Beautiful Savior (Violin Duet – Woods) – mp3
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.
Including this piece was another suggestion from someone very dear to us. There is no other composer that has influenced the history of music more that Johann Sebastian Bach. We feel that Bach’s works are so inspired that they transcend time, and the instruments that they are written for. We are so happy to present this familiar piece from Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier on the violin and viola. In it, we feel that Bach shares a lifetime of wisdom in less than three minutes.

Come Thou Fount / If You Could Hie to Kolob (Violin Solo – Parkinson) – mp3
Kelly Clark-Parkinson has chosen a number of traditional and religious tunes, and she works the material from the inside, never overshadowing the melodies but instead seeking their highest, purest form. Ms. Clark-Parkinson is a tremendous instrumentalist. Here, she serves the material, letting the beauty of the melodies she has chosen take the forefront, rather than spoiling the mood with unnecessary pyrotechnics and flourishes (of which she would certainly be more than capable.) The arrangements aren’t simple or dumbed-down, they are just right.

Silent Night (Violin Duet – Woods) – mp3
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.
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.

As we started to put this arrangement together we imagined a small family of pioneers crossing the American plains. During the introduction, verses, and ending we tried to portray this family’s relentless and plodding footsteps in the viola part. During the interludes between verses we imagined the young mother and father reflecting on their journey at the end of a trying day. Perhaps contemplating both the difficulty of their task as well as their love for each other, and their hope in the Savior.

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.

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.

One Star (Holyoak – SATB)
One Star (SATB) – Kathleen Holyoak, composer
“One Star,” a lovely SATB choral arrangement with optional violin and cello obbligatos, is based upon the 17th Century carol, “The First Noel.”This is a wonderful Christmas title appropriate for any Christmas meeting or devotional and certainly one to include in your choral library.Words by Gary Croxall beautifully describe the night that one star lit the way to the place of Christ’s birth:
One star to light the Christmas way;
a manger filled with straw and hay,
and starlight fell upon His face
as shepherds hastened to the place.
His breath was sweet as April air,
the little baby pure and fair
brought hope and love and peace sublime,
when He was born at Christmas time.
Noel, Noel. Sing we Noel.
Born is the King of Israel.
As angels sang above a stall
of peace on earth, good will to all;
God’s little baby fell asleep,
and Mary kissed Him on His cheek.
He slept among the stable beasts,
while wise men journeyed from the East
To honor Him and give Him laud,
the newborn King, the Son of God.
Noel, noel. One star’s light . . . burning bright.
Noel, noel! Noel, noel! Born is the King.
Born is the King of Israel, behold His star!
Noel, Noel. One star, Noel!

Take My Hand
Take My Hand, a SATB choral arrangement with music by Kathleen Holyoak, is an especially beautiful title relating to the theme of service: helping and lifting others and a wonderful choice for any worship service. This title is also available in a SSA arrangement and includes a violin obbligato. Follow the words as you listen:
When I reach to help another,
When I seek to take their part,
I can feel the love of heaven
Settle gently in my heart.
With these hands to offer mercy
I help wipe away each care,
As I bend to lift another
From despair, from despair.
Take my hand, take my hand,
I will lift you come what may.
With faith the Lord, our loving Lord,
With faith that He will always show the way.
We are sent to render comfort and to
Pray for those who mourn,
And bring the gospel radiance
To each friend who is forlorn;
To lift them in their weakness
With help from heav’n above,
And walk with them and talk with them
Until they feel God’s love.
When I see a person suff’ring
From a loss or from a need,
When a neighbor seeks my comfort
And I hasten to pay heed.
Then the Holy Spirit guides me,
Shedding light along the way,
As I’m reaching out to others
Day by day, day by day.
Take my hand, take my hand,
I will keep you come what may.
Come walk with me until you see
Our Savior’s arms are always open wide.
Take my hand, take my hand.

This emotionally charged piano solo by Kathleen Holyoak takes you on a musical journey with the Mormon pioneers as they ventured to the West. The opening pleads, “O, Savior, staythis night with me,” with the answer, “All is well, all is well.” The medley continues with melodies from, “Come, Come Ye Saints,” “They the Builders of the Nation,” “Though Deepening Trials,” and concludes in a grand finale with the strains of “O, Zion! Dear Zion! Land of the free, now my own mountain home, unto thee I have come; all my fond hopes are centered in thee” from “O Ye Mountains High.”
This arrangement is also available in SATB and as a piano solo.
