2 out of 5 stars Not My Style.......2007-05-11

This CD has a lot of good songs on it, but it just too bland for our taste. We prefer Western music to sound as though genuine cowboys are singing it - not a fancy chorus!

5 out of 5 stars Rockin' Western Collection.......2006-08-28

For anyone who likes movie/tv music from westerns should purchase this CD. What a wonderful collection of both film and tv with great renditions of each piece. I'm about to purchase Vol. 1 to complete my collection.

5 out of 5 stars Hard to Find Great Western Themes .......2006-03-16

This CD has a number of great western themes that are not in some of the standard lists. For example it includes "The Hallejuah Trail", "Blazing Saddles", and "Giant". This CD also has what I consider the true theme of "The Comancheros". I have been disappointed with some other CDs I have purchased listing "The Comancheros" which had a song rather than this theme. Many of the tracks on this two disk CD go beyond the main theme music and are actually suites. The "Big Country" and "How the West Was Won" are just a couple of examples. It may be a little more expense than some CDs, but not bad for a two disk set. I am really happy with my purchase.

4 out of 5 stars Western Music.......2005-07-29

I enjoy this CD. It has many familiar melodies. Good background for reading, nice to listen while driving. It is also the only CD I've ever found that has the great theme from the movie "Giant."

5 out of 5 stars A great follow-up.......2003-08-29

This is the second collection by SilvaScreen, who are also responsible for "The Wild West: The Essential Western Film Music Collection" (see my review). And it's just as good as the first. There are themes in here that everyone will recognize ("Bonanza," "A Fistful of Dollars"), themes that may not be so familiar ("Duel in the Sun," "The Hanging Tree," the lively "Blazing Saddles"), and even themes you may not associate with Westerns at all ("The Friendly Persuasion"). And no duplication either: when this disc includes a piece from one of the same sources covered in its predecessor, it's a different piece. One great treat: the full lyrics to "Gunfight at OK Corral," which I've never heard outside the soundtrack of the movie itself. The arrangement from "Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid" includes not only the familiar song "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" but an overview of the music--seguing almost seamlessly into Bernstein's magnificent "The Comancheros," a rare find indeed. An expensive item, but if you love Western film music, well worth it.

5 out of 5 stars I listen to this without my kids!.......2006-10-10

I can't say enough about this series! We own all of them except Seeds of Courage, which I'm going to buy. I personally find these CDs encouraging and uplifting. I find a lot of children's music irritating. A lot of it is just plain bad. These CDs are great! The music is very catchy, and the words (since they are Bible verses), are of course, well written. I heartily recommend the whole series -- Seeds of Faith, Seeds of Praise, Seeds of Purpose, and Seeds of Courage (which we don't own yet).

5 out of 5 stars BUY IT!.......2005-12-22

We have Seeds of Courage and Seeds of Faith and both are great! Everyone in the family loves them (even the parents). They are a fantastic way to memorize scripture. We have many CDs, both secular and Christian, and these are on the top of the list!

5 out of 5 stars A Keeper.......2005-11-19

All the CDs in this set are excellent. Kids and adults love them and there are no obnoxious high pitched kid voices.

A supreme way to hide the Word in your heart to a great groove!

5 out of 5 stars Seeds of Faith/Seeds of Courage.......2005-06-21

These are AWESOME CD's. I have given out over 70 to date. Music is the best way to memorize scripture. The artists are very talented. My children surprised their father and memorized several songs/verses with the help of the memory cards/music for Christmas. The best Christmas present ever. I hope they are planning on recording more.

5 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE!.......2005-05-01

Seeds of Faith is EXCELLENT! You will be singing these in the shower! These are two CD's that you and the kids will listen too CONSTANTLY! My 4 and 6 year old absolutely LOVE this CD! The CD contains a card for each song that the kids will read and reference. They will learn these bible verses(you will too)! You'll find yourself playing the CD when the kids aren't with you! (Seeds of COURAGE is EVEN BETTER! - so get them BOTH! Best two CD's you'll purchase.)

5 out of 5 stars The best gets better with age!.......2004-11-05

Rik is at it once again! His amazing voice and supurb songwriting are prevelant on 'Good Faith' as all of his solo work has been throughout the 90s and today. I am completely moved each and every time I have the joy of listening to the greatest singer/songwriter around! Good Faith is a Godsend.

1 out of 5 stars horrible.......2004-06-16

Every once in a while I'll buy an album as a total chance shot. I did this because I liked a handful of 'Triumph' songs. Nothing personal against Rik but this is quite possibly the worst album I have ever purchased. After hearing the first few seconds on the first song I was like, "ewwww". At the half way point of the 2nd song I fast forwarded to the third. 30 seconds into this song I was offended at how bad this CD was. I listened to the first minute of every song and only made it to the end of 2 or 3 songs. I think the 8th track was the one I thought passed as decent. But man, this is some horrible stuff.

