Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Beautiful harmoniesThis has to be my favorite CD of Beth Neilsen Chapman's collection. It is very unlike her other CDs, being mostly composed of Catholic hymns. I've never cared for Catholic hymns, for the most part, or Gregorian chants either, but Beth does such a nice job with these hymns that I think almost anyone would enjoy listening to this CD. The hymns are sung in a very peaceful, haunting manner with beautiful harmonies and minimal instrumentation. Rating: - HymnsAbsolutely divine. Beth Nielsen Chapman sings every word of every hymn like she is alone in a room with God or with Mary and singing for them alone. When you listen to this CD, you will feel an epiphany too. Rating: - Reflective and restfulI received this CD for my birthday and loved it so much I listened to it while in labor in the hospital. My doctor and nurse both commented on how much they liked the CD.

Rating: - Music from the back of the bus coming back from the football gameAnyone who went to Catholic School before about 1965 will recognize these hymns.

That would have been the slow dances in a gym circa 1960, or maybe the slower folk songs we had in chorus sometimes. Think Goodnight Sweetheart Well It's Time To Go or maybe Down In The Valley The Valley So Low. It is a combination of American Catholic folk songs, in a professionalized performance informed by the Platters and Carl Sandberg's American ... Read More: |
