5 out of 5 stars LOVE IN ANY LANGUAGE.......2006-12-26

I bought this CD for the song "Love Is Spoken Here" which was sung at my father's funeral, to celebrate his life and love of music, especially Church music. Our soloist was a friend whose voice warmed our breaking hearts. But when I saw that I could also get the Mormon Tabernacle Choir version along with many other beautiful American songs, I ordered this. I highly recommend MTC if you are seeking choir music to lift your spirit.

Album Description

An actual human heartbeat is the rhythm (drums) of special arrangements of traditional Christian children's songs. The songs on this CD actually stop babies from crying, soothe symptoms of colic, and help parents get their children to sleep through the night - without having to let them cry! Each CD includes a Parents Guide - An Introduction to Heartbeat Musical Therapy booklet with common-sense suggestions for bedtime routines that work. Satisfaction is guaranteed or the manufacturer will refund the full purchase price direct to the consumer. These recordings are used medically in over 8,000 hospitals and special care centers to calm listeners, induce sleep and assist in healing. They are also used in over 1 million homes to help establish regular healthy sleep schedules for children and to help families get the rest they need. They are effective for listeners of all ages - from prenatal to elderly - but are recommended for prenatal to 6 years. They can be started at any age. They can even be used during the last trimester of pregnancy to help both mom and baby get a good night's sleep.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great soothing music.......2007-05-14

My 2 week old Grandson wasn't sleeping soundly so I went seaching for some help for him (and his parents!) I chose this heartbeat cd based on other reviewer's comments and wasn't dissappointed. The first time I listened to it I wondered if the heartbeat part would be annoying for his parents to listen to but it quickly seems to fade into your subconcious and you can just enjoy the simple beauty of the songs. And the best part is that it seems to help him settle down into a deeper, less restless sleep! I have since purchased it for several baby shower gifts. My favorite songs are "Into My Heart" and Down in My Heart".

There are so many new things on the market since when I was a new Mom that it's hard to know just what is helpful and what isn't. That's why the reviews are so helpful! A couple other baby items that are somewhat new on the market that make wonderful gifts are: the CD and book: "The Happiest Baby on the Block", the "Close and Secure Sleeper" and the Bumbo seat (a must have!)

5 out of 5 stars This Is Great!.......2007-04-30

I originally received this a gift for my daughter (she's now 8yrs old). I used it to help her get sleep which was a tough job. It helped tremendously. It is such soothing music, I used to fall asleep with her. I loved it! I now just purchased this for as a Baby Shower Gift. This is great CD to have for babies...You will not be disappointed with it.

5 out of 5 stars Jesus Loves Me Heartbeat CD.......2006-11-14

Having previously purchased a "Mommy Heartbeat Bear Sleep Aid" for my daughter's baby and finding the heartbeat worked fantastic in calming her, I wanted to try this CD also as it also had the real mother's heartbeat along with Christian songs. I wasn't disappointed. It worked great. Very relaxing for both baby and me. When watching my granddaughter I play it the whole time she is at my house. I find that there is a difference if I forget to turn it on. Especially when I try to put her to sleep. My grandson is even starting to learn the lyrics. This would make a great gift for a new mom and the grandmas too.

5 out of 5 stars Must Have!.......2005-10-27

Before this CD, my 7-week-old baby would take 20 mins to get to sleep and then only stay asleep for 45 mins before waking up fussy. Ever since we started using this CD she goes to sleep easily (about 5 mins) and sleeps about 2 hours for naps and 5-6 hours at night. This is the best thing I have purchased for my baby. It's worth the 1-day shipping!

5 out of 5 stars Great CD!.......2004-09-25

My 3 year old and 8 month old love this CD! They listen to it to fall asleep for naps or for bedtime. We even played it in the middle of the night when our 8 month old used to wake up many times a night, and it helped a lot! We play it after our 3 year old has a nightmare and it helps calm her down and even fall back asleep quickly (and she doesn't have another nightmare after that for a while)! We love it! It's Christian, too, so that makes it even better!

