This compilation of some of the most recognized songs of the Billy Graham ministry begins, and of course, ends with Just as I Am. The album features all new recordings of many of the songs, musicians, composers and arrangers that have contribued over the years to the music behind the ministry of Billy Graham. Included are: I'd Rather Have Jesus, and The Love of God sung by George Beverly Shea. Anyone who has attended a Billy Graham crusade, either in person or by television, or seen some of the films produced by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association will recognize He's Everything to Me and The New 23rd. The CD (also available in cassette) is a nostalgic tribute to a person and a ministry that has influenced Christendom for the last 50 years.
Symphony of Praise Volumes 1 and 2 1995 Brentwood Music. Produced by Don Marsh
These CDs, part of the Hymnworks series, blend favorite praise and worship songs with the timeless melodies of the great composers: Grieg, Mozart, Purcell, Tchaikovksy, Vivald, Copeland and others. Played by concert pianist Linda McKechnie with her brother Don Marsh's orchestra, songs like All Hail the Power are combined with pieces like Trumpet Voluntary by Purcell, and Seek Ye First is combined with Canon in D by Pachelbel. Mozart's Alleluja is blended with How Majestic is Your Name and Because He Lives with Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture.
The Hymnworks series can be used to begin one's own worship time, or just listened to for sheer pleasure of hearing classical and sacred music blended in a masterful way.
