Old hymns, new music

 

There are many old hymns that, over the years, have become largely neglected. Yet, they contain profound truths expressed in the most elegant ways. Ken has taken some of these beautiful hymns and set them to new music.

 

His music is essentially rich in melody and ideal for congregational singing in unison. The accompaniments are simple yet rich, and well within the capabilities of church musicians.

 

 

With the more unfamiliar hymns, Ken has woven some common musical patterns, but with different shades and textures, to produce a contemporary sound that respects the reverence of the words.

 

The hymns comprise The Warrnambool Collection, written in 2013, and several other hymns written at different times.
