by Kyle Pederson —
Pederson has put together an instrumental collection of music that he has taken from hymns that are more than 150 years old.
He emphasizes the melodies as he enhances the songs, making them more accessible for today’s listener.
The music is uplifting, tranquil and relaxing, as it emphasizes the melodies of each song.
Complex arrangements are made to sound simple because of the expertise of the musicians.
The music is all acoustic, thus emphasizing its simplicity even more.
