In Letter from Home, Philip Sparke has aimed aim to capture the emotions that can be experienced when away from home; a letter or phone call can bring both happy and sad emotions and music is perhaps unique in being able to express these subtle and paradoxical feelings. The calm opening leads to a reflective melody on clarinets and saxophones; but it is not long before the peaceful mood turns to turmoil, which eventually brings feelings of resignation in a calm chorale with a more positive mood.

In Bring Us Home, Paul Tate nimbly weaves songs of hope, joy, and promise with songs of soulful supplication. Tate’s wistful Magnificat blissfully ascends heavenward while the quiet yet powerful pleading of If You Love Me implores, Love one another as I have loved you. The jewel of this recording is most assuredly Anima Christi. At its beginning, this haunting a cappella piece mirrors the stark open harmonies of ancient monastic hymnody but soon reveals the salvific power of God’s love and mercy. This expertly composed liturgical music is suitable for reflective listening or prayerful participation. From beginning to end, Bring Us Home flawlessly illustrates our transcendence from the shadow of darkness into holy, redeeming light.
