Imagine a packed Royal Albert Hall, a hundred-strong orchestra, a massive choir of voices drawn from over a hundred choirs, and from a hugely enthusiastic audience, an atmosphere of uninhibited celebration, worship and praise. If it were possible, along with the cheering promenaders, that audience would physically raise the roof off the Hall with their joy in music, their praise of God, and their loud applause and appreciation.
This is the event we call Prom Praise. Now you don't have to imagine it. Whether you've never been, or were there on the night, this album is a fine opportunity to either live or relive the event. The whole concert, including Hugh Palmer's sparkling and striking Pause for Thought, is here.
We've included every moment: outstanding orchestral and choral classics, old and new; rousing concert and worship songs by the soprano, Margaret Ferguson; and the great privilege of the evening, the uniquely moving compositions and performances of Prom Praise special guests Keith and Kristyn Getty.
It's all here and now yours to enjoy!
