Recorded in 2005 . This worship project was conceived and executed by Edward Melendez. He over saw the song choices and their arrangements. Selecting a number of classic worship songs from what Edward fondly refers to as, the “Oden Fong” days. This is where Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa’s associate pastor Oden Fong would lead both the music in worship as well as a Bible study on Tuesday evenings in the early 1990′s. The worship during this time had greatly influenced and inspired Edward. It helped to cultivate Edward’s own style of worship leading to this day.
Using layered instruments and multiple vocal harmonies, this album hopefully leads other to a place of worship and meditation.
Edward’s biggest challenge was to meticulously go over each song’s newly updated arrangement, then selecting instrumentation for each individual song. It would all be a great undertaking, and one that Edward looked forward to applying his skills to. The end result helped Edward to find a perfect balance that would allow each of the songs selected to showcase their message and their melody to its fullest potential. Edward would also add his own signature touch to these familiar tunes, adding and orchestrating each part, so as to keep the song’s integrity while expanding the song with a more contemporary sound and feel.
The vocalist who participated on the album were: Steven Smith, Sherwin Quezon, Janice Devries, and Robyn Samuelson.
