Free Music Review: This just absolutely floored me.
Hit: 5 Stars
I purchased this CD at the Eastleigh Festival back in August 2005, when Beth performed there(she even did a rendition of AVE VERUM CORPUS with her musicians reading the words from the songbook!) and as I have said in a previous review, she was a lovely person to speak with, and my HYMNS was autographed by her. Now, to the music itself . . . prepare yourself for one hell of an album. Beth has collected together some traditional hymns sung at Catholic mass in Latin, mainly, but performed with much of her acoustic folk/roots sound to introduce them to a new audience. Also guesting with her are her son and assorted musicians, including John Catchings, who performed with Nanci Griffith on THE DUST BOWL SYMPHONY(as a matter of fact, so did Beth!!).
HYMNS is simply stunning, beautiful and truly touching to listen to. It will reach inside your heart to a very deep place and you will experience many different emotions, as with Beth's other comtemporary CDs. It also brought back some fond memories of schooldays - we used to sing AVE MARIA in chapel and often afterwards the headmaster would yell at us 'THAT WAS PATHETIC! WE WILL SING THAT AGAIN OR YOU WILL BE IN DETENTION'!(bangs his cane on the altar - yes, I used to go to a public school for a year until we moved) Ahh, but if only we had Beth as a singing tutor then we would have all sung like angels . . . AVE VERUM CORPUS - a version of this featured in the sci-fi movie THE ISLAND - is a Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart piece, you also get SALVE REGINA and O GOD OF LOVELINESS - listen carefully to this album and you will also hear some of Beth's classical influences to her music, compare and contrast VENI VENI EMMANUEL to FEATHERS, BONES AND SHELLS on 'Deeper Still' for instance.
Special mention must be made of HYMN TO MARY, which was written by Beth herself during 2002 when she was undergoing chemotherapy for cancer. I understand she sought help in a prayer to Mary which formed the basis for this hymn. She spoke of this story in her recent service at St Paul's Cathedral in London. This song really does tear at the heart strings but at the same time offers a message of hope showing how people can find comfort in song and faith.
Beth is also working on another HYMNS album, this time featuring world hymns. This would be just awesome. Altogether, this first HYMNS album is suitable for anyone to enjoy and feel comfort from, regardless of what religious beliefs you have. It is simply astounding; Beth never ceases to be brilliant and awe-inspiring in my eyes.
