The members of QuinTuba share not only a musical bond, but a foundation of mutual faith. They have each experienced the love and mercy of God in their lives, the Holy Spirit's guiding presence, and the life-changing reality of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection.

The gift of music also points to God's glory, and this album brings together musical expressions of praise and worship spanning hundreds of years--from the centuries-old "O Sacred Head, Now Wounded," to the 21st-century movie soundtrack song, "Alone Yet Not Alone," taking refuge in the knowledge that God is with us even in the loneliest and hardest times.

A special aspect of the project is that the group has commissioned new arrangements of hymns by a number of leading composers including 10-time Emmy Award winner Bruce Broughton, John Cheetham, Martin Ellerby, John Stevens, Jim Self, Greg Danner, Steven Winteregg, and Zach Collins

Enjoy hearing these songs of the Christian faith in a new way; you'll find these arrangements by eight contemporary composers musically and spiritually rewarding.