5 out of 5 stars Rik delivers the goods.......2004-03-13

I think Rik went back to the woodshed for this one - specifically, a shed built in the 1970s. Many of these tunes have a very 70s flavor in their arrangement, and there's a lot of soul here:

"Unconditional Love" - Fun uptempo track to start this album, complete w/ mariachi background and a trumpet solo
"Butterfly Lullaby" - Jazzy guitar and a cyclic progression, with a sweet flute playing the fills and solos, make this song both light and catchy, much like a 70s folk tune played by top jazz musicians; you'll find yourself humming the chorus a few hours later
"Only A Fool" - Reminiscent of the songs on "The Spiral Notebook", the lyrics will make you listen and think while the music carries you along. Another catchy song, you'll be humming along by the second chorus.
"Wicked Miss" - Contains the great lyric "Happy ever after is just one more charming lie" amidst a lot of great lyrics over a Billy Joel-style keyboard and jazz guitar. But what really lights up this song, even with the great lyrics and beautiful chords, is the flugelhorn part. If the arrangement didn't already proclaim "1970s!", that horn takes me back to my childhood - and the lyrics remind me of the bitterness which comes with being an adult.
"Beacon Street Hotel" - Lifted from the songwriting style dominant on "Swing Shift", this song is Rik's story about a hotel he remembers from his younger days. It's a nice jazzy piece, gentle yet with Rik's smirk evident in the lyrics and vocal delivery.
"Way Back Home" - Featuring his daughter Shannon on flute, and playing beautifully. This one takes you back to the "Absolutely"/"Ipso Facto" recordings; the halftime progression in the chorus is classic Rik. Great stuff.
"Moment Of Truth" - Rik takes a turn writing a Country tune. Slide guitar. Soulful singing, personal lyrics. Yep, you gotta admire his spirit. Probably my least favorite track here.
"Break Away" - Rik excels at the personal inspirational songs and this is another great uptempo addition to his classics, with a bridge progression that gives me chills.
"Ask" - Slower, very soulful song. It's a nice piece but not especially memorable. But you gotta put it in context - on anyone else's recording, this would be a standout track; here, it's just a nice piece.
"Spare Change" - Strong adult contemporary song, the kind that sounds good when the summer's just getting started and you open your car windows for the first time in months. Upbeat, strong major progression. A feel-good piece.
"True Hearts" - Rik finds his Celtic roots in this jig with rock sensibility! The chorus is an automatic drinking song, and you'll end this tune with a big grin plastered on your face. It's a great piece to end the album, very inspirational and dynamic.

This is the kind of songwriting I love to hear from Rik. He doesn't cut loose with a lot of rock, blues, or classical runs, and even the jazzy playing is more subdued than the last few releases. But the writing is strong and his delivery is 100% solid. This may his best album yet, and that's saying a lot for a guy whose decades of great recordings set a standard few other musicians can match. Add this one to your collection!

5 out of 5 stars Stunning album.......2004-01-24

This is Rik Emmett's greatest solo album so far. The guitar playing is fantastic (as always) and all the songs of the highest quality. This is one of the best albums I've heard in recent years. If you like melodic, intelligent rock music of the highest quality, then look no further!

5 out of 5 stars A Christmas Classic.......2007-01-28

My father bought this album on reel-to-reel back in the '50's and it has been a part of my Christmas ambience ever since. I absolutely love it, can't have Christmas without it.

5 out of 5 stars Recommended for those who love Orcastrated Music.......2007-01-09

This is a classic CD for those who love orcastrated music. It brings the spirit of Christmas in their homes. It takes you back of the Christmases long ago when it was more relaxed without the hussel and bussel, and without people being so angry. I give this 5 stars and will pass the CD down for future generations!

This is an album I grew up with. It holds great memories..Percy Faith IS Christmas in my home. The strings are beautiful.

5 out of 5 stars A Christmas Classic!!!.......2006-03-16

This is my all-time favorite Christmas album. Some like the schmaltzy sounds of Johnny Mathis and Bing Crosby for Christmas, which is fine. But Percy Faith has a pristine ambient beauty of the wordless choir which soars to emotional heights beyond any other Christmas album.

Several years ago we bought this great collection for my mother-in-law, who's in her 80s, and while a lot of the music was familiar to me and my husband, she knew every song. Now it's one of our favorites, too. Anyone who loves music will appreciate this. The double-disc set contains many memorable tunes, from Hugo Winterhalter's "Canadian Sunset" to Jimmy Dorsey's "So Rare".

Album Description

The jaunty Gene DePaul score for the musical play "Lil' Abner" based on the comic strip by Al Capp is heard instrumentally - and it's quite a show! "Broadway Bouquet" from 1965 is an important part of the famed Faith "string" album series - perhaps the pinnacle of his rich string sound that spanned gorgeous melodies and counterlines across sections of the large orchestra. (Bill Halvorsen)

Album Description

Pianist Percy Faith, a pioneer of the Easy Listening genre, had a successful and lengthy career as the in-house conductor and arranger for Columbia Records. Faith was renowned for his musical interpretations of Broadway and motion picture music. These two reissues from Collectables on 1 CD were originally released in 1965. 24 tracks. 2003.

3 out of 5 stars It's not stereo.......2005-01-10

I bought this solely for "Once Upon a Time", and was dismayed that the CD is mono, not stereo. The quality of the recordings leaves much to be desired, as many of them lack the pristine quality I'm used to on a CD.

