Once in Royal David’s City – Alexander and Aubrey Woods, arrangers
For this hymn we envisioned a bird’s eye view of the earth shortly before the birth of Jesus Christ. As the whirling lines of the violins come together and pull apart throughout this arrangement, we wanted to represent a feeling of excitement and anticipation in the heavens and on the earth before this defining moment in our world’s history. We imagine soaring down from the heavens, and across the holy land as the event draws closer. At the finish we are left with a startlingly peaceful scene of a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

There is a Balm in Gilead – Alexander and Aubrey Woods, arrangers.
We included this title at the suggestion of a dear friend, and we are so glad we did. This traditional spiritual encapsulates the remorse we sometimes feel after making mistakes or the disappointment we feel if our actions have let down our Heavenly Father. Most importantly, it portrays the miraculous way that only Jesus Christ can heal us.

Kingsfold – Alexander and Aubrey Woods, arrangers
With this arrangement we wanted to attempt to capture a feeling of timelessness, of eternity. The constant drone in one of the violin parts during the first verse hearkens to a bagpipe, an instrument familiar to the region of this tune’s origin. By the constant sound of the bagpipe drone, and this beautiful melody, we aspire to represent our existence before coming to the earth, and the absence of time in heaven. The second and third verses represent our striving and experience gained through our earthly state. We hope you notice in the fourth verse that the bagpipe drone returns, and the familiar melody is stretched and pulled in places we may not expect, alluding to the subjectivity of time, or the eternal nature of our existence.
Silent Night – Alexander and Aubrey Woods, arrangers
During the introduction we imagined flickering starlight casting a glow on a beautiful manger scene. Each verse depicts the pure simplicity of this humble unaffected setting. In between verses, our interludes represent our internal emotional reaction to our Savior.
Beautiful Savior – Alexander and Aubrey Woods, arrangers
With Beautiful Savior we tried to create the sincerity and genuine love of Jesus through a child’s eyes. Perhaps you will see the beautiful light that surrounds us, or maybe hear birds singing. Maybe even a music box on the second verse. Whatever you hear, we hope to express the perfect beauty of our Savior.
This stunning arrangement by David A. Zabriskie of the beloved hymn “Be Still My Soul” feels like pure heavenly love. We felt it was the perfect arrangement to end our album.
