“You can’t accuse Vancouver composer/performer Hille of following the trends. Here’s a brilliant disc that uses a small orchestra featuring strings, brass and wind, along with a rhythm section of alternative players and notables, including guitarist Ford Pier and violinist Jesse Zubat. The lyrics are largely taken from old hymns, including one made up of different first lines of several hymns. Her divine voice has the aching quality of Carly Simon, as if delivered by Jane Siberry. It is a spectacular and beautiful creation, from start to finish. Hille is best known as a musical theatre composer, yet these are not showboat spectacles. Rather, they are individual performance pieces, each one with a unique arrangement featuring different elements of the mini-orchestra. The Moon is a percussive, dissonant number with a modern classical structure. Ace Of The Nazerene is an alternative rocker that kicks the butts of most bands. As for the words, don’t forget that your Bible includes some of the scariest and most powerful passages around, as well as the most comforting, and Hille’s music and performance match each hymn”.
