Holy Communion for Contemporary Christians - by Jay Beech
Description
This liturgy was originally commissioned for the National Youth Gathering
held in Atlanta, GA and was premiered at that event in 1994. Stylistically
the music of this service is influenced by blues, jazz, and African American
gospel music. It follows the standard order of service but the liturgical
music includes some alternate texts adapted from the book of Ephesians.
The themes of baptism and resurrection are strongly expressed.
Item
The first half of the CD features all of the music from the liturgy.
The second half has great recordings of some of the participational music
for which The Jay Beech Band was known at youth gatherings.
High-quality AIFF files.
