5 out of 5 stars Great live, great cd........2005-02-23

I just discovered Babbie 1/10/04 when she came to North Metro church in Marietta to participate in a benefit concert with Mac Powell (of Third Day), Todd Fields (Worship leader at Northpointe Community Church in Alpharetta, GA which is led by Andy Stanley, son of Charles Stanley), Kenn Kington and the Pat Terry Group (very big in Christian music in the 70's - legendary pioneers of Christian Rock). To say she has an amazing voice would not really do her justice. She has a presence about her when she performs that says "I'm totally at ease". It's important to point that out as that comes through in all of her songs on this cd. She'll lead you to lift up the Lord and let you sing along and praise the Lord at the same time. On this particular recording she's singing live so you'll be able to enjoy the passion that she sings with live. This cd is worth the money.

5 out of 5 stars My favorite Christian artist.......2000-03-10

I really enjoyed this cd by Babbie Mason. I like the tempo first a lot of fast up beat melodies, then it simmers down to nice quiet rythms. I particulary like "He'll find a way" and "God has another plan".

I love all the cd's by Babbie. I put on the music in the car, and start singing with her. Don't we all wish we could sing like "Babbie". I was able to share with the congregation another one of Babbie's songs', God is Good... (All the Time)". I purchased the trax/accompainment tape. My whole church loved it and they became more familiar with her music. God is really sweeping through the Gospel music industry with Babbie. She's the true "Aretha" of Gospel and Christian music. God Bless!

5 out of 5 stars Babbie Mason--Soaring on the wings of a DOVE!.......1998-09-07

Babbie Mason is absolutely an inspired and motivated woman of God. Her music bears the fruit of the depth of the relationship she has grown into with Christ. Babbie is quite the pacesetter in the front lines of Inspirational Christian Music. She is quite the minority on her record label in that she is a solo black female artist, whose music is successfully soaring it's way into multi-cultural societies despite socio-economic backgrounds. Mason, winner of a long-awaited Dove Award (and countless nominations), has placed herself in the forefront again for the live recording of the Praise Celebration album, in which she is always careful to give God the praise. Babbie, your labor for Christ is not in vain so constantly and consistently keep Him and only Him ever before you. May the Peace of the Lord continue to lead you in all that you do.

    I absolutely love this CD!!! O'landa Draper was so very talented. The songs on the CD were written under the anointing. I love the music and the lyrics of the songs!!! My favorite song in this CD is "Use Me." The lead vocalist has a beautiful voice!!!! I personally feel as though this was O'landa Draper's best work ever!!! I miss O'landa Draper. He truly was an asset to the body of Christ. I was so hurt when I received word that he passed away.

        Some children's choirs achieve a professional level of performance, and among these the Toronto Children's Chorus is at the top of the list. This disc's subtitle says it all--after listening to this celebration your heart will truly soar. This is a virtuoso program of modern works that demands--and delivers--exceptional intonation, keen rhythmic sense, and well-developed vocal technique and musicianship. --David Vernier

            5 out of 5 stars a voice teacher and early music fan.......2006-01-27

            Purcell compositions for Queen Mary span the whole of her brief reign. He provided music for her coronation, on April 11,1689; for the formal celebraton of her birthday on April 30 each year; and for her funeral, on March 5, 1695. At the coronation of William and Mary his 'I was glad' was one of 9 anthems performed during this ceremony. Purcell, in his position as Abbey Organist had tailored the music with precision. The opening passage is in stately block chords-straightforward for the choir to co-ordinate while proceeding along the nave, and arriving in their places just in time to watch the conductor for the closing bars. Later in the service the 2nd anthem by Purcell was sung:"Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem",
            The centerpiece of this disc is the Ode for Queen Mary's birthday"Now does the glorious day appear" and glorious it is!!! It is divided into 14 sections; some solos, some duets and some choruses. It was easily the finest royal ode he had as yet composed, and also the most richly scored; laid out for five part strings, the violas being divided. Thanks to this exotic scoring, the ode abounds in moments of gorgeous opulence. For Mary's funeral services (she died at the age of 33) Purcell composed 3 pieces all included in this disc and all memorable.
            The performers include Westminster Abbey Choir; the New London Consort; soloists: sopranos Emma Kirkby and Evelyn Tubb-countertenor Michael Chance-tenor Ian Bostridge-basses Stephen Richardson and Simon Birchall. All of this under the direction of Martin Neary.
            The notable distinction of this recording is as follows and I quote from the accompanying jacket:"Complete music for Queen Mary's funeral, newly assembled and edited, and performed in Westminster Abbey by the Abbey Choir for the first time since 1695". The recording is beautifully adorned inside and out, and the sticker on the outside proclaims that it is music featured in the Westminster Abbey Funeral service fo Diana, Princess of Wales.

            This CD is subtitled "A Celebration of the Life and Death of Queen Mary" and it thus divides into two sections. To begin with, we hear a number of works written for the Queen during her life, among which are short songs by John Blow (including "The sullen years are past" which has never been recorded before) and a massive setting of one of many odes for the royal birthday celebrations by Henry Purcell - "Now does the glorious day appear," which is a sweeping and powerful work with a variety of ground bass arias, duets, recitatives, choruses and orchestral symphonies - all making for a fine and rewarding listening experience.

