Savior, Redeemer of My Soul - The Smith Ensemble

[@stephenfarthing3819]

And guess what? I have another story for you! This anthem came in useful in calming down two little girls on the bus between Bath and Chippenham in Wiltshire England. I was en route to intercept the 55 bus to Swindon - when a somewhat harried father was having a hard time with his two daughters and I started humming and ha-ing the same thing. Soon calmed them down.. Especially with a few improvised words. 🎼 Wait young lady on this bus - you will press the bell soon enough🎶 And if you wait - it's due to come. Patience too and with the sun 🎵🎵🎵 !" Complimentary thanks for the tacit encouragement. It worked! 😉

I love this! You are good with improvisation! So glad he helped that stressful situation. A calming voice amidst the storm. 🌻🎶❣️

Thank you Mark for your kind words. So grateful you enjoy our music. Sorry the links weren’t working. We need to update them. Thanks for the heads up. If you would like a CD we can arrange that!

[@stephenfarthing3819]

I would not quibble at a CD of your compilation of all that you have done over the years. Come to think about it. I might have the perfect title for it. " Light of Life " you certainly do that!

[@stephenfarthing1522]

I guess that where this anthem was put together, recorded and performed is your local church! I figured out Utah as your home state a little while ago. So I equally guess this is your church in your local patch! Nice looking as well!

[@thesmithensemble4053]

You are correct about Utah! This was actually recorded at a Presbyterian church in our area. We loved the beautiful stained glass, and the people were so kind and accommodating. Grateful you enjoyed it.

[@stephenfarthing3819]

Now I have recalled where I have heard this before. In the film 2012. Near to the end of it. Basically it is the same music that accompanied the Ark 4. As it sails into a new age after the Earth radically alters. But into a new age for all people of all kinds.

[@thesmithensemble4053]

That’s is interesting. We might just have to find and hear that film score. It must be similar because this setting of this text was written for the movie “17 Miracles”. 🎶 *you must have a huge library of music in your head to make that connection.

@@thesmithensemble4053 Actually! I am a bit of a Sci-fi enthusiast. Over 40 years as a Star Trek enthusiast. But generally speaking I have kept track on Sci-fi series and films. But the chorister in me - confirms that part of that anthem does feature in 2012.. I've got quite the long memory of this..! And 2012 I have seen. Many times.