    5 out of 5 stars Inspirational!.......2004-10-08

    Majestic hymns sung with British accents. A great combination! I haven't noticed any objectionable sounds on my copy.

    4 out of 5 stars hymns we sang in church.......2003-02-16

    i grew up in a traditional presbyterian church that had a pipe organ. i wanted a cd of many of the hymns that we sang in church sung by a choir and accompanied by a pipe organ. this cd fulfilled my wishes perfectly. the hymns are performed in a very straight-forward fashion with no show-boating or excess flourishes which is exactly what i wanted. this is not gospel music but what i refer to as liturgical music to indicate that it is religious music but not gospel music. i would give it 5 stars but there is a slight hiss. other than that the recording quality is very good.

    Few recording producers and performers take the time and care to so intelligently exhibit a sampling of the rich and colorful American hymn repertoire. This thoughtful and varied program of hymns, Shaker songs, anthems, and spirituals shows what good things can happen when a top-rank choir and director and an accommodating record company join in such a project. The 20 selections come from a variety of sources, including The Southern Harmony (published in 1834) and The Sacred Harp (published in 1844). The Shaker tunes are from the vast collections at New Lebanon and Pleasant Hill, New York, and Sabbathday Lake, Maine. Four of the six spirituals and several of the hymns are arrangements by Alice Parker; others are arranged by James Mulholland. Among the hymns and spirituals are two American choral classics: Randall Thompson's famous and oft-performed "Alleluia" and Daniel Gawthrop's "Sing Me to Heaven." --David Vernier

    5 out of 5 stars The best choir out there.......2004-03-02

    The Kansas City Chorale is a SUPERIOR vocal group. I am impressed by its large and wholesome sound that is produced by such a small group. The Alleluia CD is beautiful and also very diverse. "Sing me to Heaven" is gorgeous. The harmonies are beautiful on the page, but are even more beautiful when sung by this ensemble. "Alleluia" is also wonderful, and I was impressed by their interpretation of the many shaker songs and spirituals. This cd is a MUST HAVE for any choral singer or enthusiast.

    5 out of 5 stars Gorgeous.......2003-03-24

    My choir sang "Alleluia", and used this recording to learn the dynamics. A brilliant performance of that piece. The others are, too, excellent. Good balance, dynamic, and overall sound. But the "Alleluia" really stood out for me.

    5 out of 5 stars An Excellent CD.......2002-01-23

    My pastor bought me this CD and I wasn't sure I'd really like it. Chorale music? You must be joking. But I popped it into my CD player at home and was immediately astonished at what I heard. The Kansas City Chorale have done an outstanding job of singing hymns of various types, most without musical accompaniment. Track 7 ("Encouragement") is my absolute favorite song on this CD. It is so beautiful to hear, especially when I crank it on my big stereo or over my headphones.

    Bottom line: if you like chorale music, religious music, or even classical music, you will really enjoy this CD. The quality of the recording is very good.

    5 out of 5 stars A moving survey of American hymns.......2002-01-02

    This is an excellent, deeply musical performance of a wide variety of hymns, Shaker tunes, and spirituals. The choices provide variety and a thumbnail sketch of a time in America when hymn-singing was a part of every week's activities. I agree with another reviewer that "Precious Lord" is a highlight. Also noteworthy is "Give Me Jesus" at the end. Both the singing and acoustics of the recording are top notch. I have already played this CD many times since receiving it two days ago. I'm ordering copies for friends! Among my many choral CDs, this one stands out as a favorite.

    5 out of 5 stars a listener from North Kansas CIty.......2001-06-27

    What a excellent CD! I got this for Christmas after going to a couple of their concerts and it sounds just as good as it did live. If you like chorale music then this is the cd for you. I personally know a man that sings in this group and is very talented singer along with the rest!
