No Instruments!
What is it about a cappella singing? It is one of my favorite styles and one that often gives the audience “chills”!
This a cappella quartet opens Hidden Treasures: A Musical Revue of the Parables of Jesus Christ.
The song “Hidden Treasures” is based on 2 short parables which are found in Matthew 13:44-46. The lyrics are on the Hidden Treasures musical home page, here:
I love all kinds of a cappella singing! I like the technology-heavy version of a single artist singing against his own voice (like Peter Hollens’ version of “I See Fire“) or BYU’s Vocal Point’s version of Newsies, or the modern-gospel style of Mountain Blue. Mmm, mmm, mmm!
My thanks to the pitch-perfect singers who joined me on this song: Tasha Fischer, Bruce Dangerfield and Bruce Burton. It was magic to step onto the stage with them each evening and draw the audience into our musical embrace.
