Traditional Christmas hymn that takes on a new energy
and excitement. If you think about it, the song is one of joy,
rejoicing and great anticipation that the Saviour of the World has
been born. Why should it be a "durge"? This gospel interpretation was borrowed heavily upon from an arrangement done by Andraé Crouche. Doug tried to locate the original arranger, but could not locate them. So, he borrowed the ideas that worked and arranged a totally new intro and ending. |

This song was the most challenging track on the whole
project. I had 12 different people with schedules and time
restrictions that had to be coordinated. Then, there was the
problem of my studio only being able to record one or two people at a time.
So, this "choir" was recorded ONE performer at a time; starting with
Dana, then Jennifer, then Robert. One
by one, each voice was added to their part until this angelic choir appeared
in the ear! Amy Thorn, joined the cast at the last minute, and was not
included in the chorus as were all the others in the cast. My good
friend- Tim Grissett- joined in on the chorus. Tim
always loves singing choir music and he did a fine job on this recording. My hat is off to each of the performers for bringing their own energy and style to the recording. One spot, toward the end, is what I call the "Gospel Jam Session", which features Jennifer, Cheryl and Paige. Paige is only 13 1/2 years old and she just cut loose and sang "Do it, do it, do it.... "! Cheryl adds her soulful flavor and Jennifer tops it off with her "get down soul" voice. The excitement of the recording is topped off with a
new section that I arranged because the original- Andraé Crouche
version was just "too hard" to figure out how to record without a whole
group there together. So, as usual, I adapted something that
worked just for this project. |
