Renowned flutist and New England Conservatory faculty member Paula Robison, along with Grammy Award-winning composer and guitarist Frederic Hand present Amazing Grace: Eight Songs of the Spirit. This collection represents their performance collaborations, containing arrangements of eight "spirit songs" drawn from all over the world. Says Robison, "When we first started playing together, we embarked on a delightful journey. We wanted to explore all kinds of music... We offer here a collection of songs of the spirit, music which has taken us beyond ourselves as we've played it and brought us to a special luminous place. We hope that these songs will give you as much joy as they have given us." These works can be performed as a suite in recital or used as individual hymns.________________________________________See the biographies of Paula Robison and Frederic Hand on the back cover.
PrefaceWhen we first started playing together, we embarked on a delightful journey. We wanted to explore all kinds of music, fromVivaldi arias to Neapolitan dances, from American hymns to Sephardic melodies, and to discover songs filled with beautywhich our two instruments could express.We offer here a collection of songs of the spirit, music which has taken us beyond ourselves as we’ve played it and broughtus to a special luminous place. Since each melody has its own origin and meaning, we have included some descriptions, texts,and performance ideas.We hope that these songs will give you as much joy as they have given us.— Paula Robison and Frederic Hand_______________________________________See also "Notes by Paula Robison" on the individual pieces in this work on pages two and three.
