Classics
Henry Van Dykes memorable lyrics to ''Joyful, Joyful,
We Adore Thee'' were set to the music from the last movement
of
Ludwig von Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 composed 1817-1823.
Much of our beautiful
sacred music has its foundations in the classics. In
this musical heritage version of AFTERGLOW you'll hear the London
Philharmonic
Orchestra, the Carnellean Quartet and pianist Linda McKechnie
beautifully combining ''Great Is The Lord'' with ''Minuet''
by Paderewski and
''All Hail The Power'' with ''Trumpet Voluntary'' by
Purcelli.
This version of AFTERGLOW is created especially for stations
that play classical music and that may or may not be
affiliated with
NPR (National Public Radio). You'll not only hear music
favorites in classical stylings, but learn the rich heritage
from which these
songs emerged.

"Amazing Love" Story CD – Stories of the Cross
and Beyond
"Amazing Love" CD is a perfect follow-up to "The
Passion of the Christ" movie. The movie Dramatically shows
what happened to Christ during His last hours of trial and crucifixion. "Amazing
Love" points out how this benefits all of us.
The
movie aroused the world, both Christian and non-Christian. "Amazing
Love" is a "soothing supplement" to the movie.
It is a "must listening" for everyone, whether seeing
the movie or not. It will cause us to take inventory of our "spiritual
self" and see where we need help.

the universally recognizable "Amazing
Grace" and listen to unique arrangements of "The Old
Rugged Cross" and "I Bowed On My Knees and Cried 'Holy'." Hear
