专辑简介

Dr. Richard Fischer writes of this release: “This recording project is both exciting and worthwhile, allowing members of the Wind Symphony to provide members of the church, along with elementary, secondary and college band conductors, with outstanding performances of many previously unrecorded sacred works for winds. For band conductors and their students throughout the world, it provides a model for the performance of these works. For members of the church it is another example of our ongoing music ministry of providing recordings of sacred works, many of which are inspired by familiar hymn tunes. There is a great need in our church for live performances that include the playing of sacred music. While the greatest benefit is derived from being in attendance at a concert or worship service, a recording project such as this allows us not only to share our musical gifts with others, but also to provide the listener with an opportunity to experience over and over again the uplifting sounds of wind and percussion that boldly give glory and praise to our God.
