for the first time. Another triumph for Acappella!

Songlist: All Hail the Power, When I Survey/ Old Rugged Cross, Softly and Tenderly, Rock of Ages, Holy, Holy, Holy, In the Garden, Just As I Am, Amazing Grace, Blessed Assurance, It Is Well

Lacking sufficient superlatives to merely rave, your trusty reviewer will try to give a feeling of the musical arrangements applied to some well known hymns, amidst a bevy of lesser-knowns. The beginning tune is more than just worthy of attention, it rivets one's attention. The hymn is Edward Shurtleff's 'Lead On, O King Eternal.' It was written in 1887 when his classmates of his seminary graduating class requested that he compose an inspirational call to spiritual battle. Glad embellishes the resulting hymn with an implication of vocal fanfare in the background, four part harmonies, the use of jazz chording and builds to such a crescendo that it is as inspiring as the composer would have ever wished. That is just the first song! Among the fourteen songs are found 'Rock of Ages,' 'Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee' and 'Fairest Lord Jesus.' They provide a rock of familiarity so that our spirits can soar into the lesser known and still be anchored. An additional little bonus are the notes which give brief histories of the songs. Great!

Songlist: Lead On, O King Eternal, Beneath The Cross Medley, This Is My Father's World/For The Beauty Of The Earth, Rock Of Ages, Blessed Assurance, All Beauty Speaks Of Thee, I Sing The Mighty Power of God, Thy Word Medley, Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee, Fairest Lord Jesus, Immortal Invisible, Breathe On Me, Breath Of God, Love Divine, All Loves Excelling, The Master Has Come/O Worship

The contemporary Christian group Glad is one of the most consistently popular groups of the genre. This "Collector's Series," drawn from their eight-CD catalog, shows why: they've developed their own readily-identifiable sound (multi-layered, complex, big) and they do it really well. For example, "Doer of Your Word" has the easy familiarity and sing-along refrain of a pop song, but beyond the surface the arrangement and production is simply stunning. Vocal trills, shifts of meter, countermelody upon countermelody utilizing voice as instrument-this is their standard modus operandi. Listening to the tracks over and over, one hears them differently each time, as if studying the brushstrokes of a painting individually. One new track, "Praise To The Lord" by John Rutter, is an added bonus.

Songlist: Vol. 1, God Is My Rock, Easter Song, Mary, Mary, Just As I Am, The Solid Rock, Praise To The Lord, The Almighty, Blessed Assurance, The Reason, Mighty Fortress, Your Love Broke Through, For Unto Us, One Quiet Moment, You Put This Love In My Heart, Vol. 2, This Is My Father's World/ For The Beauty Of The Earth, Sing It ACappella, Be Thou My Vision, Amen, Arise, My Soul, Arise, Doer Of Your Word, Christ The Lord Is Risen Today, Love One Another, God So Loved The World, Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee, Rock Of Ages, Crown Him, Be Ye Glad, In The First Light
