Fierce Was the Wild Billow CD
$ 9.00
Product Description Enjoy the unique musical adventure of a new recording of Moravian hymns played on banjo by Rev. Adam Goodrich. When we think of Moravian music traditions, it’s typically the organ or trombone or choirs that spring to mind; if one is from New York, steel drums might enter the picture. The banjo, on the other hand, is not one usually associated with Moravian chorales. That changed this year at the hands of the Rev. Adam Goodrich, pastor of Union Cross Moravian Church in Winston-Salem, N.C. This fall, Adam completed an album entitled “Fierce Was the Wild Billow,” which collects his recordings of more than 50 Moravian chorales played on the banjo. This CD contains 56 tracks of Moravian chorales “translated into banjo” and performed and recorded by Adam. Produced by the Moravian Music Foundation. For more on the creation of this collection, read this article in the Moravian Magazine.
