One of the things that is wonderful about hymns is that they are a sort of universally shared poetry, at least among certain populations.

I was raised in a Catholic school, and I would always go to church on Sunday, and I would hear the same music over and over and over and over again, same gospels, hymns, everything.

The MTC is known for singing music by great master composers, hymns, American music, Broadway numbers, popular songs, and inspirational music. If the audience doesn't like one genre, they need only wait for the next number.

You know when you're young you think you will always be. As you become more fragile, you reflect and you realize how much comfort can come from the past. Hymns can carry you into the future.

I wanted to have more songs with religious backgrounds. The Christmas record has strong, traditional hymns, but it also has a song called 'Christmas in Heaven' about missing someone that you love that's passed on, and wondering what's going on up there on Christmas.

Just as anyone who listens to the muse will hear, you can write out of your own intention or out of Inspirational. There is such a thing. It comes up and talks. And those who have heard deeply the rhythms and hymns of the Gods, can recite those hymns in such a way that the Gods will be attracted.

You know when you're young you think you will always be. As you become more fragile you reflect and you realize how much comfort can come from the past. Hymns can carry you into the future.
