These 14 solos are a representative selection of my sacred songs, in a range of styles for various vocal types. They include influences from China and English folk idiom. ‘Christmas Gifts’ is based on a Chinese hymn tune. ‘Don’t teach the children to hate’ was written as a response to the events of 9/11/01. ‘Mother’s New Year Gift’ was inspired by the setting of ‘Father-Mother God, loving me’ by Martin Broones. ‘Rest’ was written in the same style as the well-loved hymn ‘O Dreamer’. Many of these songs have been sung in worship services around the world and I hope this recording will bring blessings in church, in the home, or wherever it is played. I am grateful to Watchfire Music for producing this, my first CD album, and to the artists for the care they have taken to bring out the healing potential of my music.
