Background:
All the cuts on this CD were recorded spontaneously with no planned
agenda. A slight exception is "When I Survey" which was an
improvisation on a traditional melody. The low whistle and tin whistle
parts were recorded live on the mountains - the other instruments were
recorded/scored in the studio.
Recording Notes:
First Born: Recorded during the Oil of Unity Conference at Sky-Hy Conference
Center perched on Bradley Mountain. This is the only piece recorded indoors. 10/10/03
Call of the Dove: This was a cool autumn day on New Hampshire's 2,937-foot Mt. Kearsarge, overlooking Warner and Wilmot. On very clear days, views extend to the White Mountains, the Green Mountains of Vermont, the Atlantic Ocean, and Boston. 10/17/04
Rachel's Dance: A hike, picnic (and a divine dance!) with my wife Anne - late
autumn in Woodstock Vermont. 11/08/05
Inheritance: An Inheritance to obtain! A Scottish sound that says He reigns! Mount
Tom, Woodstock, Vermont 09/16/04
Winter Cry: What started as a warm autumn day turned into a hail storm during this recording. Hail was literally bouncing off my tin whistle during this take. If you listen carefully, you can hear the Priory bells at the begining of this
piece recorded on Priory Hill, Weston Vermont. 10/15/05
When I Survey: While in Scotland, we heard a church singing "When I Survey The Wondrous Cross" to this traditional folk melody. I played this piece in the shadow of a large wooden cross erected at the Pinnacle, Streams Ministries Prayer Mountain.
North Sutton, New Hampshire. 10/30/05
Jerusalem: This piece was recorded the same day as Winter Cry before the hail storm.
Priory Hill, Weston Vermont. Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem. 10/15/05
Caleb's March: At the end of this song (4:26 into song), our trusty
dog Tristan is heard barking at passing hikers on Mount Tom (you can see his picture on the photo page). In the Hebrew, Caleb means dog. This is a song of
dogged determination. 11/08/05
The White Wind: This was my first outdoor recording - You will hear some ancillary noises caused by wind pressure.
Recorded at the Pinnacle, North Sutton, New Hampshire. 09/30/04
