Jacket Notes:
This Word Records release includes a detailed biographical essay by Jack L. Coleman praising John Lundberg’s credentials and choral expertise. Lundberg received his Bachelor of Arts in Public School Music from the University of Washington and his Master of Music from the University of Southern California. At the time of this recording, he was a doctoral student in church music and a professor of music at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California.

Lundberg served as Minister of Music at the Church of the Open Door in Los Angeles, and this choir’s arrangement of How Firm a Foundation was specially recorded as the theme for the Thru the Bible Radio Network, hosted by Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

Coleman describes three stylistic divisions across the album:

Traditional straight male chorus style (Jerusalem the Golden, How Firm a Foundation, Our Great Savior)

Glee Club style numbers with rich harmony

Three-part arrangements offering expanded range and clarity
