Performance CD featuring eight concert solos for piano. After a long absence from solo piano recording, Joel Raney has put together an amazing new CD of concert arrangements that will delight his many fans. Those who are familiar with Joel's vocal music may not know of his rare skill as a pianist. From his earning of a Masters in Piano from Juilliard, to the recording of hundreds of advertising tracks (think of the United Airlines' Rhapsody in Blue commercials), to church recitals featuring his own arrangements, Joel's exuberant yet sensitive keyboard work has never failed to move his listeners. This new CD features recordings of his more difficult piano arrangements. Some, such as the title track Carry Me Home and the lively medley Heaven, have a gospel flavor, tinged with jazz, a style for which Joel is renowned. Others are creative imaginings of favorite hymns like His Eye Is on the Sparrow and How Great Thou Art. Church musicians or indeed anyone interested in piano music can't afford to miss out on this wonderful new collection!.