            In the second section, the focus moves onto music written during the mourning period after Queen Mary's death. Purcell continues to prove himself the greatest composer of the time, in his semi-sacred songs (in Latin) mourning her death, and in the music he wrote for her funeral. This section is indeed a highlight of the disc as it attempts, in a very scholarly way, to recreate the funeral in the Abbey as it might have sounded in 1695, with the Funeral Sentences by Thomas Morley interspersed with Purcell's own material and a number of Farewell Marches for trumpets and drums only.

            The members of the Abbey Choir under Martin Neary do an admirable job of stepping into the shoes of their forebears under Purcell; accompanied by the period instrument-equipped New London Consort, the sound is truly magnificent. In addition, a number of prestigious soloists appear, including Emma Kirkby and Ian Bostridge (undoubtedly key performers for capturing the purity and delicacy of this music), Michael Chance (who seems a little under-utilised), Stephen Richardson (a rich and profound bass voice if ever I heard one) along with members of the Abbey Choir itself. Of special note- one does not often find a choral CD on which all three senior musical officials at the cathedral (Organist, Assistant Organist and Organ Scholar) are heard playing, but this is one such recording: Martin Baker and Stephen Le Prevost fill in organ continuo parts in various places, as does Dr Neary himself (who also plays the harpsichord for most of the solo pieces).

            Arc of Light have done it again- a recording of extreme loveliness, going right down to the packaging which features some beautiful artistry (in fact, the main cover photograph is given an explanation in the booklet notes owing to the special way in which it was produced). A true gem in all respects.

            4 out of 5 stars Good music, okay performances.......1999-03-26

            This disc presents a somewhat eclectic collection of music devoted to Queen Mary (mostly by Purcell, but by some other contemporaries as well). Despite the common theme I couldn't get rid of the feeling that the pieces didn't "click." Neither did the soloists sound at ease. Michael Chance, perhaps, deserves the most praise. But alas, some of the pieces that he normally sings (e.g. Incassum Lesbia) were given to sopranos, who couldn't do them nearly as much justice. The voice of one of the sopranos kept cracking up (don't know which one: the past-her-prime Emma Kirkby or whoever-she-is Evelyn Tubb). Ian Bostridge is undeniably a great performer, mainly known for his brilliant lieder interpretations. I don't want to say that baroque is not his cup of tea because he is vocally well suited to this repertory. Yet I didn't think he was as great in Purcell as many of his countrymen, such as John Mark Ainsley, Charles Daniels or Mark Padmore (to the extent one recording is enough of a basis to judge, which perhaps it is not). I don't want to be unfair, but I've heard Purcell performed better. This is not a bad recording, just not the best.

              Album Description

              Serving up an exciting blend of music they have coined urban praise & worship, a sound combining all of life's experiences, both spiritual and secular, this group of young men is taking cues from fellow Christian acts who have broken

              through to mainstream markets. Gideon's sound is poised to, as they say, Take the Cross Over! Recorded live before a packed audience at Washington, DC's renowned Duke Ellington School of the Performing Arts,

              The Experience: Praise-Intimacy-Worship-Celebration is a breakthrough recording that promises to touch listeners worldwide. Tracks include offerings of gospel, contemporary-Christian, urban, pop, R&B, old-school funk and even rock. With a live-set performance style reminiscent of the big bands of yesteryear, Gideon has the distinction of being one of the few full-fledged bands in gospel music. That flavor burst forth on this self-produced debut project featuring everything from rousing call and response numbers to infectious dance tracks to tear-jerking ballads. Executive Producers: Cornelius Berkeley, Edward Henderson, Warren Jones, Micheal Richardson, B. Al Izlar Producers: Gideon Band

              5 out of 5 stars Awesome Worship.......2007-05-15

              I heard "Majesty" for the first time back in 2001 and I vowed to find this CD. I finally got a chance to purchase it and I was not dissappointed. It is awesome. Especially to see other brothas out there giving God praise!

              5 out of 5 stars Good Album .......2006-01-13

              They are really talented young men I heard them at our mens breakfast In Harrisburg and have enjoyed every song on there album just keep praising the lord and he will keep blessing you.

              5 out of 5 stars Blessed! . . . Even Prior To Hearing This Particular C.D........2005-08-30

              Yo Fellas! I play keys at The Brooklyn Tabernacle in New York City & honestly ALL I heard was the "intro" of the website ([...])...I've yet to hear this specific recording. Yet & still, I'm convinced and feel prompted by the Holy Spirit to encourage ALL of you brothers to keep this MINISTRY tight (you fellas are annointed & beyond)! My drummer introduced me to your website . . . and . . . Man! The anointing pierced my heart instantly! This band in INCREDIBLY AWESOME! That's GENUINELY WHY (WITHOUT QUESTION & WITHOUT HEARING THIS CD) I'm convinced that ANY of your other recordings, would truly bless my heart; as it has clearly blessed the hearts of those who have ALREADY - experienced "The Experience" C.D.

              May our Lord Jesus Christ keep you & bless you ALWAYS,

              This CD has been a blessing in my life. I fisrt heard the group when my sister started at LIncoln University in 98.

              5 out of 5 stars If you want to enter the Throne Room, .......2005-04-01

              this is the CD that'll take you there. Our praise and worship team would sing 'Majesty' before service. I'd heard it on the radio [not often enough!] then I was invited to hear them live! When they sang 'Majesty' I could feel burdens and bondage being dropped! Perhaps one of the best songs on the CD. 'Majesty' is arguably one of the most perfect songs of adoration when entering into prayer. Such reverance and love for our Soon Coming King!
