Order our album
The Sacred Winds Ensemble is excited to announce the release of their album, In Christ Alone. The recording features four works commissioned by the Sacred Winds Commissioning Project with each work based on well-known hymns including Praise to the Lord, All Creatures of Our God and King, Just A Closer Walk With Thee, and All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name.
The album was recorded over two days at Tates Creek Christian Church in Lexington, KY, with three-time Grammy-award-winning recording engineer, David Lau, owner of Brookwood Studios in Plymouth, MI. With over 45 minutes of music, the album explores the wind ensemble’s rich diversity through the lens of the Christian worldview.
“Your recording of ‘Voyage’ is brilliant!!! Great intonation, tempo choices, balance, and attention to detail! It is certainly THE definitive recording. Your program notes for the entire CD are really good. I just listened to the CD in its entirety, and there’s no doubt you have added a serious gift of music to the musical world.”
