Editorial Reviews

A darkened tunnel. A distant light. Fear of the unknown, yet hope in the unseen. The Hidden Passage travels with you on life's mysterious journey; a sacred journey toward growth and becoming. Here, gifted pianist and arranger Tom Howard directs an ensemble of musicians in an offering of contemporary chamber music. Its intricate layers of sound touch your personal faith - taking the shape of your tears, dreams, trials, and joys. Rich harmonic textures of piano, strings, woodwinds and percussion become the audible symbol of your deepening companionship with Christ. For through every Hidden Passage of life, He opens a new doorway to discovery.

This review is from: The Hidden Passage (Audio CD)

Before I purchased this disc, I was already familiar with a few of the songs from other Maranatha Colours "Sampler" recordings, so I already was a fan of those specific tunes from Tom Howard. Having now heard all the wonderful songs on the disc, I can highly recommend "The Hidden Passage" to all who love melodic instrumental music. I love the fact that there is no harsh robotic or mechanical sounds in the songs. Sometimes synthesizer and programmed percussion can be great for some instrumental music, but these compositions are greatly served to the ear without a hint of soulless machines. Lovers of classical music should really appreciate this CD as well as people who just want to chill out with a beautiful melody in the background. I often sound like a broken record, but it is a shame that this CD is rare and hardly heard. I highly recommend joining the few who have had the privilege of owning this recording. You won' be sorry.
