Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!

Kirk:

I am doing music now - mostly Christian stuff. It has been interesting introducing prog arrangements to individuals who have almost never heard of, nor even considered, the genre. Actually the music director at my church and one of the musicians, both of whom have degrees in music and are accomplished musicians, were fascinated with the concept of progressive music. I burned a CD for them with some classic prog stuff and lifted some info describing prog music from the internet. They were both impressed with the concept and the music and wondered why they had never encountered the genre before.

One day I hope to do produce some progressive arrangements of traditional church hymns. (Somewhat inspired after hearing Chris Squire do a bass solo using Amazing Grace as the melody line in 1976!)

Anyway, I do have some stuff available on line. Look at www.download.com/fragilecreation. My favorite is “Lord, you have My Heart”. “To Him/In the Holy Place” is moderately proggy, especially if you know the original song arrangements. “Cry” is an original written by a friend who was a bit surprised after we produced it as my arrangement changed the character of the song somewhat and moved it towards a progressive feel. “Creation Worships” will never be confused for a prog song.
