In what may be the first-ever reference work of its kind, the 1,000-page Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music profiles Christian musicians, songwriters and producers, in addition to secular artists whose faith has influenced their music. Author Mark Allan Powell (who is actually a New Testament scholar of considerable repute)States he wandered into a Christian bookstore five years ago and discovered that more than a quarter of the shelf space was devoted to contemporary Christian music. There was not, however, a single book on the subject a lacuna that’ll be amply corrected by this enormous, funny, informative tome. Powell is a man of considerable opinions, whether he is defending Amy Grant’s album Behind the Eyes as possibly the most painfully honest recording ever produced by any artist or arguing about the impact of Rich Mullins’s tragically short career. On a basic level, the book will be utilized as an encyclopedia by people who con (more…)

Ralph and Barbara have been music leaders for decades and found there were times when a special day required a special song, so they wrote them. Here are the entire scores, instrument parts and vocal parts. There are new praise songs, “special music” songs, and a Mother’s and Father’s Day song, difficult to find! “Don’t Dance So Fast” alludes to everyone’s need to enjoy everyday God gives them. A “Song for Lauren” was written when they’d to sing at the funeral of a young girl, killed by racists along with her friend and grandparents on a back country road. “The Words of Jesus” is for the ascension. The Passion of Jesus, for before Easter as Christ prayed for His Father to take the “cup” away from Him. Ralph sang “The Lord’s Prayer” for his four daughter’s weddings. When the fifth got married, Ralph had reached his 80’s, with Parkinson’s. So he recorded the song, and it rang throughout the chapel! Ralph also wrote a beautiful melody to The Lord’s Prayer – Enjoy!

Review

Seems simple: our favorite hymns covered on the piano. Yet, it s so much more than that Bjorck reworks each composition, and upon initial listen the musical themes are nearly unrecognizable. Known for his Pure Piano Music series, he relies on the simplicity of solo acoustic piano to convey his message. It works, too. Unique arrangements make up for the minimalist instrumentation. At times you ll find yourself singing a familiar chorus, but more often than not, you ll be trying to place that one melody. Bjorck claims his album as a tribute to the composers of the melodies for each hymn; the authors are often credited for their lyrics, but he brings a new emphasis on the musical side of the hymns. The perfect combination of classical piano, well-known hymns and contemporary piano arrangements, This I Know is aone-of-a-kindrelease. Bjorck s motto for his music is Quiet music to calm the heart in a noisy world, and This I Know: Ageless Hymns of Faith is the perfect exa (more…)
