Music reviews of Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Music Review: Soul-stirring music from a world-class choir
Rating: 5 Stars
There are three musical genres in which the Mormon Tabernacle Choir excels: sacred music, patriotic music, and folk songs. "Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing" is filled with stunning examples of the third category, and it is one of their strongest albums ever. A huge reason for the album's success lies in the striking arrangements of their current musical director, Mack Wilberg. Long recognized as a premiere arranger of folk songs, his musical stamp is all over this recording, with thirteen of the seventeen songs being his own arrangements. "Saints Bound For Heaven" opens the disc, and a more joyous, powerful reading could not be hoped for - from there, the disc alternates between gorgeous, lyrical melodies (like "Death Shall Not Destroy My Comfort" and "His Voice as the Sound") and joyous declarations of faith, such as "Bound For The Promised Land," "How Bright Is The Day," "Down To The River To Pray," and the title track.
Most surprising of all is the soulful gospel revealed in songs like "I Want Jesus To Walk With Me" and "Rock-A-My-Soul In The Bosom Of Abraham" (both featuring soloist and choir member Alex Boyé). The size of the choir, coupled with their diligent perfectionism result in some of the most moving, inspiring music making of their entire oeuvre. Other favorites of mine on the disc include "The Battle Of Jericho" "Deep River" and the seminal "Amazing Grace" (also in a new arrangement by Mack Wilberg, which is stunning.) But I cannot recommend this disc highly enough - in these difficult times, this is music to lift you up.
