Reformation 500 Anniversary Album: Martin Luther - Celebration of Spirit
A beautiful commemorative album celebrating the 500th Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation with music that honors the past while celebrating our present. The 500 Anniversary Album features contemporary/traditional blended styles; classical with just enough pop for universal acceptance, straightforward hymns, a capella choir, high Anglican, and Renaissance motets from Luther’s day.
Album Highlights:
Billboard charting soprano, Sarah Copus, age 13, shares her angelic voice on the first track to Currea’s arrangement of Luther’s version of the Lord’s Prayer, Our Father, Thou in Heaven Above;
A first release of the “the lost Luther motet”, In Pace in idipsum, by Ludwig Senfl, discovered by scholar Ole Kongsted
Award winning composition, Hymn to the Holy Spirit, by Rachel Currea, text by Byzantine monk, Symeon the New Theologian, featuring choir and orchestra, with soloist, Megan Barrera.
