notes
Wondrous Love is a collection of inspirational hymns performed in a unique blend of Celtic, baroque and new age
styles.
The album combines relaxing warm vocal performances accompanied by beautiful keyboard and acoustic musical arrangements. #1 on Celtic Christian charts for weeks.
"her voice has a rare and entrancing combination of achingly pure tone and sensual warmth." - (David Pearl - Lively Arts, January 2001)
"Folk hymns that will appeal to modern audiences...combines elements of new age music with subtle folk and Celtic influences." - (Cory Engel, Celtic Christian Tunes, August 2001)
"Wonderful atmospheric sensibility throughout... slightly haunting, yet warm, incredibly relaxing and totally beautiful." - (Simon Williams, SVP World Music, August 2001)
Wondrous Love is a collection of compelling, deeply spiritual songs that are a powerful part of our Christian heritage, yet seldom heard by many contemporary Christian audiences. One of the songs dates back to the 4th century and is attributed to St. Patrick. The album is a collection of timeless Celtic and Appalachian hymns.
Melody communicates across cultural barriers; some of these tunes have slipped through various sets of lyrics, across national boundaries and, in some cases, across a thousand years, now made accessible to 21st century audiences through Caroline's stunning pop vocals. Our worship in song connects us with all who have gone before us, who sang these hymns in their time, and who surround us like a great cloud of witnesses, encouraging us and urging us on in our lives. The church is composed not only of those worshipers of Christ now alive, but of all those who have ever lived, because all are alive to God. The writers of these hymns have the otherworldly, at times mystical, focus of people whose world was less certain and whose earthly attachments were less firm. It is our hope that they will encourage you in your love of Jesus Christ, and inspire you to contemplation of His love for you.
