One of the great joys of being the director of the NDFC is introducing young people to the distinctive beauty of the world's cultures as they sing the praises of God. This prayerful dialogue with God is great, as witnessed in the cultural outpourings of the nations: the uninhibited dance of African rhythms, the melodic lilt of Irish music, the romantic exuberance of Spanish ballads, the noble simplicity and yearning of Native American song. Of whatever faith, we can rejoice in the differences, embrace them, and not be divided by them.

The music on this album celebrates some of the remarkable styles available to the Church at the dawn of a third Christian millennium. In every word we sing, may the voice of our Creator be heard as praise the living God with gladness.

Steven C. Warner, May 1999
