Tom Howard has produced and arranged some beautiful romantic melodies for this instrumental album. Many were unfamiliar to me, but I still enjoyed them.
"Love Will Be Our Home" was written by Steven Curtis Chapman and made famous by Sandi Patty. It is performed here in a very majestic arrangement, at first so symphonic that it wasn't easily recognizable. Which brings up one characteristic common to most of the selections; they are reminiscent of elevator music. You know the kind-where you think you recognize a melody, but before long, it sounds like a different song.
Another Steven Curtis Chapman tune on the album is "I Will Be Here," done with dulcimers and other folk instruments. There is a very sweet, romantic song called "Don't Let Me Walk This Road Alone".
Also included are renditions of "The Song Remembers When," "No Remedy For Love," "House Of Love," "One Moment In Time," "Only Love," "Your Love Amazes Me," and "I Swear." These are 10 songs put together in such a way that you could play them as background for a reception, or quiet dinner music. They are lovely, and I think if you are into instrumental music, you will like this album. It is pleasant to listen to, but there is nothing significantly outstanding about it.
