Free Music Notes for High & Lifted UpFree Music Review: The BEST HAS DONE IT AGAIN, and AGAIN! Hit: 5 Stars
I first heard the "Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir" when they had a little-known, obscure album, titled, SO IN LOVE....but I was hooked back then, and I'm still hooked today.This recording is DA BOMB! Having visited this congregation a couple of times, I rushed to the store and copy my own copy of the CD, and listened to it all the way through at least three times in one sitting! It is great. My favorite song, "WE ARE UNITED" featuring Calvin Hunt, and such tight vocal arrangements, that would can only REJOICE. This song speaks of the confidence that we can have in the power of the Word of God. The lovely, "Father We Adore Thee" so ably adapted by the producer's husband (Pastor Jim Cymbala)and the inspiring "High and Lifted Up" are worth the price of the album by themselves. And the usual "no fluff," straightforward affirmations and testimonies to the grace of God from a choir that can affirm that grace in the context of their own experiences. NOT BAD FOR A CHOIR THAT DOES NOT READ MUSIC! Thanks, Carol and choir for, once again, blessing the church with such wonderfully inspiring music. I can hardly wait to visit this congregation again...and maybe even take someone with me!
Free Music Review: Total Praise Hit: 5 Stars
Carol Cymbala and the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir has proved once again that the greatest gospel music comes from voices of men and women who've been touched by God. There is an amazing sense of integrity in this music. These people sing what they believe and give the listeners a chance to experience their faith and spirituality. If Oprah has "Change Your Life T.V." then Brooklyn Tabernacle lays claim to "Change Your Life Music".Carol Cymbala and Oliver Well's title cut "High and Lifted Up" gives the choir its greatest moments in this great album. Listening to "High and Lifted Up" one is refreshed and renewed. Cuts like "Psalm 150, Praise Ye The Lord" and "Blessed Be The Lord" are signature "Brooklyn Tab" songs gaurenteed to please. Richard Smallwood's "Total Praise" is a great opening vehicle for the album and really sets the tone. "High and Lifted Up" is total praise. The best albums are new albums which leave you hungry for more. This is one of those albums, we can only look forward to the future outings of the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir.
Free Music Review: Life Changing Music Hit: 5 Stars
I have had the opportunity to see the Brooklyn Tabernacle in their home setting and this album certainly captures their true spirit. The selection of music on this album is a reflection of the various cultures represented at the Brooklyn Tabernacle. Technically this is probably not the best gospel choir in the country but if peoples lives were affected by the quality of voice and music, this world would probably be a much better place. This choir's music reaches the soul and if you couldn't be there live, then this CD is the next best thing. Pay close attention to the lyrics...they are relevant and addresses the struggles that I deal with on daily basis. Congratulations to another job well done.
Free Music Review: Because Of Who They Are Hit: 5 Stars
If you have never heard the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir,please add that to your list of things you plan on doing for 2004, along with the usual"going on a diet". Then after you have heard their cd "This Is Your House", buy a plane ticket and go see them in person, but make sure you take some one with you, because you will not believe what you will see and hear from the 283 plus singers at the Brooklyn Tabernacle Church. The "Holy Spirit" is so overwhelming in this church,you will want to share this feeling.Thank God for Mrs.Carol Cymbala and her choir family,ask anyone and they will tell you how to get to the church in Brooklyn,you will visit more than once.........
Free Music Review: A Great Praise and Worship Album Hit: 5 Stars
The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir always puts out top quality and uplifting songs that bring glory to the Savior, and this album is no different. Every song will uplift and motivate, at least it did me. "Total Praise", though simple in lyrics, is extremely moving and wonderfully arranged, (my favorite on the album), which has an extremely important messange to Christians on the true source of our strength. "My Help" , is another beautiful song ,perfectly arranged, extremely uplifting. A truly professional and uplifting project. I highly recommend this album to all who wish to receive a real blessing in song.
