Details:
from the CD jacket:
Originally derived from the French ouverture, meaning opening, the word overture has taken on numerous definitions throughout music history. In the 17th century it was an orchestral introduction to an opera or vocal work, and by the 19th century it became a musical form, such as the three-movement Italian overture. When I think of an overture, I think of the moment the lights go down and the conductor raises the baton; of a timpani roll, a fanfare, an exciting and dramatic medley ... a preview of things to come.
It occurred to me, after having finished this collection, that these arrangements are indeed overture-like. Each has several musical themes and movements; medleys of popular Christian contemporary titles blended with more well-known hymn tunes. And most are somewhat dramatic.
Special thanks [...] to all my friends who have been asking for another CD, and to Susie and the boys for putting up with all the late night practicing.
Joel Raney