5 out of 5 stars classic arrangements by the classic gentlemen ~ Percy Faith.......2004-02-16

Two albums from the Columbia Records people blending different decades "Li'l Abner" (originally released CL 955 in 1956) and "Broadway Bouquet" (originally released LS 9156 in 1965), sharing the unmistakable style of the "Percy Faith Touch" ~ you know in an instant you're in for the best of the best ~ Duke Ellington was so taken with Faith's arrangements, that he would give anything to be able to arrange in that fashion.

Let's begin with "IT'S A TYPICAL DAY" along with "LOVE IN A HOME", both from "Li'l Abner", wonderful opening counterparts and the stirring arrangements by Maestro Percy Faith ~ "JUBILATON T. CORNPONE", uplifting cue that will keep bouncing in your head for hours, maybe even days ~ "IF I HAD MY DRUTHERS", one of the forgettable tunes from the show ~ "NAMELY YOU", has to be the best and favorite song of the Johnny Mercer and Gene De Paul score ~ by the way, these two composers penned the lively screen musical "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers", both scores were sure winners from two talented songwriters, Percy Faith steps up to the podium and takes it to another level.

Now with "Broadway Bouquet", we have perfection within the realm of lush arranging, so flawless "HELLO, DOLLY!" (Jerry Herman), "ONCE UPON A TIME" (Adams/Strouse), "SOMEWHERE" (Sondheim/Bernstein), "SUNRISE, SUNSET/FIDDLER ON THE ROOF" (Harnick/Bock) (one of my all-time favorites, can't get enough of this score), "WHO CAN I TURN TO (WHEN NOBODY NEEDS ME)" (Bricusse/Newley), "A QUIET THING" (Ebb/Kander), "MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY" (Comden/Green/Styne), "WHAT KIND OF FOOL AM I?" (Bricusse/Newley) (two of the best songwriters in the business), "LONG AGO" (David Heneker), "THE SWEETEST SOUNDS" (Richard Rodgers) (his credit of compositions goes through the ceiling, will never be another like 'em), "AS LONG AS HE NEEDS ME" (Lionel Bart) (a wonderful classic that is still popular by today's standards), "THEME FROM "GOLDEN BOY" (Adams Strouse) (another team of composers that have made an impact on the Broadway scene) ~ an example of the "Percy Faith Touch", so effortless, you feel like you're floating on a cloud ~ falls into Percy's many albums of fabulous string arrangements, they grabbed the attention of the listener and wouldn't let go. Can't think of any other arranger/composer who left such a great legacy as this man!

Highly recommend to ALL fans of Percy Faith ~ thanks to Collectables for releasing this collection from the vaults of Columbia Records ~ so listeners sit back, relax and enjoy a small part of Maestro Percy Faith's fabulous career!

This album is curiously packaged: the Latin title Credo on a recording of Russian liturgical music, sold not with religious symbolism but with a close-up of the heavy-lidded, dark eyes of Dmitri Hvorostovsky. Fortunately, the contents are eminently worthwhile. Hvorostovsky is, deservedly, one of the rising stars of our time, with a rich, chocolaty baritone consistently wielded with intelligence. The St. Petersburg Chamber Choir deserves to be better known; although they're frequently singing backup here, this is a beautifully disciplined, well-tuned ensemble, singing with meaning and with resonant voices. --Sarah Bryan Miller

5 out of 5 stars inspiring and powerful.......2000-06-26

This CD sounds at times as if one is hearing angels sing ! Very moving, this is sacred music at its best, with the phenomenal Hvorostovsky singing with tenderness and passion. To quote what he wrote on the liner notes: "I believe...in the power of the Russian sacred music to transport the spirit, to open our eyes to the mysteries of faith and to teach us, as Dostoevsky believed, that 'beauty will save the world'". And there is so much beauty in this recording ! This is more than music, it's an experience.

One word suffices: goosebumps

5 out of 5 stars Kinda makes you agree with Dostoyevsky, doesn't it?.......1999-06-06

This beautiful offering of Russian church music even suits ears used to non-Orthodox liturgies. Hvorostovsky's usually smooth baritone occasionally chokes with emotion, since this stuff is so powerful! Haunting melodies and sonority make this an experience not soon forgotten. Choral conductors and musicians, don't pass this one up -- you should know some of these composers if you don't already! Besides - Hvorostovsky's never done any recording short of top-notch.

    Album Description

    Leo Smit has an impressive pedigree as an American composer and musician. A virtuoso pianist, he has worked closely with such legends as Stravinsky, Balanchine, Copland and Stokowski. He has set more that 75 of Emily Dickinson's poems to music, grouping the works into cycles about related subject matter. The disc contains the world premiere recordings of three of those cycles- Childe Emilie- Memories and Fantasies of Childhood, The Celestrial Thrush- Songs of Music and Bird, and The White Diadem- Songs About Poets and Poetry. Smit's songs display great sensitivity to Dickinson's very personal world, and reflect the poet's emotional range by adopting an extremely colorful palette. The songs frequently veer from the simple and tonal to more rhythmically complex and chromatic settings, always alert to word and mood.
