To the Listener: Perhaps you are at the cross; you have heard of Jesus but have never investigated His claims. Perhaps you are near the cross; you have surrounded yourself with religious knowledge but are still leery of whole-hearted commitment to Christ. Perhaps you are beneath the cross; you have submitted your will to the authority of Jesus’ teaching and have surrendered your life in complete trust to God’s saving power. Wherever you are, there is something for you in here, and, as you open your ears and heart, God will call you closer and closer to His beautiful cross and the sacrifice of His all-loving Son. About the Project: Jonathan Reed and Christian Schrock met while ministering in their home church. Their musical collaborations birthed a dream to create and record advanced hymn arrangements for piano and cello. Nine years in the making, At, Near, Beneath is that dream come true. Whether pairing Gabriel Faure's Elegie with How Can It Be or casting To God Be the Glory in a semi-Baroque style, each hymn arrangement draws on Jonathan and Christian's classical training. Countless hours of disciplined practice and musical preparation ensures each piece will speak to listeners again and again. With hymns covering topics such as joy, peace, death, redemption, assurance, friendship, and contemplation, this project showcases—with musical commentary—the myriad ways God works in the lives of His human creations.
