Customer Reviews

4 great CDs of traditional hymns
If you've ever wanted a collection of hymns just like they sing in the old days, here it is. The songs are wonderfully rendered without any of the "artistic improvisation" that modern day Christian music artists feel like they have to do to emulate rock and pop stars. Instead, there is either an organ accompaniment or piano, and some wonderful male and female voices. Some are solos, and most are groups. I gave a set to my pastor and his wife, and they were very thrilled that this set is available. You can easily follow along with a hymnal because the words are enunciated clearly.

Traditional Hymns!
This is a 4-CD set of 100 classic hymns. There are no hideous re-arrangements of these traditional hymns! Thank God for that! Don't get me wrong, I'm sure people like that other stuff, but as for me, I like the hymns the way I sing them in church!

Most of the songs are sung by a small choir with an organ accompaniment. There are some songs which have other instruments, but that's the exception. The songs are well sung and the music quality is pretty good. The only flaw I noted was that there were a few songs which had a slight word change here or there. Without a hymnal of my own (which I hope is on the way), I can't check this out in detail. But it isn't enough for me to knock it down a rating.

Bottom line: If you are looking for traditional hymns done traditionally for a GREAT price, get this 4-CD set!!!

I've been lead astray!!!
I decided to buy this collection based on the other reviews posted here - I was (and am still) looking for a fairly comprehensive collection of hymns that are enjoyable to listen to. I have to disagree with the other reviewers on many points. To me, this is not the "traditional" church music that I grew up with. As I listened to the CDs, I was irritated to find that EVERY SONG SOUNDS IDENTICAL. Have you ever been to a church where they use "canned music" (everything is played from a CD instead of with live instruments, like an actual piano) - that is what this CD sounds like to me. The beat of the music appears to be made with a keyboard's drum machine - it is just so . . .canned - that's the best way I can describe it. I found that I had to make it a real point to listen to the lyrics to disseminate one song from the next - they just all kind of run together because the key is the same, the beat is the same, the voices are the same, the lead singers are usually the same, etc.

Also - one other point - if you like to sing along with the music (females), you will want to have a high soprano voice - all of these songs are way out of my alto vocal range. At times, the choir sounds fairly shrill because all of the music is performed is such a high range.

Don't be drawn in simply because this set is so large. I was really excited to see how many songs this collection contained - truly, all of my favorites that I grew up singing, and still sing in church. Don't be taken in, simply because there are a lot of songs to be had here - I would much rather have half the songs, but some quality to go along with them. Alas, I am going to keep looking for a good collection - this definitely isn't it.
