Product Description

A suite of four old hymns (each is available separately): "Softly and Tenderly," "There Is a Fountain," "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross," and an uptempo "Amazing Grace." (See Youtube link for a medley of excerpts from each.)

I. SOFTLY AND TENDERLY
A quiet setting expressing the longing of the Savior for us to come home. Beginning with unison men over a simple Copland-esque accompaniment, it contains both the traditional harmonization familiar to audiences, as well as some brief, striking sojourns to remote tonalities used to underscore texts such as though we have sinned He has mercy and pardon.

II. THERE IS A FOUNTAIN ARE YOU WASHED
An a cappella medley of the title hymn along with Are You Washed? and Nothing But The Blood. It begins slowly and softly with unison women singing the opening phrase There is a fountain. Later, the tempo picks up into a camp-meeting style for the other two hymns.

III. WHEN I SURVEY THE WONDROUS CROSS
A cappella. Austere and stately. The first verse is set with the traditional harmonization, the second verse is dramatically re-harmonized to paint the text See from His head, His hands, His side.

IV. AMAZING GRACE COLLAGE
A joyous, celebratory, up-tempo setting that weaves numerous quotes of other hymns into the fabric of John Newtons beloved text.
