Spiritual Essence Recording Description

This recording has become one of our best sellers and for good reason.  Its mix of best loved traditional hymns and folk melodies contains some of the meaningful music in the spiritual repertoire.  It was created for the simple purpose of accessing those wonderful spiritual memories and feelings associated with similar musical experiences in our past. 

Spiritual Essence Featured Musicians

For years, we have enjoyed sharing our music with a wide variety of churches and denominations.  Many of the selections of this recording have become important to us as part of our preludes and postludes.  We trust they will provide you with some of the same spiritual feelings we experience when we play them.

Our close friend, Judy London adds her keyboard skills to this recording.  Judy has shared musically with us for many years through our church and on our other recordings.  We have always appreciated her sensitivity and willingness to explore new musical venues.  In this recording, she coaxes beauty from our old antique portable harmonium used by the chaplains in the field during WWI.  She also shares the organ settings from our keyboard.
