Description

For Salvationists, the act of making a difference is key to their identity as Christians.  But behind every action is a deeply felt motivation, borne out of commitment and consecration.   Keys for Kenya, a new recording of musical offerings by Patricia Owen, combines both worlds, being a practical fund-raising project on the one hand, and a vehicle for prayer and meditation on the other.

The album begins suitably with an invitation to sit down in the Kingdom of God.  As we accept this call to rest together with diverse others, we begin a musical reverie which describes the many influences that have informed our Christian journey.  Each song has significance.  Every melody is compelling.

The overall content might best be described as a collection of music held in deep affection by the artist.  Many are dedicated to Salvationist friends and colleagues of personal significance.  Some are taken from the rich choral library of our Songster music.  Others belong to the world at large, and are familiar and thought provoking as we encounter them through Patricia’s skilled piano arrangements, all but one of which is her own invention.

Comment from James Curnow who is the composer of Worship The Lord – Track 3:

” I can’t thank you enough for sending me this wonderful setting on Worship the Lord in the Beauty of Holiness. The way Patricia enhanced the text with her arrangement, filling it with a depth of meaning only possible through a personal understanding of the text, makes listening all the more enjoyable for for me. If I were a pianist, which I am not, I would have wanted to write an arrangement just like this. May the Lord continue to bless your piano ministry. Jim”.
