Songs of Hope and Consolation
Warm your heart and comfort your soul
From times of loss or sorrow to those of hope and joy, Tom Kendzia and Joseph Hébert have provided a compelling collection of instrumental songs that will warm your heart and comfort your soul.
Revel in classic spirituals and inspirational hymns
Featuring classic spirituals such as "Amazing Grace," "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" and "There Is a Balm in Gilead"—and some of today's most inspirational hymns including "Be Not Afraid" and "I Am the Bread of Life"—this collection boasts an incredible range of songs that are ideal for a variety of occasions.
Balance homage and improvisation
The expressive tones of Joseph's cello melt effortlessly into Tom's soaring piano and rich arrangements, featuring just the right touch of strings and other background instruments. Playing off of the familiar melodies and harmonies of each piece, these talented musicians create a wonderful balance of homage and improvisation.
Offer strength to those in need
Tom and Joseph both felt that there was a lack of quiet, reflective music for people in need. Whether it be illness, hardship, or mourning the passing of a loved one, their first collaboration helps to fill that void with beautiful instrumental interpretations of familiar songs that offer strength and peace.
