Product Description
The two pieces, which are composed in a Medley, are "As the Deer" and "Hallelujah, Oh Lord we praise your name". They belong, the first to the repertoire of "white" religious music, generally called Christian Music, which is characterized by a clear influence of the Country and Pop genre and the other to the repertoire of "Gospel Music" (Black Gospel Music), Afro-American religious music, born in the Christian-Methodist churches in the '30s.
The author of "As the Deer" is Martin J. Nystrom, American composer who, based on a simple and very effective chord progression, resumes the beginning of Psalm 42: " As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God ... "(Psalm 42, 1-2)
The author of "Hallelujah, Oh Lord we praise your name" is Keith Armstead, minister of music at King George Church of God in King George, VA. The song, with a typical Gospel atmosphere, is characterized by the "solo vs. chorus" mode, that is to say a short singing phrase performed by a single singer (in this arrangement performed by sopranos) alternates the response of the whole choir. The song is included in the album "You can count on Jesus", produced by Armstead and published in 2003.

I due brani, che si succedono in forma di Medley, sono As the Deer e Hallelujah, Oh Lord we praise your name. Appartengono l'uno dal repertorio della musica religiosa bianca, in genere definita Christian Music, che si caratterizza per una chiara influenza del genere Country e Pop e l'altro al repertorio della Gospel Music (Black Gospel Music), musica religiosa Afro-Americana, nata nelle chiese Cristiano-Metodiste negli anni '30.
Autore di As the Deer è Martin J. Nystrom, compositore americano che, sulla base di un semplice ed efficacissimo giro di accordi, riprende l'inizio del Salmo 42: Come una cerva anela ai corsi d'acqua, così l'anima mia anela a Te, o Dio. ... (Sal 42, 1-2)
L'autore di Hallelujah, Oh Lord we praise your name è Keith Armstead, ministro della musica alla King George Church of God di King George, VA.. Il brano, dall'atmosfera tipicamente Gospel, si caratterizza per la modalità solo vs. coro, cioè ad una breve frase canora eseguita da un solo cantore (in questo arrangiamento affidata alla sezione dei soprani) si alterna la risposta di tutto il coro. Il brano è contenuto nell'album You can count on Jesus, prodotto dallo stesso Armstead e pubblicato nel 2003.
