A piano solo I recorded in 2012 (in a one-shot take, mistakes and all). A personal favorite written by the incredible pianist and Christian composer, Tom Howard.
He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
-Luke 10:2 (NIV)
When I was younger, my piano teacher knew that I was drawn to achingly sweet, expressive, melodic songs. She found me this piece which became one of my all time favorite songs. Sadly, when I recorded this song over 5 years ago, we only had time to do one take and I performed it rather poorly. However, while I certainly didn’t do this exquisite piece justice, I think you’ll understand (in spite of the wrong notes, hesitation, and mistakes) why I love it so much. There’s such longing in this melody, an sweet yet aching yearning for what was. But there’s joy there too; joy in remembering, but even more, a passionate refusal to forget.
