Introducing
"I Take Delight" by Catholic song writer Tom Anderson,
however he has written
material for the
Salvation
Army
and the Anglican community
as well. This collection of 8
songs
covers
a number of subjects
ranging
from Easter to Meditation. Recorded for a audience with a wide
musical taste and with much depth
in
the lyrical content, this CD would easily find a place in any
Christian music collection. The title track, "I Take
Delight",
is truly a remarkable song, very popular on Christian radio,
arguably Tom's best song on this CD.
The
lyric in the song concentrates on God's creation and our delight in
seeing, hearing and living in the world
God
made for us.

Evensounds
is Catherine Blackford, Michael Somerville and Leanne Piller. The
album "Coming Home"
contains
music that has been written specifically to encourage congregational
participation and therefore
the
hymns have been kept simple from a musical perspective so that they
can be performed effectively
regardless
of the instrumentation available. Others are more musically
challenging, and are designed to be
listened
to more as reflection pieces.
To learn more, find out how to purchase the CD and to sample some of the music, please visit their website at www.evensounds.com.au.
"Released"
is Ann's first recording and a response to many requests to make her
music aviable outside her
church
community . She has over 100 compositions in her song book so this
is just a taste. Ann comes from
Perth
and this CD has been favourably recieved there. Ann states her
target audiance is primarily mature age,
however,
I think that depends your taste in music as her style is quite modern.
