This collection contains hymn arrangements written over several years for the composer's many professional cellist friends. Some were created as cello solos, and some were rearranged from other versions. For more advanced performers, the styles range from Traditional to Jazz. The titles include Be Thou My Vision, I Surrender All, The God Of Abraham Praise, Meditation on Take My Life And Let It Be, Brother James's Air and Ride On, King Jesus. The repertoire is suitable for church services, wedding preludes and recitals.
