With more and more Bahá'ís participating in home devotional meetings, devotionals in Bahá'í Centers, study circles, Feasts, Holy Days, and other gatherings, the friends have been longing for songs all can sing together in community, songs that are reverent expressions of Bahá'í worship.http://www.intonetheverses.com/index.html
Advertising on the net is Intone These Verses. What an extensive resource. This is from the site. -gw
| Intone the Verses is a source for music based on the Writings of the Central Figures of the Bahá’í Faith: The Báb, Bahá’u’lláh, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Shoghi Effendi. These songs express many of the most sublime thoughts and ideals found in the Bahá’í Writings and should help us all feel a sense of reverence and appreciation for guidance we have been given by God. These songs also have musical diversity: there are songs written in various cultural styles. Some are prayers. Some are written for group singing in unison, and some are designed for a cappella choir.Three CDs are currently available: Intone...the Verses of God, Singing His Praise on Holy Days, and Hymns of Praise! (A fourth CD is in production now.)These CDs have both vocals and instrumental tracks which can be used for group singing, personal devotions, or simply listening. The piano accompaniments are easy enough for most pianists, and there are guitar chords as well.The vocals on the CDs listed on this site are performed by Wendy Scott and Ron Lyles, both of California. Wendy serves as the producer for the project. The composer/arranger for all the songs listed on this website is (Dr.) Zak Mortensen. |
